Graduation Speech

My teacher was asking us what we thought was different about Jeffconet. Jeffconet is an oppurtunity that has helped me become who I truely am. All of us students came here wanting one thing, and that was to graduate! But we are fortunate and on our journey to graduation, we got to learn more about ourselves, our peers, and our teachers. When I came to Jeffconet, I didn't know what to expect and I was a little nervous. It took everyone a while to get to know each other and get comfortable, but once that happened, I met some really amazing people. Now, my teachers, they are some of the most phenomenal people I have ever met! I definately wouldn't be standing here today if it wasn't for them. They aren't like your typical high school teachers, they are more than that. They give you so much support through everything, and want nothing more than for us to succeed. Some of my best memories here at Jeffconet, would have to be when I came in for Lab on Wednesday afternoons. I got to know the teachers personally and and even spend a little time with them.
I want to thank Ms.Larrenaga for everything she has done for me. Whenever I was having a bad day or was upset, she could always make me smile. Her classes were always such a blast and never boring. She had this way of teaching and getting her point across, that made her the magnificent teacher she is. She always told me how I could graduate and be successful, and she helped me become successful and made me a better person today.

  1. awwww you made me tear up! Thank you! This is some strong pre-writing. I need you to focus it more into an organized essay. Find a purpose and put that in the intro and then body paragraphs with points and then a conclusion. Find a few quotes to strengthen your claims.
