My Speech "Experience in College"

"Good evening everyone!" I hope that you are enjoying the dinner and the performance for the evening at our "Elegant Night" farewell dinner.

Well, it is no secret to anyone here that I am the most excited of all of us to be graduating from this college. If school for me was an ocean cruise, my ship wanted to sink just around halfway! Boy was I sinking fast, in the midst of the assignments, and tests. But as I looked before me and behind me, all I could see was open sea. I had come too far to go back or to fail. So I want to start by thanking all of those hard working lecturers that gave me counsel and tutorials and to my friends who helps me till I made it ashore.

There are so many interesting and funny things happened throughout this diploma studies. Each event ties up closer our friendship. At first, I was so eager to graduate but now I feel sad because we all have to go with our own separate way and will we ever meet again is still a question.

Anyway tonight we celebrate the ups and the downs, the struggles and the success. Some of you are going to further your studies, and some to new jobs, some to time off to think and reflect and yet more to uncertain unemployment. No, I am just kidding! I really wish everyone the greatest success imaginable. But yet, we still have our practical training.

I have learned a lot and I am sure all my friend here are the same. Friends, after we walk out from this college, we are totally a new different person with equipped knowledge and skills. I hope we all can excel in our future.

I leave with you these famous words, “It is better to wear out, than to rust out". Yes, it may sound funny but those words have deep meaning. Make sure that all of you get busy doing something that you are passionate about and never let life just pass you by.

We worked hard for this moment and we must make the most of the opportunity! Again, a huge congratulation to everyone! Thank you!
