Ok, its 12:15 and I just walked into my house from seeing a movie with three of my best friends and I have to write this speech. A speech thats suppose to inspire all of you, and tell you how the future has so much to hold for the class of 2005, how the possibilities are endless. Right now Im probably standing in the front of the class and supposed to be addressing all of you as “fellow graduates, or to the class of 05”. But thats not what Im going to do. I put this off as I do with the majority of my work thinking I would just write something everyone expects to hear, but instead I wrote this. Im not going to tell you to go on and do well, become the doctors and lawyers and teachers of tomorrow. This isnt a speech to tell you how to live or how to go on, but to remind you how you have for the past eighteen years of your lives. Were all eighteen! Seventeen, seventeen and a half, who cares! We all grew up together. Ive walked into school every day for the most part for the past thirteen years of my life and Ive seen the same people, the same faces with the same old stories. A lot of you probably hate it here or claim you do, but you will never be here again. Ill never be in the car with my friends again like I was tonight, the night I wrote this. We are only here for a minute, you need to realize that and seize the moment, live to LIVE. I havent been the perfect student or the prefect person for that matter and for those of you who really know me you know I never tried to be. But Im ok with that. I forged friendships and lead a life Im proud to call my own. No one has the memories I have, theyre mine. No one can tell the stories Ive told or been where Ive been. Just me. But for you, its exactly the same. Ive never been perfect nor will I ever claim to be, I just get by. But for me, thats what its all about. If youve asked me in the past if Im nervous to move on, nervous to leave this place I most likely put on a stern exterior, one of certainty and readiness. The truth is, Im going to miss being here. No matter how many times I wasnt in class, no matter how many fights Ive been in with my friends and family I will never, not for a moment look past this town. Its more than a town, its who we are. Were all going away in three months give or take,
