Graduation Speech -- Graduation Speech, Commencement Address

I did not get to know many of you. So, I cannot be certain of how you feel, but, as for me, this year has been, by far, the or so pleasurable and eye opening one of my high school career. Enjoyable because of the innovative, fire friends Ive made and of the fun times Ive had, and eye opening because of my being compel to look towards the future. not just day dreaming and imagining about the catch ones breath of my life, but finally having to sit down and make some defined decisions concerning it. For me and many of you, colleges have had to be applied for and decided on and scholarships make full out. Some of you have been looking into vocational schools or the military, succession others impart be going straight into the work force. What ever so your case whitethorn be, weve all had one thing in common in that weve been cookery for our futures. Since the decisions we make now or soon will impact the sojourn of our lives, Id like to take this time to share some advice wit h you all. The most measurable advice I believe I can share is to do what you trust to do. Dont be pressured into some life career because its the most respectable or because it would make your family the proudest. Happiness is the sterling(prenominal) goal in life and is self-contained. The merriment of others will not satisfy you in the long run. If your fondest wish is to break an Atlantic Puffin breeder in northern Maine, then go for it. Dont give up anyone or anything to stop you. Also, many of you must fully realize how a lot time of your life a job will take up. Not just working, but preparing for it and the thought that will go towards it daily. In fact, for most of you, your life will revolve around your job. Where you live, who you see everyday, will loosely be dependent upon the job you choose... ... So, dont think that just because youre not jump college right away or not going to college at all, that youre wince to not get what you want out of life. It takes work, but, if youre determined enough, you can usually achieve your goals. Though you cannot expect to achieve all the goals you set for yourself, dont ever be afraid to at least undertake. Failure is one of the greatest ways to learn in that although you have failed, the new experiences you have gained while trying to achieve your goal will make you aware of new possibilities and allow you to form new goals for yourself. So remember, dont conform into exactly what confederation wants you to be. Do what you want to do. And if you dont know what that is already, find out. Dont be afraid to try different things. Be a risk taker. Live your lives for all theyre deserving because they wont last forever
