1 00:00:07,599 --> 00:00:11,599 What would a life without continuous challenges be like? 2 00:00:11,599 --> 00:00:16,600 This is the question I have been asking myself in order to find motivation along this year. 3 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:27,600 This is because I have looked forward to putting an end to all the stress and all the difficulties that I have been across as the year went on. 4 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:34,600 But if I hadn't done that, I wouldn't be as proud of myself as I am now. 5 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:40,600 When I was younger and I was in ESO, I could never have imagined myself here. 6 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,600 This year has been the hardest of my life. 7 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,600 I am unsure that almost all my classmates feel the same as me. 8 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:54,600 Obviously, I have been across more difficult situations in my life, but I mean in my academic life. 9 00:00:54,600 --> 00:01:03,600 However, going through all the nerves, the pressure, the non-sleeping days and all the sacrifices it requires has been tough. 10 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:17,599 Nevertheless, I believe that all of us have overcome the most difficult part and I would like to address my mates in order to congratulate them on having been able to make it. 11 00:01:18,599 --> 00:01:28,599 Furthermore, I would like to thank my parents who have been always supporting me and trying to make this year easier, in those moments when I was stressed and angry almost all the day. 12 00:01:28,599 --> 00:01:45,599 Also, I would like to thank our teachers who have been really sympathetic with us, speaking with the class, giving advice, and especially the school counsellor, who has been really supportive and who ensured she will win the battle she is fighting now. 13 00:01:45,599 --> 00:01:55,599 All that has been really useful to keep going and not give up. And without that help, I think that I could never have reached this moment. 14 00:01:55,599 --> 00:02:03,599 We still have to get over the last part and it won't be easy, but I bet all of us will be able to make it. 15 00:02:03,599 --> 00:02:11,599 Why not? If we are still alive, I think we can do this last effort and then we can have the greatest party we have ever had. 16 00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:19,599 And in addition to this, now is the moment when we have finished with this, the phase that I think is the most important one in our student life. 17 00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:41,080 life. So this year isn't the end. This year is the beginning of a new life for all of us, as well as a chance to go on with our training for our future and for being capable of facing life with our own attitude. Because for me, the main objective of this educational process is getting to know ourselves. 18 00:02:41,080 --> 00:03:05,080 So this year I have learned more about who I am, what my limits are, how I can control myself, my shame, my anguish over all the stressful situations and these things are the really important ones that I will always have in my mind when I am older, I am in a university or at a job, even in a daily situation. 19 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,080 So good luck to my classmates and thanks to all of you for your attention. 20 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:21,080 weird to believe in this moment about to finish a long six-year period of my life it's curious 21 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:27,159 to remember all these years which have passed since this moment began and i remember that in 22 00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:34,439 first office i thought which optional subject will i choose when i am in pacherato that's stupid to 23 00:03:34,439 --> 00:03:40,520 think about this now it will be in six years i remember that in the first year the first term 24 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:56,460 I failed two subjects and it was very disheartening, thinking that high school was very difficult and that if I had had started with two fails, how was I going to do during the rest of high school? But in that moment, I received some encouragement from my parents and my brother. 25 00:03:56,460 --> 00:04:12,460 My parents encouraged me saying that I had to study more and they tried to explain that high school wasn't similar to elementary school and of course that I had to dedicate more time and to study more than obviously in the elementary school. 26 00:04:12,460 --> 00:04:17,800 I also remember that my friends were like me thinking how bad the school was 27 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:22,120 so the situation was the same to everybody but we just had to think that 28 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:29,920 school required more work and time than in general more work and time. Second 29 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:35,500 professor was much easier once we had the idea of effort and work and each 30 00:04:35,500 --> 00:04:41,079 year had its difficulties but each year one yeah each year each one was a 31 00:04:41,079 --> 00:04:46,740 a lesson of maturity and step more to make up my mind about what to do in the future. 32 00:04:47,519 --> 00:04:52,279 Now that we all arrived here, I think that all my classmates deserve congratulations 33 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:58,660 too. We have overcome the same obstacles, so they understand more or less the same, 34 00:04:58,759 --> 00:05:04,000 the problems that I am talking about here. Now that high school is ending, a period of 35 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,779 our lives is being closed. A time that we will remember as one of the hardest, especially 36 00:05:08,779 --> 00:05:14,000 the material to trust and a period where we changed from being kids who came from 37 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,740 the elementary school to adults who are looking for work at university and thinking 38 00:05:18,740 --> 00:05:24,079 about what they want to work in. We have become more mature and of course 39 00:05:24,079 --> 00:05:28,240 in this period of six years we have changed a lot since we were 40 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:33,680 12 until now when we are 18 and in a far future we will remember this period 41 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:40,000 thinking my god how stupid it was when I was 15 or 16 even I think that we have 42 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,439 that feeling now and that's a symptom of the change we have experienced in these 43 00:05:45,439 --> 00:05:48,980 times it's very difficult to know where we are going to be in four years for 44 00:05:48,980 --> 00:05:53,420 example maybe we will have finished our studies by this time and we will be 45 00:05:53,420 --> 00:05:59,540 looking for a job maybe we will still be studying or who knows maybe we will be 46 00:05:59,540 --> 00:06:06,420 we would be looking for a house because we are becoming independent uncertainty is very normal 47 00:06:06,420 --> 00:06:10,699 in this period of our lives because every decision we are making in this time will 48 00:06:10,699 --> 00:06:16,980 determine what our lives be like especially the status we want to have and the job we want to 49 00:06:16,980 --> 00:06:23,639 get so we have to think about it carefully but by now we cannot know the certain future time 50 00:06:23,639 --> 00:06:31,860 will tell as a conclusion I'm very happy about finishing high school yeah these 51 00:06:31,860 --> 00:06:37,500 years have been very useful to know what I want to study and what I want what I 52 00:06:37,500 --> 00:06:44,279 want to work in something related with business and now that the decision is 53 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:49,579 made the objective is just to make it real and that will start after after the 54 00:06:49,579 --> 00:06:59,319 summer thank you for listening well hi everybody i'm going to start my speech with my favorite 55 00:06:59,319 --> 00:07:07,000 quote that has helped me in all this year in the sporting and academy skills i fail over and over 56 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:14,680 and over again in my life and that is why isaac said you guys do you know who is michael jordan 57 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:33,680 From my point of view, I think that it helps you to your best things and to have more self-confidence. 