Graduation Speech 2002 Ladies and Gentlemen, Good evening. One has so many thoughts and ideas to discuss and talk about, but they all evaporate when one needs them. This is what happened to me when I started thinking about my speech then materializing it on paper. We’ve been a lot together and I hope our class can stay in touch as we move off in our different directions. Starting as a bunch of confused graduates we hope this world would achieve our dream. While I am overjoyed to be graduating, it is difficult knowing it might be a long time before I see some of you again. Places, times and people will change and we’ll have to keep adapting. It’s what makes life interesting, and challenging too. Keep in mind that each of you is only one person in a society of four and a half million people. Everything you do affects those around you, so consider your actions first. Don’t forget that you’re not alone if things are looking bad you’ll always have friends to help you through them. Not only have our experiences with high school taught us how to survive academically, but they have also taught us a little bit about life, morality, friendship and ourselves. We each have a responsibility to society, to our friends and above all to ourselves to carry these principles with us, using them to shape and create our own lives. Through whatever lies ahead, we will be able to cherish the memories close to our hearts, and we’ll always be grateful that we were able to spend this special time together, sharing a little bit of ourselves with each other. Each and everyone of us will someday be able to look back and remember how our time in high school developed our personalities, and prepared us to deal with life’s many obstacles. Thank you all and I’d like to wish everyone good luck in the future.
