735 Words3 Pages

Welcome classmates and their friends and family. Today we have all gathered here to celebrate the graduation of the 8th-grade students of Union Heights School. After many trials and hardships, we have finally been able to advance past our middle school years to our new high school lives.

We all owe us being here to at least one person, and for me those people are my teachers, Mrs. Peggy, Mrs. Denney, and Mrs. Woodard, Mrs. Doolittle, Mrs. Corrinne, Mrs. McCall, Mrs., Hassel, Mrs. Ashley, the Principal Mrs. Kittrel, and most of all my friends and family who have supported me through this journey. On behalf of the class of 2018 of Union Heights, I would like to thank everyone who has helped us on our path to success.

So high school, we knew …show more content…

What I wish to convey to you all is just some help for what will chase us all in the near future. One simple piece of advice to help us all is to be at school. You might now be thinking “Well that’s pretty obvious,” but I do not just mean for you to be there physically, what I am really emphasizing is for your head to be there. I cannot begin to tell you just how many times I have daydreamed in the middle of class and to made up for it the following days by spending my free time playing catch up with those who did pay …show more content…

We have to sit through more lectures and learn countless things to inevitably be prepared to handle the world on our own. Let us face it guys, we are growing up. While that thought may excite some of you with the promise of cars, your own homes, and freedom, I would prefer to stay a kid. Be able to come home and just play video games and only have to worry about some chores and homework, but as adults, we have much more on our plates. I can guarantee that most of the adults present here would love to be a kid again if only temporary, but in today’s society, we cannot afford to stay a kid forever. That is precisely why we have schools, to prepare us for the challenges we will have to face one day. I will not sugarcoat it, there just is not a way to escape our fate. That is we have to prepare, that is we need to work our butts off in order to make that inevitable truth as easy to handle as possible. Whether you decide to become a doctor, a teacher, a model, an athlete, or whatever, you will have to work hard to not only achieve your goal but also succeed in life in

Students in high school already are expected so much of. Having at least 6 other classes and those worries on their mind. Kids don’t have the time to be able to look up everything they don’t know. Things that frustrate students and put them off are being forced to do so much outside of class and having to look

The 2016 spring commencement speech given by Quint Studer, he was a student who struggled in high school due to having both a speech impediment and being hard of hearing. But, he was able to make it through high school and college thanks to the people he encountered in his life that helped him. The “pebble in the pond” theory as explained by Quint Studer is the ideology that you indeed do have an impact on many of the people you come in contact with during life. For example, he mentioned a teacher he had in the 6th grade. This teacher knew that Studer had a problems preventing learning so he moved his desk next to Studer, allowing him to be able to give him the extra helping hand, without being obvious.

The atmosphere of Schoenfeld Campus Gym had been electrifying Thursday afternoon. The Fall Homecoming Pep Rally included numerous activities for Concordia’s sports team to partake in. For example, one “challenge” involved a member of the sports team getting wrapped up in toilet paper, under the pressure of a time clock. When time ran out, whichever individual was wrapped in the most toilet paper (or looked the most like they had just emerged from an Egyptian pyramid) won that game. The CCNY Pep Rally acted as an opportunity for the rest of the student body to become familiar with our famed athletic program, and to mingle with this elite status of the student.

No matter where we go remember that we don’t have to follow the crowd. We need to keep working hard to do the right thing, even if no one is looking. While it may not always be fun, try to study hard and remember that we are always investing in our future with every test we take, book we read, paper we write, choice we make, and every friend we

Although officers claim they aren’t as unprofessional as everyone says, many people beg to differ. A lot of people have evidence on how they were mistreated, and how the officers weren’t at all professional. Others have been killed and seriously injured, but the idea is still up in the air after several years. To protect themselves, and others around them, police officers should be forced to wear body cameras while they’re in a case or are talking to a suspect while on duty. Having to wear body cameras would be a positive way to help the authorities to see the truth better than just having to listen to the voice recorder.

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.

Marching band; copious amounts of people scoff at the sound of those words. I often hear students commenting on how easy marching band is, how we don’t train like the football players do. At Anderson High School, that’s not the case, the marching band trains for just as long. As a band of over 125 individuals, it takes determination, pride, and confidence to achieve the goals we have set forth to accomplish. As a leader of the saxophone section, I know what it’s like to face failure, to overcome and turn it into success and to march on with confidence.

Good afternoon, I 'm a Spotsy Sophomore, and I was in CGS until about three months ago. At the time, my best friend had just recently passed away and I was dealing with a lot of stress and sadness as a result. I had no motivation or desire to do normal everyday things, let alone homework. My grades slipped. Against the advice of my teachers, I left the program and went to Spotsy full-time.

I chose the quote “Walk the street with us into history. Get off the sidewalk.” -Dolores Huerta because I believe that people should take action and use their voices as opposed to just going about your day and lives waiting for those who are shaping and evolving history, even life itself. It is essential for everyone to use the power of their voices to state their beliefs and opinion to form the type of community, country, and world in which they want to prosper in.

Lone Star High School is a location where students can feel secure and have many opportunities to showcase their skills and leadership qualities. Our campus is built upon five figurative pillars; Integrity, Strength, Stewardship, Loyalty and Perseverance. These pillars are what make us the admirable school that we are today. I believe everyone of our students must have these five qualities in order to ensure success now and later on in the future. As a student I believe that for one to have integrity they must show signs of righteous ethical morals.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to possibly be a part of National Junior Honor Society. I would appreciate being able to be a part of this group to help better the school and it’s environment for people that work there. This would give me a chance to give back to the school district that has gotten me where I am today and has taught me so much. Scholarship, leadership, character, service, and citizenship are qualities not normally seen in every child today and are big shoes to fill.