58 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:39,680 I would like to thank my parents for the support they have put on me all along these years. 59 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:47,680 and I start schools on Alonabo because they have always been supporting and encouraging me to keep improving. 60 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,680 Is it true, Thea? 61 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:04,680 From them, I have learned that when you want something that is difficult, you need to strive and you don't stop until you get it. 62 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:21,060 Thanks to all my friends for their support and the unforgettable moments together, and the ones we still have to live. Thanks to all the teachers that I have known, especially those who are ready to retire, because some of them were the best for me. 63 00:08:21,060 --> 00:08:35,059 I remember that the best event that I have experienced this year took place the last year when I was selected to go to New York with people from six different countries. 64 00:08:35,059 --> 00:08:39,059 It was an experience that I will never forget. 65 00:08:39,059 --> 00:08:44,059 Another very important memory I have occurred in third of ESSO. 66 00:08:44,059 --> 00:08:49,059 It was a hard year suffering with physics and chemistry. 67 00:08:49,059 --> 00:08:56,059 I failed and I went to September, but I passed it with an H. 68 00:08:56,059 --> 00:09:03,059 I remember that that summer was pretty hard for me, but with effort you can get everything. 69 00:09:03,059 --> 00:09:12,059 Other memories that are related to sports, such as titles won with the school football team or nowadays with my water polo team. 70 00:09:12,059 --> 00:09:20,059 I think that this year is still very hard for all of us because we need to study many things and we have very little time. 71 00:09:20,059 --> 00:09:25,059 But in general it seems that everyone is working a lot and we are not doing badly. 72 00:09:25,059 --> 00:09:32,059 I suppose that the change from the high school to the university is something that affects us and brings change to all of us 73 00:09:32,059 --> 00:09:38,059 because it will make us more mature and we will have more responsibilities. 74 00:09:38,059 --> 00:09:52,059 It's difficult to choose a degree because it will influence your future and we must not forget the mark at the university entrance exam because the university that we chose depends on this mark. 75 00:09:52,059 --> 00:09:59,059 It's true that now is a difficult time for education and it is a problem that the government needs to improve. 76 00:09:59,059 --> 00:10:09,059 In my opinion, the education needs more money to improve not only the buildings and education, but also on human resources. 77 00:10:09,059 --> 00:10:17,059 I think that in the future, when I finish my degree, I am going to prepare myself to be a policeman or firefighter. 78 00:10:17,059 --> 00:10:24,059 Because these are jobs where you can help people and you are not locked up in an office most of the time. 79 00:10:24,059 --> 00:10:32,059 It's not easy to get a job as either of them, but the test that you have to overcome can help you to get the rest of you. 80 00:10:32,059 --> 00:10:40,059 Kusama, I have gone through good and bad moments in recent years, but at the end everything has put a good end. 81 00:10:40,059 --> 00:10:46,059 And the teachers have tried to help us to feed our future as well as our parents. 82 00:10:46,059 --> 00:10:49,059 Thank you very much for your kind attention. 83 00:10:49,059 --> 00:11:00,169 Teachers, classmates, parents, good afternoon to everyone. Thank you for joining us on this very special day for all of us. 84 00:11:00,169 --> 00:11:05,169 Today is our great day, and who would have thought us we'd be here together? 85 00:11:05,169 --> 00:11:13,169 If we look back, we may see ourselves wondering what would I be like in five years' time, or what would I have managed to do? 86 00:11:13,169 --> 00:11:15,169 Will I be doing what I want to do now? 87 00:11:15,169 --> 00:11:24,169 Nevertheless, now many of us would like to return to those days and to live again those moments we have shared here in our high school. 88 00:11:24,169 --> 00:11:32,169 Do you remember that first day? Many of us were scared or intrigued because we didn't know what we were meddling into. 89 00:11:32,169 --> 00:11:36,169 From being the youngest at school to being the youngest at high school. 90 00:11:36,169 --> 00:11:40,169 And this situation is going to be repeated again when we go to the university. 91 00:11:40,169 --> 00:11:49,059 Step by step we reached the fourth grade of ESO. In my opinion, perhaps one of the best years. 92 00:11:49,059 --> 00:11:56,059 I have a lot of good memories of that year. The trip to Germany and Paris, the experience in the activity forum business, 93 00:11:56,059 --> 00:12:01,059 and therefore to have managed to meet the people who are my best friends now. 94 00:12:01,059 --> 00:12:08,059 The first grade of Bachillerato, racing with Poland, was perhaps the best experience that I have ever had in my life. 95 00:12:08,059 --> 00:12:17,259 Finally, we got to the last and hardest year, the second grade of Bachillerato, and we did the most feared work we had throughout the course, Selecira. 96 00:12:18,259 --> 00:12:24,460 We wouldn't have made it without you, teachers and parents, because we are who we are today, thanks to you. 97 00:12:25,419 --> 00:12:32,580 Thanks to our parents, who have put up with our bad mood and our stress. Without them, we would never have got here. 98 00:12:33,220 --> 00:12:36,779 Thank you for caring and worrying about us and about our future. 99 00:12:38,059 --> 00:12:46,389 Thanks to the teacher for helping us not only on academic matters, but in personal ones as well. 100 00:12:46,389 --> 00:12:51,389 And especially to our schoolmates, who understand us better than anyone else, 101 00:12:51,389 --> 00:12:56,389 with whom we have shared great moments in class, on trips and on discussions, 102 00:12:56,389 --> 00:13:00,389 and who have become our greatest support. 103 00:13:00,389 --> 00:13:03,389 Nothing is easy, everything is achieved with effort. 104 00:13:03,389 --> 00:13:06,389 In this moment, I feel sad and moved. 105 00:13:06,389 --> 00:13:17,389 Thanks for leaving our school, our teachers and friends, we would not see the same faces every day and because we are ending a beautiful stage in our lives. 106 00:13:18,389 --> 00:13:22,389 On the other hand, I feel very happy for all the new things which are waiting for us up there. 