Graduation Speech

Man what a ride this year has been. I remember the last day at Gemini Junior High School as a seventh grader, telling all my friends that I would move to a different school.  I was very iffy about moving to different schools originally because I was nervous about how the people I meet were going to be like. I was also kind of sad because I would have to leave all my classmates that I have know my whole life and start a new journey of finding friends and meeting new teachers. After finally saying my last good byes to everyone before summer started, I started to mentally prepare myself for the new school year. After a long summer of moving boxes and furniture we were finally done with the process of moving. Now was the time to focus my attention on my last year of middle school. The summer was over and it was my time to attend Golf Middle School. The first couple of days of school were nerve wrecking, but after a couple of weeks I started to get comfortable with my peers and my teachers. Soon enough Golf Middle School was a place that I could go to 5 days a week.  GMS held many great memories for me as a student but the best memories held for me was the basketball team. While we were on the basketball team there were many memories from Joey hitting a buzzer beater to beat Fairview and Sagar's game tying layup against Lincoln. Aside from all the activities I did during my 8th grade year at GMS,  the one thing that I learned most about this school year was trying to find myself as a person to build my character in highschool. It is a journey that has just begun and it will be a journey that I will carry with me forever. This school has held many memories for me and I hope I will make more memories in High School with the friends I have made this year.
