Kindness: A Commencement Speech

The Kenyon Commencement Speech After we graduate from high school the most common thought that we have is going into the adult world. Some of us don’t even have a clue on what the real world is about. It’s not all about testes, quizzes or exam; it’s either we get or we don’t. This speech is basically about the decision we make in our lives and we act on these decisions.

The train is on it’s way to the Dalles, we just left Whitman Mission about three days ago. John Adams has said that there are two ways to finish off the trip. WE can either float down on the Dalles or was can go around Mt. Hood on Barlow Road. I’m sure this decision will cause more controversy within the group.

Hey students of Mission Viejo High School! My name is Joanna Gomez and today, I am asking for your vote for Sophomore Vice President. My main goal as a Sophomore Vice President is to try to make Mission Viejo High School the best place to learn while having fun. Mission Viejo High School is such a special place. It 's not just where we come to learn, but where we make new friends and create new experiences and memories. After all, our time here is limited and I want to be part of making these short four years full of exciting and great moments we will all remember. By keeping our school clean, and getting involved to do community service, I believe that school should be fun together with our fellow classmates and friends by helping do things

It was great seeing you at the regional convention in Chicago. I wanted to inform you the Xi Alpha Chapter will not able to attend the national convention in Baltimore, MD. The chapter will only have one member at the end of the semester due the fact brothers will all be graduating.

I am a student in DVBS, and I often need to explain my school repeatedly. Although it was sometimes uncomfortable for me to describe my “no-name” school, I am proud to be a student in Developing Virtue Boys School. Believe it or not, an organization with several wealthy and powerful figures, including Obama's previous lawyer, once gave a lecture in my school about their realization in kindness. They explained how kindness could help students become successful in the future. However, they didn't know that kindness was one practice students in DVBS learned everyday. My school had taught me things that many adults just learned when they grew up. Without DVBS, I would have remained to be a selfish, arrogant teenager who would abandon myself whenever a problem occurs.

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. They must be able to differentiate right from wrong. It’s very important for me to know that the people around me as well have integrity, so I could be able to trust them, just as they should be

I have felt that I have experienced impact of kindness in the Fairview community I live in, by working with the autistic kids in the elementary school. I have not only felt like I have shown kindness to these kids but in return, I have seen these kids show kindness back.

A dream so common and so simple yet at times it can prove to be difficult to make it a reality,

Have you ever wondered how the power of kindness helps? Why are people so nice to someone that treats them awful, no matter how they feel they still show people their kindness. The three things about the power of kindness, and they are people of this generation are cold hearted, in need of kind people and what to do to receive and give kindness. Like in “A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the old man was kind because he didn't mine that he was chained up like an animal and was treated awful, people would throw stuff at him, even burned him. Pelayo and Elivanda were the ones that made money of the poor old man because the people in their town thought the old man was an angel and thought it would blessed them or give

What does it mean to be kind? Kindness is a choice, it’s something you can choose to “put on” everyday. Kindness is love in action, it is something that you do, it’s a practical expression of love. It’s visible and active, not just emotional.

Kindness can give and receive in many different ways. It can eigther make us happy happy or make somebody angry and cause a problem that was not worth it. “Professor Sonja Lyubomirsky from the University of California asked participants in the study to preform random act of kindness over ten weeks. She found happiness increased with people who preformed a wide variety of kind acts over people who preformed one act of kindness repeatedly.” (Buckis)

It only takes a little bit of kindness to start a chain of change in this world.

First of all, please don't forget to bring your respective marketing materials for display. We will have lots of LSCD materials on hand, including folders with Speaker Sheets that Alix did on each of you. From what I understand, attendance is at about 100. Please arrive by 6 to get set up. Joyce Sixsmith and Matthew Maddox run the Ram Council, so look for them if you need help.

The power of kindness is often times something society underestimates. I believe the power of kindness is undeniable and unfathomable, and grasping this concept can seem almost impossible. One cannot begin to truly fathom the power of kindness until they witness it firsthand.
