~~~~~ free graduation speeches ~~~~~
The first of the free graduation speeches is about coping with change.
Free Graduation Speeches - Change
You have no idea how proud I am to be here tonight.
4 Years ago my family came here from Scotland and for home loving people that was a big change. I was a bit daunted by joining a new education system in a new country. However it has proved to be the making of me.
My family have a very hard working ethos, if you start something you must persevere and see it through. All this is done in a great positive, loving family atmosphere. Indeed my Dad’s favorite quote is from Malcolm Forbes, “If at first you don’t succeed, try harder”.
Thanks to my parents and family for their support!
Very fortunately for me I have attended this college. I have found everything to be very similar to my own background, hard work and a positive way of life. The college have taught us, mentored us and stood by us in troubling times.
The achievement we have in graduating is down to the college, our teachers and the leadership of the principal. A big thank you to all of them.
College is of course about hard work and learning. For me this learning has also been about the American way of life and the pride you all have in it.
I am delighted for everyone here to celebrate their graduation!
For the future I am sure change will happen at the same pace as in the past few years and I hope all of us can embrace that change and I know our preparation for life at our college will see us through.
Good luck to everyone.

The next of the free graduation speeches is about doing what you love.
Free Graduation Speeches - Do What You Love
Thank you Principal McKenzie
Good evening everyone.
I am certain I would not be standing here if I had not found out what I love to do.
My family background is to work hard, support the family and keep a smile on your face.
I was very busy for sometime working hard but with NO smile on my face. This is not a good place to be.
I saw only an uphill struggle, panics over grading and letting my family down - not what they want for me.
Then Mr Mckenzie asked me what I enjoy doing and what I could do to enjoy the other subjects. After a month of searching for answers I realised I actually do like math - seemed strange!
Soon afterward I worked out what I could do to get the best out of the other topics. Some I started to enjoy and for others I came to like the intellectual challenge of thinking about something different.
So, a smile reappeared on my face and I started to enjoy life all round.
With a big smile on my face I thank all of the teaching staff, principal McKenzie and the mentors. I also thank my parents and my fellow students as we have shared each others pain and successes.
Let us celebrate our graduation and look forward to a great party.
Also let us think through how much stronger we are and the importance of finding what we love to do in life.
Put a smile on your face and look forward to the next set of challenges!
Thank You

The next of the free graduation speeches is about a famous heritage.
Free Graduation Speeches - Famous Names
Our High School has borne some famous names. Indeed there are captains of industry, poets, writers and a Harvard Professor in our alumni.
These people have marked a very high standard for all of us, luckily for us the school system of teaching, mentoring and the support we receive make these high standards possible for us too.
This High School may well be famous for its demanding standards, but is is demonstrably backed by the great results achieved.
I have loved the challenge of being here and also the fun, team oriented approach of my fellow students. There is a sense when you arrive here of what a great place it is.
Many thanks to everyone here!
Now it is time to party, we owe the school a great party night and to maintain the same high standards of some famous parties in the past.
To maintain the famous past of this school I hope in years to some to meet up with lots of you who have made your mark on the world. Some say who am I to be famous and successful, I say who are you not to be.
Good Luck for the future

The next of the free graduation speeches is about codes of conduct.
Free Graduation Speeches - University Code Of Conduct
Congratulations to everyone, graduating from University of Glasgow is a prestigious and honorable accolade.
The University stands for honor and I hope we have truly learned what that means, and what it will do for us for the rest of our lives.
The Lecturers here have an enviable world wide reputation as respected academics and teachers. I thank them for making that high standard possible for all of us. The whole 4 year journey has been about aiming for high standards but in an honourable way. I truly admire the personal and professional way I have been treated.
When I came here I was the first person in my family to attend University and they had no expectation for me but have been totally supportive of everything I have done. A big thanks to them for that.
I had no real expectation myself, I had no goals and did not really know what my degree would be in. Very quickly I came to be inspired by the staff. I developed a real hunger to learn and be just like these people who I admire.
I have had straightforward, honest feedback and fair dealings every step of the way. Just as you would expect in an honorable institution. However, being in Glasgow, it has also been in a people centred , caring way where people are not afraid of being close and the team is important.
And so, today it is an honor to have you all listening to me for a short time. I look forward to the big party tonight and to spending time with as many of you as I can.
For the future, well if we conduct ourselves with honor and emulate the standards set for us we will succeed in whatever we choose to do.
Good Luck to all of you and thanks for listening.
The next of the free graduation speeches is about making the most of the future.
