Graduation Speech: We Are the Future :: Graduation Speech, Commencement Address

Today is our first day of being the leaders, doers, and problem solvers of the future. Those who persevere, who give it their all and approach each day with optimism will in conclusion meet success and happiness. Of course, there will be many a failure on that windy road of life, but with dedication, we can do anything and recognise any dream come true. But, as we grow older and encounter success, we must not forget those who down had it rough, whose lives may have hit virtually potholes on the way, and we must take care of those who need a helping hand. As each of us leaves our mark on the world, be generous and be happy, and always cogitate the good eras, good friends, and lessons knowledgeable at Marefat.Being Marefats first graduating class to complete all four years, one can recount weve acquired a higher level of school wisdom than any previous class. Weve formed traditions, weve set records, and weve made a lot of friends along the way. I remember our f reshman year when we could use the excuse of being a new school for every shortcoming we encountered. I remember our sophomore year, the last time I cleaned my bedroom, when Marefat had its first senior class, and the school seemed to shrink for some reason. Last year we were the juniors, and we conquered the SAT tests And made it through those busy days where you hadnt quite fix room in your schedule to pencil in a bathroom break, dinner or sleep. Well, this year we were the kings and queens, there was Star Wars, Starbucks, and a certain football game team lost its winning streak to the mighty Knights. Looking back we can see our accomplishments and the marks we made. Now, we must take all that we have learned in our years at Marefat and apply it to our future. Just as we have set traditions here, we must enter the world ready to tackle new problems and extend out new solutions. We are the ones who can break all of those records that have been set, and have our names etched in h istory. Its our turn -- the world is ours and we just have to decide what we want to do with it.Throughout our successful lives, though, we cant forget those who struggle and we cant forget to take care of our families and community.