107 00:13:23,389 --> 00:13:27,389 New classmates, new friends, new great moments and a new life. 108 00:13:28,389 --> 00:13:33,389 And above all, to see that all our efforts in these six years have been worth it. 109 00:13:33,389 --> 00:13:39,919 Little by little we are making our dreams true. 110 00:13:39,919 --> 00:13:43,919 We've grown up to be the people that we have always wanted to. 111 00:13:43,919 --> 00:13:47,919 We should be proud of ourselves for being here today. 112 00:13:47,919 --> 00:13:51,919 If we look back, we will see all our achievements. 113 00:13:51,919 --> 00:13:55,919 We have overcome all the obstacles that were on the way to get to the sole desired goal. 114 00:13:55,919 --> 00:13:59,919 And now we can say, we made it! 115 00:13:59,919 --> 00:14:03,919 Today our ways separate after six years together. 116 00:14:03,919 --> 00:14:07,919 good luck to everyone in these new states. Thank you. 117 00:14:07,919 --> 00:14:13,299 This moment is very important for us because this ceremony 118 00:14:13,299 --> 00:14:17,299 is the end of a period we have spent in this high school. 119 00:14:17,299 --> 00:14:21,299 I'd like to thank everyone who has supported me during all this time 120 00:14:21,299 --> 00:14:25,299 and has helped me when I had difficulties in 121 00:14:25,299 --> 00:14:29,299 the high school. I'm particularly grateful for my parents 122 00:14:29,299 --> 00:14:33,299 who are always there for me. I also have to thank all the 123 00:14:33,299 --> 00:14:38,740 teacher I've had for teaching me many things and for what they do for every student who 124 00:14:38,740 --> 00:14:45,220 study here. There is a name that I'll never forget. When we went on a school trip to Paris 125 00:14:45,220 --> 00:14:50,840 and we went to visit the opera and teacher and two or three students got into the opera 126 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:56,899 and the rest of us did not see them. Enter and we went across the street and we got lost. 127 00:14:56,899 --> 00:15:04,899 Another school activity that I really enjoyed was the last year when we went to open tennis in Madrid. 128 00:15:04,899 --> 00:15:09,899 Because we were lucky, because we could enjoy a Rafa Nadal tennis match. 129 00:15:09,899 --> 00:15:16,899 And the best moment I had here was when in fourth of SOBD, fourth class businesses, 130 00:15:16,899 --> 00:15:22,899 a kind of internship which was a week where we were working in some companies. 131 00:15:22,899 --> 00:15:32,019 For me, a significant event was my first day at the high school, in first of ESO, because 132 00:15:32,019 --> 00:15:42,179 I could not imagine that I was there. Everything I saw that day was new for me. I think that 133 00:15:42,179 --> 00:15:48,500 it has been a great accomplishment for us to be here today and finish second in Pachillerato, 134 00:15:48,500 --> 00:15:54,399 it was a very difficult year with a lot of pressure and I think that if we can 135 00:15:54,399 --> 00:16:03,799 manage to get through this we can get through anything. This moment is very important for me because it means the end of a stage in my life. 136 00:16:03,799 --> 00:16:08,960 I think the next year at the university I will feel the same as on my first day 137 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:16,159 at the high school. New things, new people, new everything and I'm excited. I will 138 00:16:16,159 --> 00:16:27,159 I would like all my classmates to remember the good moment we have here and I would like them to remember our prom because it was such a special moment. 139 00:16:27,159 --> 00:16:34,159 The years I spent here have shown me what I really like to do and what my skills are. 140 00:16:34,159 --> 00:16:42,159 I hope everything I learned here will help me to do my best in my future job. 141 00:16:42,159 --> 00:16:49,159 In the future, I would like to finish my degree and get a job, have a family and enjoy the life as much as possible. 142 00:16:49,159 --> 00:17:01,159 To conclude, I will never change this year I have spent here for anything, because I have enjoyed them, because I met new people and I learned many things. 143 00:17:01,159 --> 00:17:08,160 I am very proud to finish this period in my life and start a new one. Thank you for your attention. 144 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:19,160 Hello everyone, it has been two years since I started studying here. 145 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:24,160 I cannot say that these years have been the best of my life, academically speaking. 146 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:29,160 But in some way, these two years have been really good because of the people that I have met here. 147 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:36,160 Giving this speech is really intimidating because there are a lot of things that I want to say in a short way. 148 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:41,160 I can remember my early years of school and kindergarten. 149 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:48,160 And the only worries that I had in those times were playing with my friends and just enjoying everything that I did. 150 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:54,160 I'm really grateful to all my former teachers that have taught me everything that I know, which is not quite much. 151 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,160 But I really want to thank them every effort that they have done with me. 152 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:02,160 And truly, I am where I am because of them. 153 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:09,160 First of all, I can say that I have really felt a part of this high school since the first day I came here. 154 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:15,180 Everyone here has been so nice that I do not really feel that I just came two years ago. 155 00:18:16,579 --> 00:18:24,819 Today, I really want to thank every friend that I have met here, every effort that they have done with me, and their patience with me. 156 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,519 And this is the real truth. Without their support, I could not be here. 157 00:18:31,579 --> 00:18:39,000 Also, I want to thank every teacher in this high school who have helped me in every question that I had, and they have always tried to solve it. 158 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:40,319 So, thank everyone. 159 00:18:42,079 --> 00:18:43,940 I remember my first day here. 160 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:50,859 I really knew a few people, and that fucking intimidated me in some way or another. 161 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,240 In the next day, I started talking with the people in my class. 162 00:18:56,019 --> 00:18:58,279 They seemed to be friendly, and in fact they were. 163 00:18:59,180 --> 00:19:04,500 These two years have been plenty of hard work, and at some points you could really feel stressed. 164 00:19:05,519 --> 00:19:08,779 Not just by your own nerves, because of the others too. 165 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:16,160 But with effort, some luck and some patience, all of you can pass through this quite easily. 166 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:25,430 As you all know, these years are not compulsory in your studies. There are lots of alternatives. 167 00:19:25,430 --> 00:19:32,430 But if you choose this path, all of you must know that without study, real hard study and hard work, 168 00:19:32,430 --> 00:19:39,430 there is no way that you can pursue your goals and in the future, doing whatever you want to do, 169 00:19:39,430 --> 00:19:45,430 you could remember these years and that every effort has rewards. 