Graduation Speech -- Graduation Speech, Commencement Address
Someone very special in my life once told me, Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off of your goals. Upon entering naughty school four years ago, the majority of us had one goal and only one goal in mind, graduation exercise. Many of us overhear comprehend people say that tall school is the best time of our lives, so we better enjoy it. With that in mind, we theory that the next four years were handout to be a breeze and before we knew it we would be out of here. Well, that is when reality hit us ... Way back in the first few days of September in 1997, we all took our first steps onto the big campus of Conolon High School. For some of us it was exciting and exhilarating, for others it was scary and nerve wracking or even a little or very intimidating. Whatever the rush of emotions that came over us may have been, it was just the beginning. As lowly little Freshman, we had to adjust to high school life. Going from middle school to high school wa s a big transition whether we wanted to admit it or not. Some of us thought that the change would be easier if we got involved, so many joined athletics, leadership or a club or two and then there were some that trenchant to just focus on their studies. Whichever path we decided to choose, we still had the same goal, to just fit in with everyone and start our dogged journey towards graduation. For our class, the class of 2006, graduation was not going to come easily. We were the class of firsts, and it all started Freshman year. During that year we all first experienced sleep deprivation. We were not used to staying up ripe and then having to get up early. Then along came our Sophomore year. Our second year at Conolon introduced us to the wonderful world of rubrics. We we... ...onight is our night to shine and likewise our time to set new goals. After we leave tonights ceremony a new life for us begins. It go forth be time for us to pass on to bigger things and it will be our time to overcome more obstacles. We will move on to college, work, starting new careers and starting families. I have faith in each and everyone of you that you will make your dreams become reality. Just remember that if you stay focused on what you want, do what you want and be who you are, your accomplishments will be endless. All of the obstacles that we have encountered and come face to face with during our high school journey, just proved how determined we were to reach our goal of graduation. To add to the long list of firsts I would like to be one of the first people to wish Conolons first class of the new millennium congratulations. Congratulations class of 2006
