Commencement Speech 2014
You have been asked to speak at a graduation ceremony next Friday. However, it is not for High School West. You have been asked to speak at the 8th grade moving-up ceremony at one of Smithtown’s middle schools.
Your comments will be brief (1-2 typed pages, 12 pt. Times New Roman), but you should address your audience by talking about their present lives, their future hopes, their dreams, their misconceptions, etc…
You are a valued speaker to this audience because you’ve lived the last four years as a high school student, and you know how you’ve changed since that last day of 8th grade. You know better than anyone the ups and downs that await the senior class of 2018.
Use your personality to make this an informed, insightful, humorous, and memorable speech. Don't let the kids down.
