Promotions Speech

Hi, how are you guys, class of 2021? Well good. I hope you're doing well. As you know, we are now moving on. Getting out of here in the nicest way possible. And quite frankly, Pulling a skiddattle. And although it seems almost unreal, we are now practically out of middle school. We are growing up faster than we know it and it is kinda scary, I have to admit. To know that we will be our own person in four years. But I assure  you, its not the end. We still, as Ive said, have these four years together.

My middle school years have been great. Even though I have sadly, only been at Manitou for two years. These years have been great. The feeling of walking into a new school and a new year is scary. But being apart of things has really helped me. Being a part of sports and music experiences. Participating in health games and activities. I think that is the best part. Getting to meet new people and having fun.

As I have progressed through the years, not only have I physically grown, but I have mentally and socially grown also. Whether it was learning about the cells in Mrs. Guance's class, or learning how to diagram sentences in Ms. Spengler class. I have learned so much more than I would've have anywhere else. Manitou springs middle school has not only offered a safe place to really be who I am, but a garunteed growth. Manitou is like one large family. And like a family, we might fight and argue. But we still have each other in times of need.

As a grade, we have grown so much. We have changed and added on to the family number wise. And altogether, we have exponentially seen new events come to pass so quickly. You guys have made new connections and brought in "new blood". We have made signs to support our sports teams. And have even put together a spirit bus for boys basketball. And honestly it's touching. The fact that we put time and effort got support each other. We have truly all together equally grown.

So take that. Take the help and growth you captured and hold on to it, use it to propell you through high school. Don't be shy. Make new friends and get to know new people and new things. Really search and find yourself. And once you do, don't like anyone shake your solid ground.

So now, with that. Class of 2021, as Steve Jobs once said, "Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow know what you want to become." Thank you students and peers. But most of all thank you to teachers and staff! Now, go on. Scram. You're high schloolers now.
