Graduation Speech :: Graduation Speech, Commencement Address

Hi, my name is Mary Smith, and I want to delicious you all to the County postgraduate School graduation ceremony this evening. I came to County High School four years ago. As soon as I walked onto the campus I knew it was the right place for me. In fact if I were to run CHS in one word it would be family. Everyone hither, students and staff, are the most understanding, validatory and encouraging group of people you could find. It is because of my family that I am graduating to sidereal day. My journey to this day has been filled with many challenges. I dropped out of condition thinking that I did not need a high school diploma to follow out the things I wanted in life. That was a mistake. Finding myself behind in credits, I enrolled in FAHS hoping to get back on track. The foundation for winner was here. But soon after, I became pregnant and left school again. I was able to return to school because of the daycare at FAHS. I was more than motivated this time around to find my vision of graduating. But my roadway took another unexpected turn leaving me a teen mammary gland now to two. Once again with the help of the FAHS daycare I returned to school With the support of my family my dream is becoming a reality. All of the other students here have stories of their own to tell. Stories of what brought them to FAHS, stories of what kept them here and stories of the obstacles they have had to overcome in their lives. They are about tragedy and triumph, success and failure and of will and tendency to follow their dreams. It has been the dream of each and every student here tonight to graduate and that dream is finally coming true. To my fellow graduates, I promote you to continue to dream big. Whatever your goal is in life - dream to the next level. Believe me when I tell you that you can go farther than you think you can go. People who fail to dream do so because they cannot believe their dreams will come true. Never stop dreaming. James dean once said, Dream as if youll live forever. Live as if youll give off today. On behalf of my fellow graduates, I would like to extend a supererogatory thanks to the staff at FAHS. You had so much faith in all of us.
