Dear stu\u00addents, dear tea\u00adchers, dear parents,<\/div>\n
The\u00adse are the first lines of Sam Cook\u2019s song \u201eWon\u00adderful World\u201c. And for some of us tho\u00adse lines tur\u00adned into rea\u00adli\u00adty when we, 120 stu\u00addents all tog\u00ade\u00adther, ente\u00adred Lin\u00adcoln High school about six years ago. We\u2019\u00adve all expe\u00adri\u00aden\u00adced exhaus\u00adting, dis\u00adap\u00adpoin\u00adting and cum\u00adber\u00adso\u00adme moments. The\u00adre were moments, when things see\u00admed to be over\u00adwhel\u00adming. Argu\u00adments with tea\u00adchers, quar\u00adrels with fri\u00adends and class\u00adma\u00adtes, poor results \u2026 all this shaped our days from Mon\u00adday to Fri\u00adday and made school an unp\u00adlea\u00adsant duty.<\/div>\n
But if the\u00adre had been only such moments, we would\u00adn\u2019t be here today; we would\u00adn\u2019t cele\u00adbra\u00adte the achie\u00adve\u00adments of 120 stu\u00addents, we would\u00adn\u2019t be hap\u00adpy that all of us will lea\u00adve this room as gra\u00addua\u00adtes tonight. We can look back at a won\u00adderful time and rea\u00adli\u00adze that \u201ethe good things come with the bad ones\u201c and that school often was also a pleasure.<\/div>\n
When peo\u00adp\u00adle, who have alre\u00ada\u00addy left high school, told me that their time at school had been a superb expe\u00adri\u00adence and that they missed it, I could\u00adn\u2019t belie\u00adve it. But now I see their point and I know that I will soon miss a lot of things: our school trips and pro\u00adjects, working tog\u00ade\u00adther and mee\u00adting my fri\u00adends every day. At least most of MY les\u00adsons were fun and the say\u00ading \u201ewe learn for life\u201c often appli\u00aded to me. I think we grew up and tur\u00adned into more matu\u00adre per\u00adso\u00adna\u00adli\u00adties. Now it\u2019s up to us what we do with our lives. We are now at an important stage of life. We would\u00adn\u2019t have come so far wit\u00adhout help and sup\u00adport. So it is high time to thank all our tea\u00adchers for their dedi\u00adca\u00adti\u00adon, pati\u00adence, open\u00adness and their effort to turn our time tog\u00ade\u00adther into a pleasure.<\/div>\n
Dear fel\u00adlow stu\u00addents, I wish ever\u00adyo\u00adne the best for the future, suc\u00adcess in accom\u00adpli\u00adshing his or her aims. Let us look into the future with con\u00adfi\u00addence, with self-esteem and trust in all what we do. We have come so far, let\u2019s go fur\u00adther! We should take to heart that \u201ethe one who fights can lose but the one who gives up, has alre\u00ada\u00addy lost\u201c.<\/div>\n
I\u2019m loo\u00adking for\u00adward to mee\u00adting all of you at the class reuni\u00adon and wish ever\u00ady\u00adbo\u00addy a nice evening! All the best \u2013 class of 2008!<\/div>\n
