Graduation Speech: Mr. Peat The Frog
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen I would like to thank you all for coming to represent Mr. Peat the frog today. For today, we mourn a misunderstood friend. Just a few days ago, Peat the Frog shimmied off this mortal coil and hopped up to the big lily pad in the sky. Unfortunately, there’re currently chanting and carrying disgusting images outside this very funeral parlor, but let us try to drown out their hatred with our love. Though Mr. Peat fought bravely and happily, he lost his years, but take heart, for he passed while smoking an epic spliff, surrounded by his friends Andy, Aden, and Lundon, all of whom were kind enough to join us …show more content…
He was 12 years old, but in frog years, he in his early 20s. We weep for him, and at this point in the service, I invite you all to fulfill Pepe’s wishes by sparking up the joints we have provided for all of you. For those of you who didn’t know Peat as well as some of us did, I’ll provide a bit of biography for you.

Graduation Speech: Marching Band

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.

Commencement Speech 'This Is Water' By David Foster Wallace
1070 Words | 5 PagesThe Unusual Message Reading the commencement speech “This is Water”, written and delivered by David Foster Wallace to students and their families at Kenyon College was nothing like what I was expecting it to be. I can imagine the listeners that were present were just as shocked as I was when they finally grasped the message he was presenting to them that day. Normally when someone delivers a commencement speech to students graduating, it's more along the lines of “be all that you can be” or “You can do it” with emphasis on the word “you.” No one really tells you to think of others first at that point in your lives. However, Wallace did just that.
