Graduation Speech

Life is one of those magnificent wonders that craves for exploration and divine meanings. With all of our experiences governing who we are and who we'll become, it's hard to attain it all without avoiding something. The way we all went through elementary and middle school was a vital part in what we gain as we go through high school. And we all know that it was an awkward time, we didn't know what to do, except walk through our first couple of days impish and nervous. Avoiding people to see our new faces and afraid that the movies might come true and you would be stuck in a locker. Yet we were given more freedoms to uphold and more homework to accomplish, new people to meet, friends to gain and things to prepare for. This in turn gave us more responsibilities and quotas to uphold.

New experiences are presented to us everyday, to achieve and complete these tasks we find different ways to craft our own meanings. Following our values, are what draw us nearer to the better person we're supposed to be, through our high school career we struggle to find ourselves, some of us have found them easier than others. Our discoveries and our will that we force upon the world will bow to our great generation, we as a unit gain more intellect and skills than our previous generation, even though they have led us to what we are now. We are more evolved, absorbing information to gain what we call power, but is known to others as knowledge. What we have to offer is awesome for we are the new adults that have just passed through this gate. We have brand new ideals and skills to be brought to this world that has been waiting for us, this generation has pushed through some great times and we all have lived through harsh times. We have witnessed the change in technology; we have seen the twin towers fall, lived in the time of a black president, and gazed at the wonders of dead rats and fetal pigs.

On my own path I have struggled, and through the rubble I have found answers that guide me now through life.With these rights as human beings we have reason and understanding, opposable thumbs and have lots of fun; but don't get weary over this long and prosperous life we try so hard to perfect. The paths that cross and the trials that cast the wands of decision are only what we get through to progress our lives and come back with the passions of which we are so dearly to indulge ourselves in our triumph to the Victorious waters of wisdom. As Aesop Rock once said, "Everything I do I am fascinated with," and I took that in thinking to myself, with everything we do as human beings we find attracting and the experiences give us understandings in life that make us find who we are and what we do that defines the being we become as adults in this life will get us very far.
