959 Words4 Pages

Good Morning fellow graduates, faculty, family, and friends. I would like to welcome you to the Spring 2024 commencement for the Mary Frances Early College of Education. Thank you for joining us today to celebrate the extraordinary accomplishments of the class of 2024! I would first like to thank my wonderful family who helped guide me through this journey. I would like to extend extra gratitude to my mother, who would always listen to my wild student teaching stories (like when I was in charge of entertaining 30 rambunctious pre-k students on a rainy day and truly contemplated my career choice), who would give me advice when I became overwhelmed with assignments, and most of all sacrificed so much so that I could continue my education and pursue my …show more content…

I also would like to thank all of the faculty and staff who have educated me on all things teaching. While I may not have always been enthusiastic about the papers and 15 page lesson plans, I have grown my knowledge and feel well equipped to step into the classroom due to their expertise. I would also like to thank the College of Education Ambassador program, for giving me an outlet to become involved with this college and create many professional and personal connections. Lastly, I would like to thank every mentor, teacher and student I have had while in the elementary education program. Being out in the field has taught me way more than just how to be a teacher. These kids have shown me how to appreciate life and the little things. They have shown me how to let things just roll off my back and be calm, even if it is difficult to do so. Many of these kids are stronger than I think I could ever be, and I wish they realized just how much they inspired me. When I look at the group of graduates before me, I am in awe when I think of the perseverance and strength we

In her “Commencement Speech at Mount Holyoke College”, Anna Quindlen employs personal anecdotes and her academic background to effectively build her credibility. Quindlen explains how her strive for perfection in her younger years only served to add needless parasitic pressure. She claims that “being perfect day after day, year after year, became like always carrying a backpack filled with bricks on my back” (Quindlen 1). Drawing from her personal experiences, Quindlen challenges her audience to “give up the backpack”. By building a strong connection through shared hardship, Quindlen appears as an authority on defying conformity to discover one’s own individuality.

Even though it went by quickly for you, it felt like an eternity for us, until we got onto this stage today. I remember watching this ceremony as a fifth grader, and never knowing how quickly we would be on the same stage. Now we are on stage, graduating as 8th graders to continue our education onto high school and eventually college. After walking out of those doors tonight, we will begin a new chapter in our lives.

First, to the those who have made this night possible. I, and all the other graduates sitting here tonight would like to thank the Winton Woods High School Administration, Counselors, Teachers, as well as those from around the district, including the Winton Woods School District Board of Education and Superintendent for the countless nights that they invested in us over the past 13 years. While many times it felt like you were being unreasonable and much harder than necessary, we can see now, your persistent nature was borne from your unadulterated passion to ameliorate our lives for decades to come. Second, on behalf of the Winton Woods Class of 2017, we would all like to extend our deepest appreciation to the friends and family in attendance tonight.

Greetings class of 2018. Today at this promotional ceremony, is the day where we move from being students of Jane Addams to freshman of BHS. We get these pieces of paper from the school recognizing this fact, and then we’re kicked out of middle school for good. Today is the day where we get to thank the principal, Ms. Polson, the vice principal, Ms. Zdonek, the teachers, and the staff of Jane Addams for helping us and teaching us lessons that would help us get not only here, but survive high school. Thank you to the superintendent, as well as the school board for keeping this school running and changing it every single year.

I feel very grateful to have attended a school with such incredible and caring teachers and staff. Their passion and love for teaching and commitment to their students has truly made a lasting impact on my life. Not only did they provide me with an excellent education, but they also went above and beyond to support and encourage me throughout my academic journey. They were not afraid to answer questions I had, and were willing to do anything for me to succeed. Because of them, I was able to form lifelong friendships with classmates who share similar interests and goals.

I wish to thank everyone for coming out here today: proud parents and grandparents, friends, faculty, maybe some highly confused great grandparents, and a whole lot of hung over college kids. I realize that being asked to speak at commencement is not only a great honor, but also a task that brings with it a certain amount of responsibility. I have racked my brain and heart prior to coming before you today, wanting to say something that was real, something that would actually hold true meaning to the Hobart and William Smith class of 2017; my classmates, my future colleagues and connections, my friends. I figured, why not start with the truth? I did not plan on attending Hobart and William Smith Colleges; in fact it was not really on my radar

Congratulations to the class of 2016, we have been on a long journey to get here today! We each came to Walden for different reasons yet we find ourselves with a common goal to make the world a better place one child at a time. We do this through our vision, mission and expectations created within ourselves and our University. We have achieved so much and will continue to do so after graduation because of the passion and drive we carry within each of us to make education better for every child.

This year is important for me; now, I am a senior In Mercy College. I remember being a freshman and not understanding the idea of what life was outside high school. The transition was scary because I had to start over again; however, the experience was worthwhile. I am grateful for Mercy College for providing me with the scholarships that I needed to further my education. I hope to own my practice as a psychologist and I am here to thank my mother for supporting my decision.

First of all, the speaker is Mary Fisher, someone who is HIV positive. Since she is HIV positive, she can speak on the effects of HIV on a very personal and emotional level. She uses her unfortunate circumstances as a platform to spread awareness. “I would have never asked to be HIV positive, but I believe that in all things there is a purpose; and I stand before you and this nation gladly” (Fisher). Fisher also does not fit the stereotype of HIV and AIDS victims.

We learned that even if you look like you have it all going for you, most of the time there is something deep within someone that others don’t know. I didn’t know that our Student Council president who graduated with a 4.0 who was also our star football player, star hockey player, and even state champion in two sports, football and track, still feels that his father isn’t proud of him. It 's depressing that we waited almost 12 years to find out each other 's hardships, at that point it was too late to fully help each other out. With all of the time I spent in school, attending class, co-curricular events, and even volunteering with my peers. I am proud to say that I am a St. Mary’s Springs Academy alumnus.
