GRADUATION SPEECH

From the first time that I walked into Hynes on the first day, all the way to when I walk out of Golf the last time, this school district has taught me so much about not just education, but also about myself.  

Hynes was an amazing time for me, everything was so easy, fun, and all of the teachers were so great. My favorite part of Hynes was definitely all of the teachers, they made my life so much more fun. I loved all of my teacher, but I would like to talk about 2 of my teachers. 

Firstly, Ms. Reiner. Ms. Reiner is probably one of the sweetest people. She made me so excited to go to 1st grade every day, and I even loved hanging out with her out of class, like in lunch bunches with Kylie. 

The second teacher who I would like to talk about is Mrs. Mlynski. Mrs. Mlynski made my last year at Hynes so much fun, and she helped us get prepared for Golf. I love Mrs. Mlynski so much because, she was always so positive, and she was always so excited to teach for us.

Once I finally graduated Hynes, I moved onto golf.

Fifth through seventh grade changed me a lot in different ways. I became smarter about myself, but I still made mistakes. I learned a lot over those three years, but that doesn't even compare to 8th grade.

Wow, eighth grade. I can't even express with words how much I loved eighth grade. Eighth grade was the best year out of all 9 years that I have been in this district, so I would like to thank all of my teachers. My teachers taught me so, so much, but my class did too.

I have been with the same class for around 5 years now. Our class has an indescribable bond. We have too many crazy jokes, and distorted stories, so I would like to thank them for making me laugh constantly, and just being themselves daily.

Lastly, I would want to thank all of my 8th grade teachers. Every single one of my teachers has done so much for me, and I'm so grateful for that. Mrs. Joyner, Mrs. Maldonado, Mrs. Conejo, Mr. Carris, Mr. Carro, Mr. Atwood, Mrs. Vojak, Mrs. Brown, Ms. Gould, and Ms. Boyle, thank you for all that you'd have done for me, thank you Golf for giving me the best experience, and thank you to everyone else who was in my life at Golf.                        

DEAR 5TH GRADE ME.

Firstly, why were you so annoying?

I guess that all 5th graders think that they're "cool" because they just entered middle school, but really, why? You were loud and annoying and you never used your mind. I wish that you just stopped for a minute, and thought about it for a second.

You were so young.

Oh, you were. You thought that the world was an easy place and that it revolved around you. I wish that you realized that the world is a hard place and it's going to take a lot to be successful and that you can't do whatever you want.

I don't have very much to say to you, but the last thing that I would like to say is, I'm glad I'm not like you anymore.