170 00:19:45,430 --> 00:19:52,430 Apart from expressing my gratitude, I would also like to tell you that these years are tough. 171 00:19:52,430 --> 00:20:02,430 And thinking about the future, if I could go back in time, I would make the effort to get better grades, study harder and make the effort. 172 00:20:02,430 --> 00:20:07,430 But this is the only advice that anyone can take from me. 173 00:20:07,430 --> 00:20:13,430 So believe me when I say that these two years are probably the most important years of your studies. 174 00:20:13,430 --> 00:20:18,430 So study hard and become the people that you would like to be in the future. 175 00:20:18,430 --> 00:20:22,430 And finally, to sum up, I just want to say one thing. 176 00:20:22,430 --> 00:20:25,430 Study hard and you will achieve your goals, 177 00:20:25,430 --> 00:20:30,430 which in my opinion is what teachers and everyone here are trying to make us achieve. 178 00:20:30,430 --> 00:20:32,430 Thank you for listening. 179 00:20:32,430 --> 00:20:48,309 Hello classmates. Today is an important day for us. As we gather here to celebrate this event, we are surrounded by all of the people who taught us and inspired us in our lives. 180 00:20:48,930 --> 00:21:01,069 Parents, friends and teachers. I remember when we all stayed together in this room six years ago. When we were young, I said we have just got out of bed. 181 00:21:01,069 --> 00:21:08,069 I see that most of us still look as sleepy as we did on that fateful day. 182 00:21:08,069 --> 00:21:12,069 To everyone who touched my life, I say thank you. 183 00:21:12,069 --> 00:21:15,069 To my parents, who stood by me all the time. 184 00:21:15,069 --> 00:21:20,069 To teachers, who tried to help me in my learning and supported me on hard times. 185 00:21:20,069 --> 00:21:26,069 To my friends, who were there for establishments and listened to my problems. 186 00:21:26,069 --> 00:21:30,069 And also, witnessed my happy moments every day. 187 00:21:30,069 --> 00:21:39,069 And thanks to all the kind people I have met during my time at Galileo Galilei, who were there with me in my difficult moments too. 188 00:21:39,069 --> 00:21:51,069 When I came to Galileo Galilei for the first time, I was very nervous because I had gone through difficult times in another school and I did not have many friends. 189 00:21:51,069 --> 00:21:57,069 But I felt comfortable with the new relationship with my new classmates I managed to have. 190 00:21:57,069 --> 00:22:04,069 I did not feel alone anymore and I enjoyed my classes and lessons a lot. 191 00:22:04,069 --> 00:22:13,069 And my teachers helped me to love going back to go to school, to learn my subjects and to start new projects such as our vegetable garden. 192 00:22:13,069 --> 00:22:18,069 At this point I have to say that we make our life and society. 193 00:22:18,069 --> 00:22:32,069 I know I will have nothing to worry about because I have been prepared to be a good person, an efficient worker and a brave person to solve all of the problems I might have. 194 00:22:33,069 --> 00:22:46,069 I have been taught to appreciate others, to tolerate different opinions which are different from mine and I am very happy to have started here, during these years with these teachers and classmates. 195 00:22:46,069 --> 00:22:53,069 However, the future is uncertain right now, because there are not many jobs, there are 196 00:22:53,069 --> 00:22:59,069 many people educated to get the same job, there are limited opportunities to start working 197 00:22:59,069 --> 00:23:05,069 in something you like, the salaries are really low in general, the majority of the jobs are 198 00:23:05,069 --> 00:23:10,069 part-time, there is corruption among our politicians, etc. 199 00:23:10,069 --> 00:23:16,250 For these reasons, I will try to prepare myself, mentally and physically, the best way I can. 200 00:23:17,289 --> 00:23:27,029 And I will try to make a better society, to work hard, to improve my skills, to be a better person, and to fight injustices when I see them. 201 00:23:27,029 --> 00:23:41,029 On the other hand, leaving high school is such a brutal transition, but I can see myself having a good life and working hard to fight for my culture, my family and my rights. 202 00:23:41,029 --> 00:23:55,029 We have to make our society a better place to live in. We cannot afford to lose a whole generation, my generation, without rights to decide what things we want to do and how we want to do them. 203 00:23:55,029 --> 00:24:07,029 So I'll commit to fighting for my own opinions, which I learned here, thanks to these high school values, and to decide the best way for me to construct this new society. 204 00:24:07,029 --> 00:24:14,029 I might start to study a degree, or I might go straight to work. That's not really important. 205 00:24:14,029 --> 00:24:20,029 Because on one way or the other, I will keep on improving and supporting others. 206 00:24:20,029 --> 00:24:31,890 I do not know what fate will have in store for us, but sincerely, and from the bottom of my heart, thank you all. Class of 2015, we did it! 207 00:24:31,890 --> 00:24:43,500 Good morning teachers, students, and classmates. 208 00:24:43,500 --> 00:24:53,500 When our teacher Anna told us that we were going to do our graduation speeches in front of San Galileo students, I remember Anna better. 209 00:24:53,500 --> 00:25:04,500 When I was in my first or second year in this high school, I think, yeah, my English class and I went to listen to some speeches by other students. 210 00:25:04,500 --> 00:25:23,339 I thought that maybe one day I could do something like that. As you can see on the listen, I am doing it now. Also, I can't believe how time has gone so fast because this another was five or six years ago and I am ten years old now. 211 00:25:23,339 --> 00:25:34,339 During this year in this high school, I have learned a lot of things and they have made me the person that I am right now. 212 00:25:34,339 --> 00:25:38,339 So, I want to tell you about some important moments. 213 00:25:38,339 --> 00:25:47,339 First of all, I want to say thank you to my family because they were, they are, and they will be my biggest support in my entire life. 214 00:25:47,339 --> 00:26:02,839 I am proud of the family I have because I have learned that the last thing that you can lose is hope. I am stronger than I could have imagined. If I want something, I have to try and get it. 215 00:26:02,839 --> 00:26:17,240 It is never too late to be what I expect to be. When I need something to believe in, I should start with myself. And I'm the only person that can make me happy. 216 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:27,240 But especially, I want to say my massive thanks to my mother because she is everything for me and she has always helped. 217 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:38,240 Also, I am grateful to my friends for each funny moment which have made me laugh and for being there in hard times. 218 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:49,240 Moreover, I don't forget my teachers because they have taught me that it is important to learn and to take advantage of each opportunity. 219 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,240 And they give me some good advice. 220 00:26:52,240 --> 00:27:03,240 What's more, they have organized trips around Europe so I could meet people from other cultures and I'm still in touch with. 221 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,240 For example, my Polish friend Karola. 