There is a good reason they call these ceremonies "commencement exercises."  Graduation is not the end; it's the beginning.  ~Orrin Hatch

Graduation is only a concept.  In real life every day you graduate.  Graduation is a process that goes on  until the last day of your life.  If you can grasp that, you'll make a difference.  ~Arie Pencovici

You are educated.  Your certification is in your degree.  You may think of it as the ticket to the good life.  Let me ask you to think of an alternative.  Think of it as your ticket to change the world.  ~Tom Brokaw

Commencement speeches were invented largely in the belief that outgoing college students should never be released into the world until they have been properly sedated.  ~Garry Trudeau

The future lies before you

Like a field of driven snow,

Be careful how you tread it,

For every step will show.

Your schooling may be over, but remember that your education still continues.  ~Author Unknown

You have brains in your head.

You have feet in your shoes.

You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.

You're on your own.

And you know what you know.

You are the guy who'll decide where to go.

~Dr. Seuss

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did.  So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor.  Catch the trade winds in your sails.  Explore.  Dream.  Discover.  ~Attributed to Mark Twain, unconfirmed

Answer 3

Well I assume it is for valedictorian, cuz it's grade 8 and my friend has to write one for this year too. Just say something like "Over the past (how many years you have been at x school,) years at x school, we have had many different teachers, each one educating us so we could be successful in later years. If it wasn't for them, tonight would not be happening and it definitely would not be as good as it is. Let's give them a round of applause.(give them a round of applause). And I have been with these (number of graduates) students for the whole (how many years you have been at x school,) years at (x school), and loved every second of it." Then go from there by telling stories of funny things that happened through the years you have been with them at your school.

      Hope this helps!
