I would like to welcome everybody once again, thank-you for coming family, friends, teachers and graduating class of 2010. Tonight we gather here, at Holy Family Community Church for the celebration and graduation of the St. Jerome grade 8 class of 2010. This will be our last few days at St. Jerome as a class and we will all be moving on to high school.
When I think back on the five years I檝e spent at our school, many things come to my mind. But it檚 only all of the things I檝e learned in class, but also the friends I檝e made and the life lessons I檝e learned. The main point of elementary school is to prepare us for high school and fill us will all the education they can, and our school has done just that and even more. All of the graduates have grown so much through out elementary school, and we are ready for our next challenge. Our school has been like a bridge across an ocean, out faculty have always been there for us.
Through all of the happy, sad, funny, and even the most embarrassing moments at St. Jerome, we have so learned many things through out that will help us now and later in life. All of these experiences have helped to make us who we are today and who we will be in the future. We have shared so many tears and laughs, and the friendships we檝e made are the kind that will last to the end. I learned something new every day, whether it was from one of my teachers, all the teachers or another student. That檚 one of the great things about our school; we learned just as much from each other as we did from everyone of our teachers.
We have worked very, very hard to get here, and have had to go through very many changes. Our schedule changed almost every year and then back to what it had originally been in 5th grade. And although some of these changes were not the best points of our elementary school career, like in 1st grade when we had to memorize all our times tables, all of these changes have helped so much to prepare everyone of us for this massive change from elementary school students in to high school students.
Even though classes could sometimes be hard, boring and usually tiring, we were all pretty sure it was necessary to pay as much attention as we could and study lots to be the best students we could possibly be. Besides all the tests, quizzes, and tons of boring lectures, we have had a lot of fun these past years. We have been on a lot of fun class and school trips, like cross country skiing, downhill skiing and all of the school dances. Also, many of the projects we did were quite fun, like the Battle of the Books in seventh grade and the create-your-own-toy project that many of us did in grade seven with Mrs. Ratcliffe and we will never forget the Mr. Beans movies. Elementary school has been an amazing adventure, almost like a roller coaster, and I know most of you agree.
The past years seemed to go by very fast, and I can檛 believe we are already graduating and going to high school. It seemed like just last week I was a scared kindergartener coming to our school for the first time, grabbing my moms leg and being at the bottom of the food chain, not having any idea of what kind people would be there, what elementary school would be like. I didn檛 know if I would make any friends or if I could find any of my classes. Now, we檙e all much more confident in ourselves and are ready to enter high school and be at the bottom of the food chain again but be able to have a positive attitude and feeling sure of ourselves.
Congratulations class of 2010, we have come so far together to get here, some of it was a struggle, like dodging all the rumors and fights with our friends, lying to our teachers as to why we couldn檛 finish our homework or bring it in on time because you were out partying too late. On the other hand, there were the proud moments, like when you didn檛 get a bad report card, or when you got 100% on that one test. It will be hard to forget all those moments, so lets try to remember them, cherish them, and laugh at the embarrassing ones.
and could you help me make an ending sentance?How is my valedictorian speech?Hmm... In the first paragraph:
In the opening you're being redundant by saying thank you for coming twice so maybe your speech would better benefit without that
In the second paragraph:
When you say %26quot; But it檚 only all of the things I檝e learned in class%26quot; it should be %26quot;But it's not only...%26quot;
I enjoy your speech, it's very heartfelt : 3How is my valedictorian speech?Please change your speech it's not fair to plagiarize something I wrote. It isn't heartfelt because it's from my heart not yours! Please change it I spent a long time on my speech and it isn't fair for you to steal it.
