Finally, graduation and all the pomp and circumstance that surrounds it has come to collect me and whisk me into the world of adults. Now, I must write out a senior goodbye and in the spirit of graduation, I will give my own speech. Hope you enjoy.

This is the part where the stereotypical goodbye speech would reflect on the all the lessons and cutesy little stories they picked up on in the past four years.

I shall recount the story of the time I made a sandwich. First, I grabbed two slices of bread and some meat and cheese. Next, I laid the meat and the cheese in between the bread and shut them. Last, I proceeded to consume the fruits of my labor.

The second part of the stereotypical goodbye speech is to talk about a time that I struggled and how I overcame that problem.

Once, I tripped over my dog and I fell. Now, I had two choices here; I could lay there or I could get up. Seeing that I managed to sit at a keyboard to write all this out, my decision is rather obvious.

The third and final part of the stereotypical goodbye speech is a conclusion and urging to those left behind to go do great things.

Now you sit here reading an article online and as you begin to feel the inspiration rise and emotion well up inside you as you think to yourself, “Yes, I can make a sandwich too!” or “Whenever I trip over my small pet, I too will get up off the floor,” know that you are not limited in life. Perhaps, you will make toast or stumble over a footstool. Just know that even though you may find yourself in situations that feel even the slightest bit uncomfortable, just repeat this word to yourself and ponder its meaning, “Quakenbush.”

 Thank you.
