8th Grade Graduation Speech
To our most esteemed teachers, principals, parents, and graduates, a pleasant morning/midday/whatever time I might be presenting this speech on. To provide something lots of people can relate to, including me, middle school was a great adventure, which happened to have taught us many things. Perseverance, friendships, and lessons learned.
