Graduation_Speech

Graduation Speech “Time sneaks up on you like a windshield [does] on a bug,” said the celebrity John Lithgow. For the student, our first day of school here at the Lewis F. Cole middle school seems like only yesterday. In only two short years, we have accomplished so much more than we thought we could on that first day when we were all strangers in a strange new world. But maybe fate decided how we would end up, and maybe it was fate that dictated to what extent we would be successful in achieving many of our goals. Perhaps it was also due to fate that we all made the mistakes we made. And conceivably, it may be fate that I was chosen to stand here addressing you the students, your parents, and our teachers. Before I go further, I should first congratulate the class of 2003 on surviving their two year crash course in social growth and express our classes’ deepest thanks to the devoted teaching staff who patiently guided us through all those academic thickets. We are who we are. I choose no more to be male than my mother did to be female.
