How To Write A Farewell Speech

Congratulations to the seniors of 2018. I am here to give some sort of uplifting and moving speech about my years as a student. To reflect on what I have gathered. To tell all the amazing stories that I have made so far in my life. They want you to get up, put on your best smile and tell everyone just how great life was before 18. “You want the truth? Well, here is it. Eventually, you forget it all. First, you forget everything you learned – the dates of the wars and Pythagorean theorem. You especially forget everything you didn’t really learn, but just memorized the night before. You forget the names of all but one or two of your favorite teachers: and eventually you forget those, too. You forget your junior year class schedule and where

We have to mold into the kind of person we know we are. You can’t keep depending on people and complaining about the things that didn’t go your way. You get to pick your college or you don’t. You get to choose where you want to live or maybe you let someone plan your life out for you. Go get more education or go get a job. Live an inspiring life or just be that inspiring person. We can all make differences it is weather you use that power for good or not. However you want to live your life and whatever choices you want to make, they are only yours to decide. It is your life and though it may seem like others are planning it for you it isn’t their journey to walk across. They all had their chance now it is your time to give it a spin. We all have different paths that we want to walk down. You get to choose just how hard you are willing to try and how happy you are going to be.

When you think the fight is almost over a whole new page is flipped. We fought our way through 14 years of schooling now it is time to fight the rest of our way through life. You only get the outcomes you want when you give it all you have. If you are just willing to give up then you obviously didn’t want it that badly. This may sound cliché but if you believe it you can achieve it. Climb mountains and swim across oceans for people. Do things that will make the best of stories. Make a difference, a huge difference. Don’t hold back and never hold yourself back because of someone else. No matter how much stress is on your plate or just how hard you believe your life is you will get through another day. You will take another breath and realize
