Commencement Speech

(We had to write commencement speeches at school and this is mine)


Hello everyone I'm Jason He and welcome to all the ladies and gentlemen who are attending and celebrating promotion with us today. We have been working hard to make this day come true, the day we get promoted for grade school to middle school. All of us have grown as grade, but we have mainly changed by ourselves. We will leave behind a great school, smart teachers and perhaps even friends when we move into middle school. I will look back into the past to help me in the future.

Awhile ago when I was probably 8-9 I had to gain a very special responsibility, to look after and take care of my younger sister. When my sister was young she was very naughty and mischievous. she was uncontrollable because she would climb tables, destroy furniture and wreck the house. I would have to quickly deal with her and punish her when she had done something really bad.

Since my sister was so disruptive, I would have to be responsible and clean up after her. Also I would have to teach her lessons so she could be a better person. Sometimes she would get annoying but I would have to deal with it. There were time I would even have to educate her when she was too stubborn to listen to adults.

This new responsibility taught me very important lifelong lesson that will help me in the future. This lesson was that I would have to be responsible for my own responsibilities. This will help me remember things that I need to do when I grow older and move on. Also this a very useful skill to get organized.

As Fredrich Nietzsche once said,"Freedom is the will to be responsible to ourselves." We all have freedom so why don't we be responsible for yourselves and other things. Thank you everyone and let's make this a honored and remembered day!