222 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:14,240 And on that trip, I noticed that I'm the clumsiest person in the world, for sure. 223 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:20,240 For example, I fell down in the middle of the street, in the stairs, and others. 224 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:26,240 In my student life in the Galileo Galilei High School, I have had new experiences. 225 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:31,240 Academic success, personal accomplishments, and failures. 226 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:36,240 However, I'm happy and I want to start an important phase of my life. 227 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:45,240 In this moment, my big problem is what I'm going to do in the future, when I finish the University of Trent's exam. 228 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:53,240 And I know that I start this feeling with my classmates, because they are in the same situation as me. 229 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:59,240 But we have to think that we have done a good job during these two years. 230 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:06,240 Some people tell me that I have to do one half of the degree and others the other half. 231 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:13,240 It all depends on whatever degree chosen can offer you a good job because the Spanish situation is very bad. 232 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:19,240 So the government needs to improve job employment policies. 233 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,240 So it's very confusing. 234 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:42,579 For this reason, I strongly believe that if you like the Turing degree, for example, study. I don't care about people's opinion. Just worry about your happiness. Because you can have an incredible job, a beautiful house, and a amazing car, but they won't make you happy. 235 00:28:42,579 --> 00:28:48,579 So this is my advice for my partners and for the future generations. 236 00:28:48,579 --> 00:28:53,579 Finally, about my expectations for the future. 237 00:28:53,579 --> 00:28:59,579 Well, I don't have an exact idea, but I know what I like and what I want. 238 00:28:59,579 --> 00:29:03,579 Although, I sometimes change my opinion. 239 00:29:03,579 --> 00:29:11,579 For example, I remember when I was little, I wanted to be a doctor and then a veterinarian. 240 00:29:11,579 --> 00:29:18,579 But I choose social science, so my big dream about helping humans and animals is over. 241 00:29:18,579 --> 00:29:25,579 So I suppose that I will get a job which makes me happy, gives me new experiences, 242 00:29:25,579 --> 00:29:29,579 will last my life, and where I can meet people. 243 00:29:29,579 --> 00:29:32,579 This is what I'm looking for in a job. 244 00:29:32,579 --> 00:29:39,579 Also, I wish that I won't stop learning lessons about life, people, and other stuff. 245 00:29:39,579 --> 00:29:43,579 Moreover, I don't want to care about my future too much. 246 00:29:43,579 --> 00:29:47,579 I don't expect anything, but I'm open to everything. 247 00:29:47,579 --> 00:29:52,579 In conclusion, I'm very thankful for the people who have been beside me. 248 00:29:52,579 --> 00:30:00,579 I have had great and bad times in my life, which have turned me into a brave person. 249 00:30:00,579 --> 00:30:07,579 But now I'm beginning a new path and I want to walk it on my own way with all my bad luck. 250 00:30:07,579 --> 00:30:10,579 Thank you for listening to me, my graduation speech. 251 00:30:18,589 --> 00:30:23,589 Do you have the imagination to see yourself doing something truly exceptional? 252 00:30:23,589 --> 00:30:32,589 Well, to be honest, I have to admit that at the very beginning of this course I wasn't able to answer that question, 253 00:30:32,589 --> 00:30:38,589 because actually I couldn't see myself doing anything, anything exceptional. 254 00:30:38,589 --> 00:30:46,990 in fact i wasn't even able to see myself in the future i was lost confused and really afraid 255 00:30:46,990 --> 00:30:52,829 of what was coming up but i have always tried to have a happy smile on my face 256 00:30:54,190 --> 00:31:00,829 this year is being one of the most important years in our lives we are starting to make 257 00:31:00,829 --> 00:31:08,509 relevant decisions which will be the beginning of our new lives but far from hiding running away 258 00:31:08,589 --> 00:31:16,230 and being frightened we have to look up and move forward because if I had to 259 00:31:16,230 --> 00:31:21,410 choose one simple thing I have learned since I walked through the Galileo 260 00:31:21,410 --> 00:31:28,869 Galilei gates is do not give up ever seriously I'm not joking this is one of 261 00:31:28,869 --> 00:31:34,150 the best things you can ever do I joined high school two years ago and I was 262 00:31:34,150 --> 00:31:40,150 worried about not finding any friends, new teachers, new subjects, well in fact 263 00:31:40,150 --> 00:31:44,970 everything was new to me, so it can be said that I was worried about every 264 00:31:44,970 --> 00:31:51,309 simple thing, but it was not such a terrible thing, actually everyone was so 265 00:31:51,309 --> 00:31:57,670 kind, the teachers were there for anything we needed and the subjects, well 266 00:31:57,670 --> 00:32:03,670 subjects were not so different from what I expected, but nothing is so easy, is it? 267 00:32:03,670 --> 00:32:08,670 I have to admit that I'm thankful for my classmates. They might not be the perfect 268 00:32:08,670 --> 00:32:14,670 students, but they always want me to be happy and every single day they were there 269 00:32:14,670 --> 00:32:21,670 helping and making me smile, so thank you guys. The teachers were also very supportive 270 00:32:21,670 --> 00:32:26,670 and always that I needed help, they were there. And believe me when I tell you that 271 00:32:26,670 --> 00:32:31,670 that this makes the difference between good and not so good teachers. 272 00:32:31,670 --> 00:32:37,670 I may have learned about the subjects they have taught us, but not only that. 273 00:32:37,670 --> 00:32:41,670 I've learned about life, about how to be helpful. 274 00:32:41,670 --> 00:32:44,670 Time goes by so fast. 275 00:32:44,670 --> 00:32:48,670 It looks like yesterday when we were in our first bachelor today, 276 00:32:48,670 --> 00:32:52,670 or when we were making presentations in science. 277 00:32:52,670 --> 00:32:58,670 Even we went to the university in order to be explained about the degrees. 278 00:32:58,670 --> 00:33:02,670 And I think that despite all the afternoons we've been studying, 279 00:33:02,670 --> 00:33:07,670 all the exams we have made, all the pressures we have exposed to, 280 00:33:07,670 --> 00:33:11,670 we have enjoyed these years. 281 00:33:11,670 --> 00:33:15,670 When I was in other high school, I remember one teacher who said a sentence 282 00:33:15,670 --> 00:33:19,670 that I will always remember. It went like this. 283 00:33:19,670 --> 00:33:26,670 Do whatever you want to, and don't take life so seriously, because after all, nobody gets a life from it. 284 00:33:26,670 --> 00:33:33,670 So because of that, I decided to study what I have always loved, fine arts. 285 00:33:33,670 --> 00:33:41,670 Because in the end, I have decided to live the life I wanted, instead of the life the others wanted me to live. 286 00:33:41,670 --> 00:33:48,670 And who knows, maybe in the future, people from this graduation will be changing the world, making it better. 287 00:33:48,670 --> 00:33:53,670 We might have here to the next president, and we don't even know. 288 00:33:53,670 --> 00:33:58,670 What I want to say with this is that life changes, so do we. 289 00:33:58,670 --> 00:34:04,670 To conclude, I'll ask the same question that I asked you at the very beginning of this speech. 