Ceremonial Manuscript: Graduation Speech
Speech 102
Anne Sears
Good afternoon⦠and congratulations to the graduating class of 2010. I'm humbled and honored to stand here today, one of the most special days of my life, so far. Standing before of you on this day, reminds me of my 8th grade graduation. I sat on the stage listening to three of my peers giving beautiful speeches that had nothing to do with any of the feelings I felt. The speakers harped on the nostalgia of leaving a school they had been at for nine years; I had only been there for three. They spoke on how they would miss seeing the same faces every day and that they feared the days ahead, however, I was excited. When I thought about my future I saw all the things waiting for me to come and try. I saw the new friends I would make, the papers I would write, the softball games I would win, the clubs and activities I would join, the boy who would be my first kiss, and the wonderful people I would meet, who would inspire me more than I realized at the time.
