Commencement Speech

Today we are graduating and I can't help going back to think about all of the memories that have been created over the last four years. I first came to high school not knowing what to expect because I had been home schooled for almost all of my life. Looking back I am amazed at how much I have grown and changed. From being so very quiet and shy little Marie, to a less quiet and not so afraid high school graduate. It amazes me how much God has done in my life over my high school experience. How he helped me be able to talk to people more and actually say something when I gave a presentation. I have done marching band all four years. I remember the first competition as a freshmen, being scared to death of playing in front of all those people, but by my last competition senior year, it was different. I was no longer afraid, but playing the loud piccolo with confidence. Now we are ready to leave and go onto new things and experiences. But we should always remember our friends and experiences ect. from here.
