Graduation
Speech
Mr. Norbury, members of the School
Board, teachers, parents, friends, and
fellow graduates, it is an honor to
speak to all of you today.
A little over 11 years ago we were 6, and
Œ—•– „‡‰‹‹‰ ‘—” Œ‘—”‡› ‹ •…Š‘‘Žǡ
making new friends and learning the
meaning of what school is all about. I
remember I would always be nervous
‘ › Ƥ”•– †ƒ›ǡ „—– ƒŽ™ƒ›• ƒƒ‰‡†
to get through. I remember meeting a
cool kid named Timothy, which is a
good friend of mine till this day. But
after all, not much has changed in
these 11 years.
Yes a little over two years ago, I moved
from the United States to Peru, and
when I entered San Jorge, I
‹‡†‹ƒ–‡Ž› Ƥ––‡† ‹ ™‹–Š ‡˜‡”›‘‡ǡ
and made great friends that I will never
forget. Although this is my 2nd year at
San Jorge, my classmates have become
like family to me and are one of the
reasons why I have come to love Peru.
Well, at this time we are all excited for
our graduation, with our family, friends
and loved ones here to support us in
this accomplishment to what have
come to be many years of hard work.
And here we have our family members
ƪƒ•Š‹‰ ’‹…–—”‡•ǡ ƒ† ™‹•Š‹‰ —• ™‡ŽŽ
on our future goals.
I’m sure some of you might be thinking,
what will happen to us. Where will we
end up in a few years, and if were going
to manage to survive in the real world.
It is true, it’s not easy out there, but I’m
sure every single one of us graduating
today has the potential to do so, and
will manage to come out alright.
I know some of us may leave and move

missed by friends and family, but it is
Œ—•– –Ї „‡‰‹‹‰ ‘ˆ ƒ Œ‘—”‡› އƒ†‹‰
to our success. Jorge Armando I wish
you the best in Australia and as well as
everyone else in their careers.
I’m sure we will all look back and think
on all the good times we have had at
school, for example when Jorge would
ask a question immediately after the
teacher had already answered it,
somehow it always seemed to be
funny. Or when Daniel and Alonso
would go up to Mrs. Sandra or another
–‡ƒ…Ї” –‘ –‡ŽŽ ‘‡ ‘ˆ –Ї‹” †ƒ‹Ž› Œ‘‡• ‹
which many of the times they weren’t
funny at all. But all these things are
what make us close, like a family.
And I know that each and every one of
us graduating today will soon start

professionals and in the future in one
of our reunions notice that we’ve all
reached our goal, that Ricardo is a very
successful chef along with Andres, that
Debora managed to be a marine
biologist, and that everyone has
become what they dreamed to be.
I would also like to thank all of the
teachers who have taught us over the
years, and especially miss Sandra, since
she’s like our second mother and his
always been here for us when we’ve
needed it. Believe it or not we have all
learned something from all of you,
even if it was a class we had once a
week like religion, or TOK. You all mean
a lot to us. And I’m sure many of us will
be visiting to see what used to be our
second home, as well as the teachers
we had to live with each day. And even
though the teachers would not give us
one extra point on an assignment, we
know they did it thinking on the best
for us.
In conclusion, our time has come to an
end and hopefully we can all manage to
keep in contact over the years that are
yet to come. I hope that we are all able
to pursue and accomplish our goals
and that within time we can all manage
to get together at a school reunion.
So, fellow graduates, I urge
you today to embrace the
opportunities you have
and take what you
have learned the last
11 years and put it
to good use. Prom
LXI I wish you the
best of wishes.
