Speech

Us, 8th graders of 2009 are graduating to high school.
To become someone? Yes.
To start our journey on getting steps closer to the future? Yes.
To praise for our accomplishments? Yes
To learn from our mistakes? Yes.
To improve our weaknesses? Yes.

Out of the two years of Jr. High school, all of us, learned something new.
May not be school education.
May not be friendship.
May not be discipline.
May not be family.
But we all have learned something new.

We have come a long way now. Two years ago we were in Elementary school, calling them; big kids. Now our parents call us teenagers. Soon we will be called minors. And after that? Adults. Taking it serious, is the next level of maturity. Us 8th graders probably all despise school, but now we must accept it as a path to freedom. But before we get to put that key into it's door, we must complete our years of high school.
I'm ready.

I have learned so much out of the year. We all have. We all changed and became somebody we didn't think we would turn out to be. You may change in high school. You may become alike somebody you don't like. The future is ahead of us, you don't know what's coming.

Our friends; They are the people you survive with through the years of school. They are the people you lean on when issues disrupt living. They are the people that come and go, but only a few stay with you forever. Keep close friends, ones that respect you, care for you, and are there for you in time of need. You never know which friends may end up being your enemy. We have learned- who our good friends are.

I am looking forward to my years of high school.
I am looking forward to making new friends.
I am looking forward to new classes, different teachers, and a new school.
I am looking forward to the future.
Everything ahead of us awaits to be lived.

Let's live it.
