Graduation Speech

      Hello and welcome parents, family members and class of 2017 and thank you for joining us on this memorable day. I´d like to thank you for coming here as we celebrate one of the many milestones and accomplishments we will have in our lives. I would like to thank all of our teachers for helping us get to where we are today, because without them we would not be as great as we are today. Also a thank you for all family members and friends for helping your child or friend overcome obstacles that we might needed help on whether it be homework or a friendship we all need the support.
      I've know most of you since kindergarten and others just came along and have stuck with us till this point no matter what you all had an impact on each other whether it be good or bad, and it all started in 5th grade when we just got into this new school and we were the smallest you would see these big 7th and 8th graders and say to yourself that's gonna be us one day and eventually it was as we are here today and once again the biggest kids in school just like 4th grade and now we start all over again at the bottom and build our way up. Honestly from 5th grade we have grown physically and mentally.
      All the year we've had at Golf has just been gone in a blink of an eye and this year flew by fast and it's hard to believe that it's our time and we have to leave already, this year alone has been one of the best with all the sports, and Camp McLean, also the holocaust museum, and feed my starving children and the ABC count down. Every year has it's own feature but this year has been the best and I'm really going to miss walking down the hallways saying hi to all our staff and passing through the halls as the oldest and biggest kids.
      For many years we have seen all the 8th graders do all these special things and now its our turn like the faculty game where the students play the teachers in a game of basketball game and honestly it was much closer and fun than I thought it would be. As we played you see the whole school watching and you think wow and it gets really loud and it is really cool and hyped. As we transition to high school we look forward to joining sports teams getting into the honor and AP classes and even if we don't make it one day we will exceed in something and reach our breaking point.
      I would like to thank you for coming and a last thank you to all the teachers helping us to where we are today. But know it is our turn to take responsibility grow up and take control of our lives. Good luck to everyone in the future and hopefully everyone will push each other to be the best of what we can be thank you and good luck class of 2017.
