Graduation Speech -- Graduation Speech, Commencement Address

Isnt it strange how princes and kings And clowns who caper in sawdust rings And familiar folk, like you and me Are builders for eternity. For severally is given a bag of tools, A shapeless mass, and a set of rules. And each of us, a life sentence is flown, essential either build a stumbling block or stepping stone. Builders for eternity ... what an fearful thought That you and I not would be, nor could be, unless are builders for eternity. On this day, the seventh of June 2006, at our advanced school graduation night, the night we say adios to the structured life high school offers, the night we say goodbye to friends and teachers that have impacted our lives in so many ways. This night, as we statement off the beaten track(predicate)ewell and invite the broad, new horizon ahead of us, we moldiness make ourselves this What kinds of builders will we become, and what will we build? Life is filled with endless opportunities of what we substructure become. Not merely as a p rofession, but what makes us as individuals. As we, builders for eternity, fabricate our lives from here on out as high school graduates, I hope and pray for the very best for each and every one of us that we can all build, for ourselves, and, more importantly, others, stepping-stones. In doing this, there are three words that stand out to me to declare in mind. They all start with the letter E. The first E is for Enjoy. A band named Aerosmith said Life is a journey not a destination. So live it accordingly. Let us enjoy being who we are, doing those activities that excite, enliven, and propel ourselves. It is often important and necessary to do things that are not fun, but overall, be you, someone who you will enjoy being. The second E is for Effort. A person should do his or her job ... ... in this gymnasium this evening has these three items A bag of God given talents, a life of time to do with what we please, and a few laws to live by when applying these talents and time. So , with these thoughts in mind, what is the challenge before us? ... And each of us, a life is flown, must either build a stumbling block or a stepping-stone.
