Graduation Speech

     Hello fellow classmates, friends,and family. We have all gathered here to celebrate the graduation of the Class of 2016. We have had our ups and we have had our downs. We have laughed and we have cried.  We have all changed into better people ever since we walked through that big door in kindergarten when we were small. We were all scared and disorganized when we got there but we got the hang of it because we helped each other. With the help of our teachers, friends, and family we are not scared and disorganized anymore but are now prepared for what is next for us.
     We were small when we entered kindergarten and didn't know each other. We started to talk and get to know each other. Soon we all had friends. These friends have had our backs since we were little and will still have our backs as we go on to high school. What I'm trying to say is that friendship is important and that's what has helped me a lot. Here in Golf Middle School I have made some really good friends and they have helped me become the person I am today. They have helped me when I've had a bad day and they have helped me study for a test. Here in Golf you can make great friends.
      Everything in Middle School has been great but now I'm going to a bigger, new school. Golf is a smaller school and the teachers are behind you do do your best. They've been preparing us for high school. In high school you have all the responsibility and you won't have someone to push you to do your work. I would like to appreciate the teachers who have taught me and pushed me to do my best.
      As I was saying, high school will be a bigger place. Other schools will go to Niles North. I might not have any of my friends in my classes. I will be sad but there's a lot of new people I will get the chance to meet. My friends from Golf will still be my friends from Golf and that won't change. We will still be able to go to each other's houses and hang out. I don't want to lose my friends that have had my back for 6 years.
      I would like to thank Golf for the awesome events. From Camp McLean to the picnics we had all of our years. I have had some great times and now it's time to say hello to a new beginning. Thank you Golf.