290 00:34:04,670 --> 00:34:10,670 Do you have the imagination to see yourself in the future doing something truly exceptional? 291 00:34:10,670 --> 00:34:17,670 Things may have changed since the first term started, and now I can answer that question. 292 00:34:17,670 --> 00:34:24,670 Yes, I can imagine myself doing something important, and actually, I will fight for it. 293 00:34:24,670 --> 00:34:27,670 So thank you guys for being such good listeners. 294 00:34:32,670 --> 00:34:35,670 But here we are, getting ready to graduate. 295 00:34:35,670 --> 00:34:39,670 We worked hard to get to this point, but we didn't do it by ourselves. 296 00:34:39,670 --> 00:34:43,670 We have to thank to our parents, teachers and classmates. 297 00:34:43,670 --> 00:35:07,849 To our parents, thank you for supporting us in more ways than it's possible to count. You helped us with homework, you paid for our education and listened to our complaints. You came to our place and attended our sporting events and clapped our dances. You understood our daily dramas. You tried to give us enough space to learn how to do our things for ourselves. Thank you, man, for all you have given to me. 298 00:35:07,849 --> 00:35:23,449 To our teachers, thank you for taking the time to explain assignments, sometimes repeatedly because we weren't paying attention. You allowed us to come to our classroom after school for extra help when you couldn't have gone home to spend time with your family and friends. 299 00:35:23,449 --> 00:35:29,449 Thank you especially for Ruben, our math teacher, who isn't here today. 300 00:35:29,449 --> 00:35:35,449 My dear classmates, we have been here for two long years and now it's time to leave. 301 00:35:35,449 --> 00:35:42,449 How did it all go so fast? We began high school as children but we are living here as adults. 302 00:35:42,449 --> 00:35:47,449 Now we stand here ready to graduate and move forward in the world. 303 00:35:47,449 --> 00:35:50,449 A new adventure begins here, it begins today. 304 00:35:50,449 --> 00:36:03,449 Mahatma Gandhi once says, life as if you were to die tomorrow, learn as if you were to lie forever, don't wait until tomorrow to do what you can do today. And so we did. 305 00:36:03,449 --> 00:36:15,449 We have been working hard for these two years and now here we are, dressing smart clothes, wearing well prepared hairstyles and getting nervous because of university entrance exams. 306 00:36:15,449 --> 00:36:23,449 This last year will determine our lives. Our future depends on our marks, but I have to remind you one thing. 307 00:36:23,449 --> 00:36:30,449 We may not have the power to change the world, but we have the power to try to achieve what we want on our own. 308 00:36:30,449 --> 00:36:34,449 My challenge is to do what I can to reach my goals. 309 00:36:34,449 --> 00:36:40,449 Some people say that high school is the best time of your life, but to be honest, 310 00:36:40,449 --> 00:36:45,949 Some people, these are just the best years of our lives so far. 311 00:36:45,949 --> 00:36:53,449 University or professional courses are waiting for us, so let's make the last effort and then enjoy our holidays. 312 00:36:53,449 --> 00:36:59,949 To sum up, I have to show my gratitude again to most of the opportunities we have been given. 313 00:36:59,949 --> 00:37:07,449 The next step is to go into the world with the intention of making it a better place for the generations that follow us. 314 00:37:07,449 --> 00:37:12,449 Thank you teachers, thank you parents and family for the support you have given to us. 315 00:37:17,210 --> 00:37:22,210 Hi everyone. It seems that it was like yesterday when I started the high school, 316 00:37:22,210 --> 00:37:26,210 looking at the university as something which was very far from me. 317 00:37:26,210 --> 00:37:32,210 But now I notice that time flies and the child that I was once has become an adult. 318 00:37:33,210 --> 00:37:35,210 Especially in this moment of my educational life, 319 00:37:35,210 --> 00:37:41,309 and life, I want to emphasize the importance which these last years have had to me. My 320 00:37:41,309 --> 00:37:48,650 family, my friends, and my teachers have helped me to become the person I am today. What can 321 00:37:48,650 --> 00:37:53,750 I say about my family? They have assisted me during all these years, particularly my 322 00:37:53,750 --> 00:38:00,570 brother, who has been helping me in mathematics since I started high school. My friends have 323 00:38:00,570 --> 00:38:03,909 support me in my worst moments. 324 00:38:03,909 --> 00:38:06,869 When I failed an exam or when I was in trouble with someone, 325 00:38:06,869 --> 00:38:09,070 they were always there. 326 00:38:09,070 --> 00:38:12,409 Also, I have to mention my teachers, 327 00:38:12,409 --> 00:38:15,449 who made me understand many aspects of life 328 00:38:15,449 --> 00:38:18,769 and gave me all this most valuable knowledge. 329 00:38:18,769 --> 00:38:21,449 Some of them have made me love the subjects, 330 00:38:21,449 --> 00:38:23,869 despite the fact that these subjects were 331 00:38:23,869 --> 00:38:26,329 very difficult to understand. 332 00:38:26,329 --> 00:38:29,730 I have been studying in this high school only for two years. 333 00:38:29,730 --> 00:38:35,230 But since the very first moment, my classmates and my teachers have made me feel like a member of the group. 334 00:38:35,869 --> 00:38:39,750 There are so many hilarious anecdotes that I can't remember all. 335 00:38:40,210 --> 00:38:42,469 But there is one which I will remember forever. 336 00:38:43,389 --> 00:38:47,389 It happened last year during the 24 Hours Festival. 337 00:38:48,110 --> 00:38:53,449 I was with my team taking part in a competition which consisted of taking water from one place to another, 338 00:38:53,869 --> 00:38:55,329 with a towel covering our eyes. 339 00:38:55,809 --> 00:38:58,929 We finished it shocking wet, laughing on the floor. 340 00:38:58,929 --> 00:39:21,349 It was fantastic. My feelings now are very varied. I feel excited because of the university experience, nervous because of the graduation, enthusiastic because I want to start studying what I want, and nostalgic because I leave behind many amazing moments that happened in high school. 341 00:39:21,349 --> 00:39:31,349 Today I am taking a very important step in my life. I will always remember this moment and I think that my classmates will do the same. 342 00:39:31,349 --> 00:39:41,349 You only graduate high school once and it means that you have become an adult and you start your adventure in the wide world. 343 00:39:41,349 --> 00:39:53,659 In the future, I expect to become the person who I want to be. 344 00:39:53,659 --> 00:39:59,659 Obviously, I have to grow up mentally, but this is one of the parts of becoming an adult. 345 00:39:59,659 --> 00:40:05,659 During high school, I have changed my decisions about where I want to study. 346 00:40:05,659 --> 00:40:16,659 For instance, at first I wanted to be a vet, then a biologist, and now I don't really know if my marks will be high enough to study medicine. 347 00:40:16,659 --> 00:40:25,659 Some teachers have taught me lessons that will be very important in my life. For instance, when you study hard, you receive rewards. 348 00:40:25,659 --> 00:40:28,659 This lesson is the most valuable one for me. 349 00:40:28,659 --> 00:40:37,659 High school has taught me that when you want something, you have to fight for it, because nobody is going to give you anything for free. 350 00:40:37,659 --> 00:40:50,659 In conclusion, I think that in life in general, and especially in this moment of our lives, we have to look back to our past experiences in high school in order to confront the future successfully. 