Free Graduation Speeches - Reach For The Stars
Principal Fratelli, Honored Guests, Students, Parents and Friends.
Congratulations Class of 2008 - That felt good!
You have achieved the goal you set many years ago, what a fantastic success - well done!
This wonderful college has been your home for some time now. I believe many of you will regret leaving here enormously.
I had dinner with Faculty members last night and I know how highly regarded your class is. Many comments were made about one of the best classes in years. You are a credit to yourselves and your families.
Some of you have achieved everything you wanted to and more.
Some of you are just a little short of expectations but I fully believe you are very, very successful.
I do hope you are proud of yourself. Certainly I know your teachers are!
There is a great little quote:
Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss it you will land among the stars.
Author unknown
I hope you feel you have landed amongst the stars!
Enjoy today. It is always worthwhile taking a breather and having fun! I hope you party is a real blast.
Looking forward to your careers and life after college I truly hope you continue to reach for the stars.
If you want to be the best person you can be you need to use your talents to their full potential. You must find something to challenge you, you will be sharper, happier and stronger as a result.
I hope you find your passion. That will drive you to success. Many of you will have careers arranged already, I hope you love them!
Some of you will not have decided yet.
Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.
Author unknown
I am sure all of you will reach for your own stars. As you do, you will become a person of the highest integrity. That will benefit you a thousand fold. To have the trust and respect of your peers is truly a treasured gift.
Others will be drawn to help you. You will attract strong powerful colleagues who will make you stronger and happier too.
And what of financial wealth? That will come as a result of doing the right things!
Let me leave you with a short quote:
I hope your dreams take you to the corners of your smiles, to the highest of your hopes, to the windows of your opportunities, and to the most special places your heart has ever known.
Author unknown
Good Luck

The next of the free graduation speeches is about living with obstacles.
Free Graduation Speeches - Living With Obstacles
Principal Fulton, Faculty members, students and families.
Congratulations Class of 2008.
I know from my time here, getting through college is very hard to do.
You work hard everyday.
You study hard, prepare papers, research, attend class sit exams and just about get time to sleep.
You have a job to help pay the bills.
At times you are faced with learning things which just will not go in. You double your effort to maintain your grades and you still keep going at your other topics.
You may have some periods of home sickness and you just find a way to get through it.
I like the quote:
"You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. You can't get there by bus, only by hard work and risk and by not quite knowing what you're doing, but what you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover will be yourself."
Author Alan Alda
I am sure along the way you have partied hard, eaten pizza and laughed with your close friends.
I also know many of you have contributed a great deal to charities.
I hope today you feel it has all been worth while. I truly admire you for persevering and achieving your goals..
There are plenty of challenges ahead thankfully. Each one will make you a stronger more determined person who can give more and more to others.
You must remember to balance your life too. The obstacles you face must not be your whole life. We are all meant to have a balanced existence. Just deal with the challenges and move on.
I urge you to put life into perspective. I have no doubt you will use your exceptional skills to succeed. I hope success includes relationships, hobbies, sports and fun.
Good Luck To All Of You!

Well done to Ewan, Rebecca, Christine, Jessica, Harry, Alicia, Mary, Max, Rodney, Susan, Debbie, Felicity and Jamie you are the best.
I know you have all been outstanding at numbers, letters, words, nature and lots more things besides. Amazing to see how gifted you are.
As you know I am an artist and I paint pictures for a living.
Principal Morton asked me to spend a day with you all recently to see how brilliant you are at art and also to see if we could come up with lots more fun stuff.
It was a fantastic day. I loved being with you all. Your high energy approach to art is amazing. There was lots of creative stuff that day and there is lots more to come from you.
I am here today to thank everyone as Jamie’s dad and on behalf of the very proud and grateful parents. Celebrating your special day is great fun. I hope you feel like doing lots more art.
Thank you to Mrs Hamilton and Mrs Ortega. You have given our children very happy and successful days at Kindergarten. It has been the experience of a lifetime. Jamie just cannot wait to get his coat off and get going when we arrive in the morning. I makes every parent feel very happy too.
Thank you very much.
Again let us congratulate these amazing kids! You are all just so ready to move up to the next level, to keep learning and growing.
I hope you will continue to paint and draw. As you can see from the display behind me you have excelled yourselves in your art. It is just fantastic, so much so that a local art gallery is going to display your work next month. When I met the owner recently I told him he just had to see your work. I hope you can get all your family over to see the display.
I will remember always what a pleasure it was to spend the day with you all.
Good Luck.
Good Luck with your free graduation speeches.
