My graduation speech

" If I could say a few words, I could be a better public speaker."- The Simpsons ( this is for you, Mr. Carro)

We all remember the quote from Forrest Gump:  "Life is a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get." When I look back at my years at Hynes and Golf, I see all these chocolates in a box that I have yet to discover. At the start of the year, I was anxious and didn't know what to expect.  But when I look at the box, I don't realize how many good and bad chocolates there are until it is time for each one. Each chocolate represents the memories and adventures we have had. All the good and bad memories have been lessons for each and every one of us. All the tests, homework, studying, and stress have pushed up to our limits but look. We are here now. 
Now I am ready for a new box of chocolates. High school is going to be huge for some of us and it's exciting. But looking back at the memories we all had here together, it's sad to leave. We all have our inside jokes with teachers and/or friends. The teachers have pushed us to do our hardest and I personally thank every one of the teachers for making all of us stronger and putting all efforts forth. The memories....well the memories are a big part of us. You will never know what each box will bring you. We could be talking to friends and then the next thing you'll know, we are saying "remember at the start of the year when this happened". I don't think I realized how much these memories matter. After Golf, some of us may be going our separate ways. Some of us might be staying together. Even though we all are doing something different, we all will be together with these crazy memories. And when I say crazy, I mean CRAZY. But good luck to everyone no matter if we are going to be together or not. Now I have mentioned chocolates a lot, no I am not hungry, it is just something that resembles our adventures here at Golf. Once again, good luck to the class of 2017 and I hope you enjoy your new box of chocolates.
