” I’m still a nobody. But once I graduated here, I would be a somebody,” one quote from a person I never had a chance to meet and shake hands with . Well, nice line – great thought which needs a deep understanding.
A pleasant day to all of us – fellow graduates, parents teachers and guest speakers. Before anything else, I just like everyone to lend your ears to me in a few minutes. Please make a smile for this big day that a big ‘God’ has given to us. It is such a very rare day for ordinary students like us who have been part of each person’s lives. Happy Graduation Day! This school will miss me, perhaps. But I would not miss it right away because I am willing to visit it in my spare time.

And that’s what we called “experience” which is really our teacher in the “life” which is originally the real school – it is a line from an unpublished book of a unknown author who inspires me so much.

You know guys? While I’m writing this speech, I asked myself if this is right or if it is wrong. But I don’t care for it either because I am not after what will you comment about me or about this speech. I am more after of what I really want to say to you.

Now that I am standing here in front of the crowd, it doesn’t mean that I am the most outstanding student. Hey, I just only representing all of you. Remember? It is not my day, it is our special day that supposed to be a day of happiness not a day of teary eyes. This day must not be the end of everything – end of high school life, end of knowledge, end of tears, end of happiness and end of the greatest thing I had known since I wrote my full name, “Friendship”. It is a new beginning of another chapter in the road we will take in the near future or maybe tomorrow morning if we wake up. Memories in this school will be surely cherished in the heart of each students who have been the part of everyone’s meaningful high school life. Life must always go on..