351 00:40:50,659 --> 00:40:55,659 There is a large path to continue, and we have to walk it one round. 352 00:40:55,659 --> 00:40:58,659 Thank you for listening and congratulations! 353 00:40:58,659 --> 00:41:06,579 But sooner and sooner it became one of our worst nightmares. 354 00:41:06,579 --> 00:41:09,579 Well, actually that's not completely true. 355 00:41:09,579 --> 00:41:18,579 Little by little we got more self-confident and as the course passed we felt better prepared for this scary exam. 356 00:41:18,579 --> 00:41:25,579 On the one hand it's true that at the beginning we were still behaving as if it was summer. 357 00:41:25,579 --> 00:41:34,579 And in my case, this feeling of laziness has not totally gone away, but it has been reduced, fortunately. 358 00:41:34,579 --> 00:41:42,579 However, it didn't happen out of the blue, of course. It required a lot of effort. 359 00:41:42,579 --> 00:41:48,579 On the other hand, that effort was shown by all the achievements I was getting, 360 00:41:48,579 --> 00:41:51,639 Obviously, to keep with the good results, you need motivation. 361 00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:54,840 And that may be the key point of everything. 362 00:41:56,159 --> 00:42:00,260 That motivation is the only thing that keeps you working hard to get your goals. 363 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:07,139 And it's obvious that to get to that point and to stay there, you need to be supported by your relatives and friends, 364 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,480 mainly if they are going through the same as you. 365 00:42:12,420 --> 00:42:14,440 So I want to thank all of them. 366 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:24,440 I want to thank my grandfather, who gives me great advice for life, and also to the teachers who have done their best to prepare us as well as possible, 367 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:30,440 even if that meant spending extra hours teaching us or having some kind of review class. 368 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:38,440 Although I have been in this school just for two years, I have many good memories. 369 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:44,440 I have to say that I feel very lucky for the people I have met, especially for my classmates. 370 00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:48,440 My tasks and experiences truly work out. 371 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:54,440 Right now, I can say that all the expectations I had for this course have been proven wrong. 372 00:42:54,440 --> 00:43:03,440 Of course, it has been a hard year, but not as long as I thought, and in some ways I will probably miss it when it ends. 373 00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:10,440 I have to say that this year has helped me a lot as a student and as a person. 374 00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:17,440 I am totally convinced that every failure has made me stronger and I have learned from many mistakes. 375 00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:24,440 So I can say I am prepared for every problem that arises in my future. 376 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:31,750 So I wish to all of you the best for your lives and thanks for your attention. 377 00:43:34,750 --> 00:43:45,750 It seems incredible how fast time goes, how one day we are learning how to read or write and the other we are preparing for an exam that could determine our futures. 378 00:43:45,750 --> 00:43:53,750 It hasn't been a long time since I first arrived at this high school. I admit that at first I was a little bit scared. 379 00:43:53,750 --> 00:43:59,750 It was the first time I had moved into a new high school and the fact that I am so shy didn't help. 380 00:43:59,750 --> 00:44:11,750 I remember my first day here. It was two years ago. I worried about everything, the best clothes for that day, which shoes went best with those pants, or even my hairstyle. 381 00:44:11,750 --> 00:44:16,750 I was worried about the kind of classmates I would have, and the same goes for the teachers. 382 00:44:16,750 --> 00:44:24,750 But when I started to discover what people were like, to my surprise, all my worries disappeared, and I want to thank them for lots of things. 383 00:44:24,750 --> 00:44:30,710 But first of all, I want to thank everybody who has come today, an important and long 384 00:44:30,710 --> 00:44:36,130 day for all of us, a day in which we see in some way freedom, in which we finish a stage 385 00:44:36,130 --> 00:44:42,090 of our lives to start another one, a day in which we say goodbye to teachers, classmates 386 00:44:42,090 --> 00:44:47,750 and friends we have been seeing for hours every day for a part of our lives. 387 00:44:47,750 --> 00:44:52,789 Firstly, I want to thank my teachers for their interest and patience with all of us, thanks 388 00:44:52,789 --> 00:44:57,550 to those who have made these years easier, but also to those that have made them more 389 00:44:57,550 --> 00:45:02,130 difficult. I want to thank my classmates, some of them good friends, because of their 390 00:45:02,130 --> 00:45:08,730 help during these years and to make lessons funnier. We have indeed shared lots of things, 391 00:45:09,170 --> 00:45:14,769 lots of experiences together, good and bad things, and both, smiles and tears. Thanks 392 00:45:14,769 --> 00:45:19,489 for the effort, sincerity and friendship, and especially I want to congratulate them 393 00:45:19,489 --> 00:45:24,889 for coming up here, because we all know that it hasn't been easy, but I hope that the effort 394 00:45:24,889 --> 00:45:32,670 has been worth it. I will never forget them, because all of us have left a mark here. And 395 00:45:32,670 --> 00:45:37,469 finally, I want to thank my family, my parents and friends. They were a very big support 396 00:45:37,469 --> 00:45:42,849 for me, especially my parents, who I have to thank them for everything. And I am who 397 00:45:42,849 --> 00:45:47,550 I am because of them. They believe in me and encourage me to get everything they think 398 00:45:47,550 --> 00:45:53,030 I could, and they still do. From them, I have learned that if you want something, you must 399 00:45:53,030 --> 00:45:58,309 work on it, and with effort, you will achieve everything you want. Thanks for teaching me 400 00:45:58,309 --> 00:46:03,929 that life is difficult, but nothing is impossible. So now, comes the time to say goodbye to everyone 401 00:46:03,929 --> 00:46:09,110 and leave this high school, which has seen us grow and change every day. A place full 402 00:46:09,110 --> 00:46:14,730 of good and bad moments. It's time to try to move on into new states in our lives. It's 403 00:46:14,730 --> 00:46:20,730 It's time to see new faces, to make new friends and to start to enjoy freedom without forgetting our past. 404 00:46:20,730 --> 00:46:21,730 Thank you. 405 00:46:28,050 --> 00:46:34,050 When I think of all the difficulties an ordinary person has to overcome in this world, 406 00:46:34,050 --> 00:46:38,050 I realize that determination is not always enough. 407 00:46:38,050 --> 00:46:44,050 Something from my point of view I always consider very important is the following. 408 00:46:44,050 --> 00:46:55,050 It's impossible to make a wish come true if you never do anything about it, but also sometimes you need the help of others. 