Graduation Speech -- Graduation Speech, Commencement Address

The sentence has finally come. Fellow seniors, we ar in a flash on our own. Its time to take down our parking permits and faint out our binders one last time. Tonight is our graduation - a time to keep back an end to a journey. Tonight is our commencement - the beginning of a new course. Weve said goodbye to our teachers, signed yearbooks, paid our fines now we celebrate 13 years of progress and friendship and we direct in front to achieving our goals as we embark on a new odyssey. Weve seen our last dance. Weve yet to mystify our first college lecture. Weve heard our last announcements, now we eagerly look frontwards to making bearinglines. Weve played in our last football game (in the Tacoma Dome), and now we be ready to start this game of life. Of all the institutions that structure American life, none are viewed with the combination of alarm and affection that high schools are. We perpetrate them with tremendous and, perhaps, contradictory hopes that they will nurture individual achievement as well as social development that they will be breakns from an lots heartless world as well as preparation to premise it that they will be sites of hard work as well as personal pleasure. We have finally gained our independence, and with that comes the opportunity to do anything we choose and head in any direction we wish. But with our newfound freedom comes anxiety and fear, sadness and reflection. Though our individual experiences at Sulzer are as grotesque as ourselves, weve all gained the fundamentals necessary to influence those around us. We shouldnt be afraid of what lies ahead because at 18, we can create our own destiny. We should look forward to the opportunities we how have as graduates. Though the world may appear unsettling, u... ... seen our last Mr. KHS and Gong Show, danced at our senior Prom, and acted in our last efflux musical, but we have so much more to do. Though we are all reluctant to say goodbye to the friends weve made, we mu st look forward to the opportunities of the future. We have acquired traits during our tenure at Sulzer that will undoubtedly be profitable in our future endeavors. Weve been made great mathematicians, accomplished scientists, renowned writers, and notable actors. As first class students, we must seize the day, leave our footprints behind, and unceasingly reflect on our time and experiences shared at Sulzer. For those of you who still find unprepared for the future, Dr. Seuss can reassure you. You have brains in your head you have feet in your shoes you can steer yourself any direction you choose. thank you, congratulations, and happy fathers day.
