...supportive parents, fellow graduates, visitors and friends, ladies and gentlemen – GOOD EVENING! Overjoyed and elated, that’s how I feel tonight as I stand before this big crowd, for we are here to witness a grand celebration of our victory in our educational pursuit. Our graduation day is the day that all of us have waited for -- a day of harvest on our part as learners. Indeed, we have pondered this day a new dawn, an evidence of our victory in a battle of four long years through our laurels. We were contenders in the different events in terms of educational afflictions based on the standards of the Department of Education, leading to academic excellence. Finally, we have come to this moment – GRADUATION, the most jubilant and blissful part in pursuing an education. We may not be sure if we can still manage to outdo the tests on the next pace, yet one thing is certain, we are all confident and determined to move ahead. I am of mixed emotions tonight, I tell you –emotions of happiness and sadness. Sadness because of the thought that at this very soon we shall be leaving our Alma Mater and our dear schoolmates. And happiness, of course, because to hold one’s diploma feels like ecstasy, we feel perfectly happy and pleased, for we have undergone numerous trials and we have survived. All we can say now is thank you to our dear parents and teachers, who sacrificed a lot for us. We owe a lot to you. God speed to our classmates and friends. Above all, we thank you dear God, for making...

...Galileo My Valedictory Speech “Good bye to you Alma Matter†Rev. Fr. Ramonclaro G. Mendez, OP, School Director, Mrs. Muñoz, High School Principal, Mrs. Sandra Gratuito, English Teacher, High School Faculty and Non-teaching Staff, distinguished guests, dear parents, fellow graduates, ladies and gentlemen, Good afternoon. I’ve heard a lot of valedictory addresses and usually, if not all the time they struck me as boring and bent out of formalities. All I pray is that you never get bored as I get this chance in my life to talk in the same pedestal as those boring people (hehe) A long time ago, a man once said that it is not the years in a man’s life that matters, but it is the life in his years. My fellow graduates, what does thirteen years of Aquinian education mean to you? Is it just time that has come and gone? Is it the years that have finally come to an end? Or is it more than just that? My brothers and sisters, if that is all what they mean to you, then I am sorry that you have failed to reap the fruits of your labour. These eleven years are filled with more than just months, weeks and days of experience and learning. The last four years I have spent studying in Aquinas with you, my fellow classmates, makes me truly say that I am better than what others say I could be. In fact, we all are, whether we know it or not. As a class, we may have gone through many difficult trials, events that shattered our unity. There have been many fingers pointed and many...

...“You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world...but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices.” ― John Green he Fault in Our Stars , T Dear fellow Grade 7s, now isn't the time for us to make tough and rapid decisions, it’s the time to make mistakes, and not regret them, because no one’s perfect. You can have a crush on someone- a lot. You can also go change your dream, then change it again, because nothing is permanent. To me, as a new student from all the way from the other side of the Earth, this year is letting me go back to where it all began, sharing my dreams once more, and rediscovering just who I am. Worried that I might not fit in, or be friendless, since most pupils here have known each other since little, so who am I to add on to their friend list? At least that’s what I once thought. However, Mr Fisher, Mr Shoub, my S.I.S.T.A.R.S. (who are my sisters and they shine like stars) and my other fellow classmates have all helped make me stronger, and let me know that I am still who I was all along. Realizing that I should love myself just the way I am, they have lead me to take risks I would’ve never taken without their support.You have all let my insecurities slowly fade away. Yes, I’ve had many regrets and bad memories throughout the year, but it has made the good ones even more special. My advice is to make as many mistakes while you can, Grade 7s. Because that way, someday, when they ask us ...

As her AP English Professor, I have seen many examples of her talent and have long been impressed by her diligence and work ethic. I understand that Cheri is applying to the undergraduate business program at your school. I would like to recommend her for admission. Cheri has outstanding organizational skills.

...202 Sapelo Circle Augusta, GA 30901 9/22/2015 Mrs. Peoples Lucy Craft Laney 1740 Walton Way Augusta, GA 30904 Dear Mrs. Peoples, The world is known for many things such as: theft, murder, fighting, and etc. But the most shocking of them all is rape. This is a problem that lingers country to country. People tin to overlook this problem not thinking this really happens daily. Little does society know, your closest friend can be your insulter? 20%, mostly virgins (U.S.) falls victim to such a crime and greatly impacted as well. It plays over and over like a bad dream, or song; image after image, trying their hardest to erase what has happen, surly not promised justice. We’re not aware of rapist in a normal community setting. “The Lovely Bones” is a reflection of a woman (Alice Sebold) whom was raped during her grad years by a fellow classmate. Alice Sebold was physically, mentally, and emotionally affected. To let the world know her story, she disguised herself as a 14 year old girl (Susie salmon) raped and murder by her neighbor. Alice wants us, as people to understand to never joke or take matters to lightly. Always take your time to notice the things that other are overlooking. As a student of integrity and honor, I pledge to complete all work on the Senior Keystone Project myself. I will not plagiarize, use another person’s work, or commit any other form of academic dishonesty. I understand if I fail to adhere to the standards of academic integrity...