409 00:46:55,050 --> 00:47:08,050 For that reason, I would like to thank my mother for teaching me the proper way of studying when I was little, as well as a large number of values which make me the person I am today. 410 00:47:08,050 --> 00:47:13,050 My sister, for teaching me the importance of sharing things. 411 00:47:13,050 --> 00:47:18,050 My grandmother, for taking care of us while our parents were walking. 412 00:47:18,050 --> 00:47:23,050 And my father, for pointing out what I should never do. 413 00:47:23,050 --> 00:47:29,050 Thanks to all of you for being there when I needed you the most. 414 00:47:29,050 --> 00:47:36,050 I would also like to thank the teachers for their patience and for answering questions related to their subjects. 415 00:47:36,050 --> 00:47:42,050 Thank you for what you have taught me and for always being there. 416 00:47:42,050 --> 00:47:49,050 And of course, thank you to my classmates and my friends, because apart from being nice people, 417 00:47:49,050 --> 00:47:58,050 they saw that the work done all together as a team has better results than the work done individually. 418 00:47:58,050 --> 00:48:09,050 I still remember choosing this school after finishing secondary in the school where I had been for ten years, since primary. 419 00:48:09,050 --> 00:48:19,050 So it's not strange that my first day here I felt nervous. But nowadays I know that my choice wasn't wrong at all. 420 00:48:19,050 --> 00:48:26,019 After two years we are at the beginning of a new path. 421 00:48:26,019 --> 00:48:37,019 During all these years, we have been given the grounds so as not get lost in a world in which we may not have as much help as we have had so far. 422 00:48:38,019 --> 00:48:52,019 Moreover, what we have learned will be useful in our day-to-day life, in our hobbies, in our trips, and much more, because now we have the tools to understand the world we live in. 423 00:48:52,019 --> 00:49:00,019 And what's more, in all these years we have discovered that Stalin is not so bad. 424 00:49:00,019 --> 00:49:09,019 It's a wonderful experience in which, following your curiosity, you can try to learn about things you know nothing about. 425 00:49:09,019 --> 00:49:16,019 That's what I have planned for my future, because life is full of new discoveries. 426 00:49:16,019 --> 00:49:22,639 Now, our machine is ready for a problem, and I've told you everything you need to begin your next life. 427 00:49:23,559 --> 00:49:27,559 That's what we need to follow our new path. Thank you. 428 00:49:32,820 --> 00:49:39,340 Today is the day to tell you my story. It is the day to tell you about my feelings. 429 00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:44,000 Today is the day in which I say that I will miss all of you. 430 00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:49,960 I will miss this place. This place that makes me feel like in my own home. 431 00:49:50,219 --> 00:49:56,219 Moreover, the truth is that accents make the heart grow further. 432 00:49:56,219 --> 00:49:59,219 I remember the first time I came to the iSchool. 433 00:49:59,219 --> 00:50:02,219 I was scared about my new life. 434 00:50:02,219 --> 00:50:04,219 I had left the school behind. 435 00:50:04,219 --> 00:50:10,219 I was scared that somebody could make fun of me as it happened at the school. 436 00:50:10,219 --> 00:50:12,219 I was very introverted. 437 00:50:12,219 --> 00:50:17,219 However, because of this, I had a new classmate sitting next to me. 438 00:50:17,219 --> 00:50:21,219 She was the first person in the iSchool that asked me about myself. 439 00:50:21,219 --> 00:50:26,219 That year, I started to write poems and read some drama books. 440 00:50:26,219 --> 00:50:31,219 My mom was worried about me and she decided to talk with Maryasum. 441 00:50:31,219 --> 00:50:34,219 She was the tutor I had that year. 442 00:50:34,219 --> 00:50:41,219 My mom and Maryasum came to the conclusion that I should join the drama school group to open my heart. 443 00:50:41,219 --> 00:50:44,219 At first, I did not talk. 444 00:50:44,219 --> 00:50:51,219 My drama partners were 2 years older than me. I did not know them, but they were friendly. 445 00:50:51,219 --> 00:51:02,219 In terms of ESO and later, I got closer to some girls. My drama partners and my friends became very important for me. 446 00:51:02,219 --> 00:51:09,219 I went from being interactive to talking with everybody and make a lot of friends. 447 00:51:09,219 --> 00:51:23,000 I would like to express my gratitude to them and my family. My mom was always for me when I needed her, although my father hadn't wanted to know anything about me since 2011. 448 00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:31,000 Furthermore, my uncle and my aunt took care of me every time my mom was at the hospital. 449 00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:38,000 They were like my second parents. Also, my grandparents asked about my staff. 450 00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:42,000 We are a close family, even in the worst situations. 451 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:50,000 Now, I am reading this speech. I am aware that in a few days I will not be here with all of you. 452 00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:58,000 I am scared. I do not like living in the places that I love. However, that is life. 453 00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:04,000 When somebody is born, somebody dies. When we leave the high school, other students arrive. 454 00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:10,000 That is the cycle of life. Nevertheless, now I have to think about my future. 455 00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:16,000 What would I like to be? I would like to be a teacher. I love children. 456 00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:23,000 I will learn many things from them. Also, on the one hand, I would love to become an actress. 457 00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:29,000 I really enjoy acting. I will be able to be wherever I want. 458 00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:36,000 On the other hand, I know that I will not probably have many future prospects being an actress. 459 00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:39,000 That makes me feel angry. 460 00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:47,000 Our decisions will depend on the country's situation, our family's situation and other variables. 461 00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:52,000 We will always be determined by outside factors. 462 00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:57,000 In conclusion, we came to the high school to learn more than information. 463 00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:07,000 We learned how to be kind. We learned values, which will be useful for the rest of our lives. 464 00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:14,000 We were educated by our teachers, our parents, and also our friends. 465 00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:18,000 If I have to finish with a sentence, I would say, 466 00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:21,000 What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. 467 00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:27,000 My advice, remember your past. Learn about it every day. 468 00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:32,000 Live each minute of your life loving the people who you care. 469 00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:36,820 Be a loyal person, and you will be surrounded by people that love you. 470 00:53:37,460 --> 00:53:40,840 Thank you for listening to my story, my thoughts, and my feelings.
