I walked up the few steps onto this stage. I can’t seem to shake my nerves. Beads of sweat are going to screw up my million-dollar look. I take the final step and walk towards the mic. _Feedback_. I gulp as I look under my hand that blocks the bright spotlights. The crowd is huddled together like football players on a football championship game night. Some of the girls, though, look as if they’re ...

“OK. So hiii. I’m Honey… CLAP. please.”

*applause*

“As y’all know. I’m THE MOST. Popular girl in the entire school. AKA why I won prom Queen.””Yaass girl”

“**SHUSH**. Anyways, my speech will probably be TRASH. So enjoy life. I guess. I am soooo grateful though to a few people. The others, like my speech, are TRASH. So Grateful to Emily and Emilia. Tysm 4 the good times. Applause for them. NOW.”

This year was a year that I couldn’t possible describe with any words. All the..events…that occurred were certainly things that happened. Remember that massive thing that went down? Or that…drama? Honestly so much happened, it was a lot. While I can’t possibly do this year justice I think I’ve said enough. Let’s end this year strong and have one more occurrence!...

“ Wow. I can’t believe this crown is mine.” They look at me with envy and admiration. The prom queen crown glowing with envy.

“ I just would like to say some things.” I see my friends nod at me. Time to start.

“ I would first like to thank my ex boyfriend Kyle. You guys know Kyle right? He is right over there!” I wave at him and he blushes.

“ Kyle, thank you for trusting me with your secrets. Like...

My name gets called to approach the podium.

Applause fills the gymnasium as I rise and begin walking towards the stage.

I take my place behind the microphone.

I look around and see the faces of my peers, eagerly awaiting what I have to say.

The teachers stand on the perimeter, monitoring the stewing chaos.

I breathe in deeply, and say to myself in a whisper,

“Here we go.”

Class of 2009?!?

Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed faculty, and my fellow graduates,

Tonight, as we gather here to celebrate the culmination of our high school journey, I stand before you with a heart brimming with emotions. This year has been a whirlwind of unforgettable experiences, filled with laughter, tears, and triumphs. And as I reflect upon these moments, I am reminded of the unique stories that have woven t...

I was nervous, but the good type of nervous. The way you feel before you do something special. I had prepared all I could and now it was time to roll the fuckin dice. I straightened my bow tie and approached the podium. I gripped the microphone and prepared to shock the world. “Yo what up, as most of you know I’m Tyler’s dad.” So far so good. “Not gonna lie I’m buzzin pretty hard so bare with me h...

As the year comes to and end, let’s grasp hands and dance to the melodies made that make us reminisce and mindful of the memorable years of highschool. No one knows what the future will bring but time will tell as it passes. The past has passed and adulthood is speeding our way. I wish you all the best, with long lives filled with laughter and love. Let’s enjoy the night and live while we’re young...

Well, looking back at it now it’s so weird to think that this used to look so far away. That this used to be a fantasy and we’d think how much we wanted to grow up. But the truth is, we wasted half of our time wishing that we were older and from now on we’re probably going to wish we were younger. But that’s okay, it’s a game everyone plays unintentionally. Fortunately we have so much to look forw...

Good evening ladies and gentlemen.

As we take a moment to look back on this year, I am reminded it is a miracle that we have made it this far. Though our continued thoughts are with Miss Happanovich - may she regain her sense of smell soon.

Our year started as it always does, full of hope and anticipation for the learning and growth to come, a feeling that lasted until a school record of eleven-...