Since ur horrbl in math, Phoenix maks it ezer to undrstnd, evryth is hands on step by step, tutorials to mak sur u dont fail. Community College doesn’t offer that! Plus we can be study buddys. Holla Keathen Part 2: Dear Fellow Classmates; I am writing because I feel we deserve to know the importance of all the resources we have at the University of Phoenix. There are so many, we should capitalize on them and make our school life easier, with a much more enjoyable graduation experience. Every page you click on, there are resources- if you look carefully. Sometimes we can become overwhelmed with all the links to click we get lost and don’t know where to look. Tutorials can make the difference between knowing where to look and for what. Every Resource could not be described within 150 words, and all the resources couldn’t be described even if everyone in the classroom chose a resource. So with this in mind, we should all be investigating every option on our own, clicking...

...Camomile Tea! Dear fellow classmates and Mrs Montgomery, today I would like to introduce you to Camomile tea. I understand that not very many people like tea or maybe all of you do, I don't know. However one thing I do know is that I am in love with Camomile tea! Now, I had never heard of such creation before and when Mum brought it home I was weary to try it as the only hot drink I liked was hot chocolate! Well, I am now in love with this tea. I would drink it over hot chocolate any day! I am sure many of you think I am crazy for saying this, but you shouldn't pass judgment until you've tried it. Camomile tea is a tea sent from Heaven itself and is an infusion of dried flowers of sweet Camomile with no caffeine or artificial preservatives. Many, if not all, of us having trouble sleeping at night. Am I right or am I right?! Well studies have actually shown that if you make yourself a cup of Camomile tea 30 to 40 minutes before you go to sleep, it will help you dose off! Now for the past week I have been up and down looking after my ill sister and I haven't been able to sleep that much and coincidently I didn't drink my tea, however, last night I drank my tea and oh I slept like a baby all night long! Studies have also shown that Camomile tea can help with insomnia and other sleeping disorders; anxiety and panic attacks; muscle twitches; wounds, burns, and scrapes; skin conditions such as, eczema and chickenpox,; and lastly stomach problems such as menstrual cramps, stomach...

...the next twenty years, every state would pass their own version of these laws (“Law Reform”). Unfortunately, the movement hit a low when nineteen-year-old Jeanna Clery was raped and then murdered by a fellow student at Lehigh University in 1986 (Webley). Her death led to the Clery Act in 1990 which required all colleges and universities to publicize statistics on all crime near and on campus (Mantel). Four years later the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) was created to hold abusers...

...When doing the presentation of the poem that I picked there was a deeper meaning in comparing that poem in my life. It so happened that my husband and I were fighting earlier that evening, instead of doing something destructive. I decided to do something constructive. I looked at the poem that I picked “To My Dear and Loving Husband” and had no idea what to think. The words were from a different century and did not have the same meaning as today, but I understood the underlying meaning of the poem. Therefore, I asked my husband to read the poem and asked him for his thoughts. This started the conversation between us to help us get to the other side of the fight. I think about the poem from time to time and think how one can love someone so greatly. Then realize how much one may know of someone dying and right after the other loved one dies of a broken heart, and they cannot live without that person. Also, comparing the newspaper article about the bombing in Alabama and the poem "Ballad of Birmingham” on how detailed the poem and thoughts were when...

...When I was in this relationship, my phone would be constantly checked by the abuser. He once even took it away from me for an entire school day, unfollowed my fellow acquaintances, deleted many contacts, and deleted his own “romantic” comments he previously left under my photos. I was given an informal script of “laws” that I had to follow or he would leave me and make everyone think it was my wrong doing. I could not sit with a group of people at lunch, talk to any males, hug females, go to Wawa without calling first, I could not even wear that cute orange shirt from American Eagle or those expensive leggings. I was constantly criticized for jokes I laughed at, why I was interested in certain things at school, and for what I attempted to wear. One day at school I was upset with the abuser and wanted to walk home alone. I wore a skirt and was followed by him while listening to his disgusting remarks...

ATIENZA Course and year SUBMITTED TO: MISS JOYLEN O. SAMSOM Experimental Psychology Instructor ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- DATE SUBMITTED ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- July 4, 2013 Title: Life’s Meaningful Challenges Summary: One of the greatest truths is that life is difficult. Most people moan more than facing and solving their problems. Life is a series of problems. It only requires discipline to overcome such pains and problems. We prefer to procrastinate and ignore them. It is in this whole process of meeting and solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the cutting edge that distinguishes between success and failure. The tendency to avoid problems and the emotional suffering inherent in them is the primary basis of all human mental illness. Therefore we must inculcate ourselves and in our children the means of achieving mental, spiritual health. When we teach ourselves discipline, we are teaching ourselves how to suffer and also how to grow. Life example: I always experience hardships. Well one...
