Graduation Speech: We Rule the World :: Graduation Speech, Commencement Address

We did it We started from essentially nothing, a cold, boring piece of school territorial dominion land and built it into a high school. Not just any high school, but our high school. Without standards and traditions to follow or be guided by, we shape the halls of Private High School into something special.Now Im true that every senior class from Oshkosh, Wisconsin to Boring, Oregon to F propagatebanks, Alaska to Beverly Hills, California feels that they really make a difference. And granted Im sure many of them did. But I challenge any of them to start from what we did and build one of the most highly regarded high schools in the state.Weve played for the President of the coupled States, weve stopped 51-game winning streaks, and weve built a robot. We have broken into post season play, won numerous debate awards, and ventured to the studios of Hollywood. We have gained respect by earning it. The administration, teachers, and another(prenominal) classes contributed immensely to this respectability, but no one has gone through what the Senior Class of 2012 has.We didnt think anything was different when teachers were handing out detentions, aka pink slips, like candy. We had just devolve from Junior High and didnt know anything different. When in that location were no wins and subsequently no spirit, we didnt realize that wasnt high school. Yet something told us that there had to be more. When we traveled to schools such(prenominal) as Cascade and Blanchet and saw what high school was supposed to be, a glimpse into what we might became was gained. And still what it was supposed to be wasnt what it ought to be, and definitely not what we precious it to be.By growing from our innocent beginnings, everyone from the typical computer nerd to the all American jock, albeit many unknowingly and others certainly unadmittingly, share a common bond. A unique feeling of care for one another that will never diminish. It is truly amazing that in such a large group of i ndividuals there is a oneness, a love, for each other that can never be broken. It is a wonderful feeling that youve got a friend.It is this feeling, this love, that we now must take into a world of chaos. A world where wages are low and prices are high. There is more crime, more hatred, and more lethal weapons than ever before. We have nuclear, chemical, water, and air pollutions of all kinds.
