Teachers, parents, my peers, I welcome you, this fine morning. In addition, I want to congratulate all of my peers because today we graduate and move on to high school. Additionally I want to say that It’s an honor for me to deliver this speech for all of you, on a day that we will all remember, especially me. Not to mention, that today is a joyful day, and just like Joseph B. Wirthlin said ¨ Some memories are unforgetable, remaining ever vivid, and heartwarming¨ and if you did not realize it yet, this memory is under that category.
Western Experience
I want to confess, that my experience at Western has exceeded my expectations. Therefore graduating today makes me reflect back on these 3 years, and how my experience here at Western has changed me personally, because before I got to Western I did not care much for school and only saw it as a type of punishment, as most of us do. But as I got to 8th grade I saw what I did not see before, and I saw an opportunity, an opportunity to make my life better, and opportunity to succeed in life, so when I realized of

Wirthlin he said ¨ Some memories are unforgetable, remaining ever vivid, and heartwarming¨. Now I want you to remember this quote because this is what this is, this will be a memory you will never forget, I mean come on how is anybody going to forget our wonderful teachers, like Ms.Ford, Mr.Jones, Ms.Stabile or Mr.Crawford to name a few. As well as many others who have helped us learn so much, and at the same time we have also given them a gift as they have given us which is we made them laugh, with are failures, which were funny because we failed. So I just want to say personally that I will never forget my time at Western because it is now a part of who I am, and I hope you none of you will forgot
The Western United States was founded upon several layers of political, economic, and social causes that started the Western movement. The passages from John Barr’s book Peace Came in the Form of a Women which looks at the west before large amounts of Europeans arrived and how the large Native American population organized themselves focusing in on the Caddo people. While William Hyde’s’ book Empires, Nations, and Families: A New History of the North American West 1800-1860 as it depicts the European look and motives for the westward movement. According to Barr and Hyde’s the west before the westward expansion tended to owned and operated by the large Spanish population in Mexico and the enormous cities of the Native Americans that made up the land.
Miss Western Days is much more than a title, crown, and sash. During this past year, I have gained so many incredible experiences, memories, and friendships. Through representing our beautiful town of Elgin at various parades and events, I have found myself more involved in the community than ever before. One of my favorite memories during this time is many younger girls looking up to me and hoping to be like me one day.
The distinctions of society and society of the traveling seeker gatherer groups and the general public and society of the settled groups are diverse from numerous points of view. The seeker gatherers are defenders. They shield what is theres from "outsiders". There maxim is "more bizarre threat". Their reasoning is if a more peculiar goes to their territory they need their nourishment and safe house.
Walking into graduation, every graduate expects to hear the same speech with little variance about reaching an important milestone in life but still having many more milestones. Paul Hawken delivered a different message with his commencement address, You Are Brilliant and the Earth Is Hiring. His message was filled with hope for the future since people are working together to build a better world for all. Hawken begins with, “Humanity is coalescing.
My grandfather, mother, and entire family were raised in Bellingham, Washington as was I. I can’t imagine going to any other school than Western Washington University. This past year has been a whirlwind. I had to decide which schools to apply to, take many tests, finish up a senior project, found a new passion, and lost someone close to me. I now realize that the only school I want to go to is Western. A few weeks ago I went to tour a few colleges in Eastern Washington.
Being in the graduating class of 2017, I had plenty of opportunities to help me in my future and help me succeed in my life. I of course took many of these chances because I thought about my life in the future and thought of how much this can benefit me so I never have to struggle. One of the many opportunities that passed me was my dual credit program for St Philips college. This dual credit program allows me to go study a major that I picked out for my benefit. I chose ATMFG ( Advanced Technology and Manufacturing ) for courses like robotics and auto cad and cam so I can apply for more technical degrees later in my life.
Speech for NJHS Induction Ceremony Good evening students, faculty, and family members! Thank you, Mrs. Reece and Principal King, for inviting me to this year’s National Junior Honor Society induction ceremony. Students, tonight we honor your achievements in the areas of Scholarship, Citizenship, Responsibility, Community Service, Character, and Leadership as we recognize and celebrate the choices, and at times the sacrifices, you have made. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "The reward of a thing well done is to have done it."
Recieveing this letter that I was inducted to be in the National Junior Honor Society made my heart beat faster than I’d ever keep track of, knowing that I was more of a gifted student. Every heart beat was building up my stimulation about this honor, telling me that I demonstrate scholarship, citizenship, character, leadership, and service. To know that I have all of those traits in me makes me feel more of a part of this society, and has made me begin to realize the considerable things that I’ve done. This oppertunity is great for me because I can expand my inner and outer school activities to show what great things I do in my time. I truly enjoy having a mental achievement in school, knowing that my grades sit at the top of the A’s shelf and hardly sit on level B.
Being able to connect with the community and with my peers will be a valuable and unforgettable experience. Not only will I be able to learn from the community, but from my fellow peers, medical students, high school students, and other undergraduates as well. Getting to me mentored by people who have done what I want to do will be enriching, it’ll be an experience that ill cherish forever. Creating long lasting friendships with people who have similar interest.
and many careers are available for those who wants to work in medical, engineering, science-working field. Having all these traits will help you slide through life easier with a purpose, code, having the foundation for success and mostly importantly, it will make your life fulfilling with all your dreams and goals achieved. It will shape you as an individual, your family, society, nation and the world. I would like to congratulate you and your parents for having these traits and I’m looking forward to this upcoming year and making wonderful memories throughout the school year. Thank you all for your attendance here today.
However, little do they know that their teacher, David McCullough Jr (2012), is about to pull them away from this spotlight through his now-famous commencement speech "You Are Not Special." In his speech, McCullough effectively illustrated his message that the graduates do not have to
Wolff throughout his short story shows how a great storyteller can write a short story and twist a basic story into a thriller in every aspect of writing short stories. I believe that Wolff’s plot of “On Being a Real Westerner” is a structure which is very simplistic given the personality of an autobiography. I feel that Wolff’s paragraph follow the form that was taught to most young kids explaining step by step in which the short is presented. The idea is presented in a basic way followed by descriptions and closed with transitions that leads you to the next idea that will be presented. Wolff uses some good fragments to show what the quick thoughts of a young excited child.
My journey consisted of many good and bad times, and throughout the years I discovered my strengths and weaknesses. I made new friends, took on different tests, accomplished many things. My first year was my most difficult, being new to the school, but as the years went by, school became a more fun experience for me. Knowing that the 4 years of high school was a journey for me, I was able to brace myself for the difficult times to come and the rewards I was going to receive. At the end of the journey, I had gained a lot from these 4 years, but it also prepared me for my next journey, my journey through university.
Do you think that your peer sitting next to you is glad or proud to see you in your cap and gown? Believe it or not, you’ve left an impression on almost every teacher and classmate at Sandburg, but it was up to you to decide what that impression was going to be. And so I ask you, what is your impact? Look to your left. Now, look to your right.

I come before you with hope in my head and determination in my heart, to live my life as I choose. I have a dream.
