here she is...microsoft word doesnt think i\'m in 7th grade! and i had to edit out some stuff, but i think i\'m happy.
Hi everybody! My classmates I love so much! I’m so glad I get to talk to you all on our special day! I know you won’t remember what I’m saying, but just please remember how happy I was to be here and that I wish you all the best in life. Seeing everybody sitting together makes me wish I had really long arms so that I could give you all a big friendly giant hug. I wanted to leave you all with relevant wisdoms, and I came up with a good many, but if I can’t remember them, I shouldn’t expect you would either, so this is going to be pretty simple. Take it easy while I extend some deserved appreciation and share some basic life things.
First I must thank all of our parents who held our hands on the first day of school, tolerated tornados of papers around the house, and helped us out with our science projects. Also I must say that the Sunapee Community is quite friendly, thank you all. Most importantly, thank you to our teachers. We are better students and people because our worlds have been shaped by the encouragement, dedication and wonderfulness of those like Mrs. Spencer, Mr. Grenier, Mr. Schulman, and so many others. We are truly fortunate, thank you all again so much.
Life is contrast. Keep your heart-temple clean but your feet dirty. Listen like you know nothing, but dance, dance like you know everything. Take occasional comfort in the safety of a blanket and over-stuffed sofa, but don’t hesitate to hitchhike across the country on impluse with nothing but a satchel. Pocket the map; on your detours you’ll see some of your life’s greatest sights. See those places far and away, but never forget where home is. Get lots of greens, but enjoy plenty of ice cream cones too. Surround yourself with kind, loving people, and be yourself a kind, loving person. Give more than you take and give plenty of hugs. Smile at strangers. Work or study hard and with focus, but make time to relax your mind and be still, maybe in a sunny field. Just like rain feels best after hot days, you’ll be able to appreciate the simplicities that make you love what you love.
We have the best years of our lives ahead. Get plenty of water and you’ll do just fine. Take the time to expand your mind and explore your surroundings while still free and uncommitted, but don’t be afraid to commit. We’ll know when it’s good. Don’t underestimate anything. Even the slightest bit of wonderful can make us smile, and a good friend is this times a thousand, so be excellent to each other. We are growing into such amazing individuals, and we have so much more growing to do. The time has come to be transported to new soils, so mind your roots and set your sights on new lights, no matter how far off in the distance. Nourish your mind and your body, like I said, you’ll need plenty of water. Go forth strong and in the words of Robert Hunter, “Walk you in the Sunshine.”
any thoughts?
