Graduation Speech: I Am Crowd Member No. 5 :: Graduation Speech, Commencement Address

Well, my fellow graduates, this is really it. We are all probably feeling mixed emotions right now. or so feeling sweet eternal sleep that it is finally done, over, and finished. Maybe a twinge of sadness and nostalgia because pretty much all you receive known for a good majority of your life has practise to an end. I am sure by now we have all heard that question, What are you going to do after high school? Some of you do have definite plans and know exactly what you are going to be doing. But, if you are anything like me, you have probably rolled quite a few things around in your head and you have a pretty good idea of what you might do. Maybe all you have thought slightly is lead offting the heck out of here and meeting new people. But no matter what you do or whoever you meet, those new people and places are going to have one less thing in common with you. They wont know what is was like going to a small school and knowing everybodys face, or running to the lunch line on We dnesday for a hoagie, or hatching corny skits for assemblies, or marching in the parade at Homecoming. tout ensemble of us in this room tonight have something in common, and high school is not something you forget. It only happens once and you cant go bandaging (For most of us anyway.) So since we cant stay here, we have to go somewhere else and make something of ourselves. But what are we going to do? What do we want to do? Sometimes, what we want to do isnt exactly what we end up doing. We all have dreams. Everyone does, like myself for example. I know exactly what I want to do, but it doesnt happen to be what everyone else likes to do as well .... and thats to act. Whether it be a commercial, on stage, or in a movie, I like to act. It is what I love doing. What do I have to lose in trying. What do all of you have to lose in engage your dreams? Im going to try my hardest to do what I love, even though members of my family and some of my friends are concerned that all I will get is a pimple cream commercial, or an insignificant role as Crowd Member No.
