Graduation Speech: The Climb :: Graduation Speech, Commencement Address

Good evening family, friends, teachers and fellow graduates. This special shadow marks our motion all over the past thirteen days. Tonight we come to the top of a mountain in our lives and look ahead to the numerous more to come. It seems want only when yesterday we were eighth graders in nerve centre school, wishing we were ordinal graders in towering school. (You have to remember that back then we didnt complete if a freshman meant you were in twelfth grade or if a junior meant you were in ninth.) Weve definitely come a long expression to be where we are today. Being students at Wilson, The School of Pride, has helped us both with our climb over Mt. Education. Learning the basics to climb Mt. Education didnt just start in high school it began a long, long magazine ago. Our beginning experience with the climb started out in our six years of base camp, formally known as elementary school. The next coiffure in our climb was when we were able to climb the part of the mount ain with the dark slope. The smooth slope of the mountain took us a whole third years to accomplish. As you have probably guessed, the gentle slope was middle school. These were the steps we took to get to our third stage in our climb of reaching the peak of Mt. Education, also known as high school. It all began at freshmen orientation when we learned just how much control we would have over our educations here at Wilson. We also discovered that we not only would be choosing the classes we took, but the teachers as well. Next, from a chant that was yelled at us from the seniors in our first ginger assembly, we learned that seniors do rule the school. During the pep assemblies we also learned how to show our school pride and spirit. Overall, in our first year here at CHS we encountered umteen faculty members and students that would help us on our journey up the mountain of education. Throughout our years of high school we have perfected our methods of climbing Mt. Education throu gh experiencing many first times together. To start things off there was the first Friday night varsity football game at the stadium. We also had dances that were actually cool it like homecomings and tolos. We even experienced many new things in the schoolroom such as writing research papers, taking extremely rocky tests and learning a foreign language.
