TOMOROW!!!
OMG!!! tomorrow is my graduation!!! finally!!! I'm a little nervous... my director called me today and told me that I was going to give the speech to everyone. I had a gut feeling that I was going to do it. So it wasn't much of a surprise. There it goes:
It's been a looooooooooooong year.
This year has been full of memories. Full of tears, laughter, problems, jokes.
Just like any other year, but for some of us it has been a year for remembrance.
Many of us have gain a name, a name our teammates have given us, out of friendship or maybe by something that you are good at. Others have discovered new friends, or perhaps just get to know others better.
Junior High. It can be one of the hardest challenges in life. All of us are going through adolescence. A bad joke of life if may say. We all know what this period of life hides.
Problems with our parents, with friends, we think that no one understands us, that all the others are wrong, our character changes, our tastes, even the way we see life. It's hard enough without Junior High, but it's necessary.
Think of it as just another race that you must win. You have other cars that want to win as well, what is life without competition. Some of those cars don't play clean, others just give the best they have, but all of them have a goal, to win that race and go the next one, to finally go the ultimate race, real life.
I know Junior High is difficult, I know the people in it can be sometimes cruel, sometimes without noticing it, others are really nice, and some others indifferent. You may think: "but why me?", well you should also think : "Why not me?" I know it sounds weird, but think. Other persons are facing same problem, others are facing even worse problems. If someone is bugging you, if someone is bulling you, face them. Not with feast, not with silence, but with words. Face them; don't let them get to you. Remember this all "words harm deeper than any sword, physical blows heal, but blows given by words may never heal" I know it's going to sound like Spiderman but I'll say it anyway. "Words have a great power, use them wisely."
Junior High is not all bad. I have friends, from all the three years, but also I have teachers that I consider my friends. Sometimes we forget that teachers have a life outside school. Sometimes they help in the times of need, when we feel down, or when we are happy. All of them are precious friends.
Getting out of the dark side of things, Junior High has been full of these things and more. In third year, when you look back, you sort of see yourself. When I look at the firs years I think "was I that small, did I looked that innocent", but when I see second year I think "not so long ago I was there, and now I'm here, how time flies." For me this year has been special. It's the last year I'll be here, in this school, with these friends, with these teammates, with these teachers, in this country. Leaving all this made me think. I'll miss all of this.
Many of us are leaving, others will stay next year, and some have no idea. For all the ones that are going to third year. There is not great difference between second and third, just some new things. Teacher will tell you that the lower grades will look up at you, that you must give an example for all them. You'll learn some new things, and will gain new responsibilities, and privileges. Out of that I think it's the same as second year.
For all of those who are just getting to Junior High I’ll tell you to not get the things I said at heart. This is just a point of view. It might be different for all of you. Welcome to Junior High, to a new period of your life. Remember that your friends will be there for you, and that if you remain together as a group, you can overcome things easier. Union makes the strength.
WELCOME to a new year, and good bye to all of you.
I know there are some grammar problems, but well sorry. Well tell me what you think ok?
I'll be saying this, or more less this *I'm not allowed to read*, *sigh*. Well see you in sometime later today, it's already 1 AM!!! oh oh time to hit the pillow. see ya!!!
