Graduation Speech Greetings Class of 2017. We did it. We are finally graduating. We have only arrived here 3 years ago and now it is already time to leave. It has been long 3 years and a short for years. Long because of all the homework, tiring projects, boring readings, difficult tests and waking up early in the morning. Short because of the lifelong friendships, the lasting memories, and the truly interesting and amazing things weve learned. Good or bad, long or short. I will always remember this place. I remember being a freshman and thinking how long high school would be, but the thing is I remember thinking about that as if it was last week. Can you believe it? 3 years ago, we were the freshmen, figuring out how high school works, looking clueless to all upper classmen. And now we are the upper classmen. The seniors who stand here ready to graduate and move forward to the world. Whats next? I will be going to college, as will many of my classmates. Others may get right to work, or even take a year more off to decide what they want to do. We dont know what the world has in store for any of us. I do know Ill deal with those life events though, by using the skills and information Ive received here. Ive got plenty of people to thank for especially God, my parents, teachers and friends. What I learned in high school is to lean on others when needed. Theres another more important side to that idea as well, and its the one piece of advice Id like to give you as we get ready to cross this stage for the last time. Make sure youre around when other people need someone to lean on. Theyll thank you for it. They might even mention you in his or her valedictorian speech! Before I end this speech, I want to wish each and every one of you success in whatever you choose to pursue. I will not likely to see many of the people at my graduation again. I cant wait to work with class of 2017 graduates one day. I know that even though others dont believe so. I know that we are going to do great things and I couldnt be more thrilled. So, class of 2017, lets make the best of it, and lets start all over again. Its a brave new world out there and if anyone can make the best of it, we can.
