(I am about to graduate from middle school, and we got an assignment to post a speech on our blogs, so here!)
Here we are, getting ready to go to high school. We are all now looking behind in the past while still looking at the future. Planning on what we are going to do with our lives. But, I have just one message to tell you that involves to everyone in this room. Make something new. If this is the one thing that you remember about me, that would be great.
In this world that we are living in today, people tell us multiple times that we should get some sort of job that we hear constantly. When we ask their reasoning behind it, they say, "It has the best payment," or "You will have a good life." The people that want to have these jobs are excited to hear this, but the others? We should all know that we are not going to live forever that we are all going to die one day. There are two types of people, the ones who get a miserable job with great payment but end up spending only their last years of life in luxury and satisfaction. The other type of people, they pick a job that they enjoy to do. Something they can go to every single day, and look back at it to say, "I was proud of this!" This job brings all types of problems, maybe it won't. I know that its better than doing something you hate with the knowing fact that you will be doing this for most of your life.
I don't want that to happen to anyone in this room, anyone. Every single person on this planet deserves to have a great life. Especially when our world is filled with despair growing across each continent. You knows? Maybe we are the generation who puts a stop to great problems? Even though, their is one small problem that everyone has, including myself. We shut all the different views of the world, and only look at the world from where we want to see it. Sometimes we can't acknowledge problems, and even our own. Examples of this is sexism, racism, homophobia, discrimination against religion and beliefs. All caused because we seem to can't look beyond our own ideals. That gets in the way of all of us seeing satisfaction in the end of our lives. It leaves the world a little bit closer to breaking.
Make something new means to break boundaries, do something that can make people's and your life better. Whether it is being a doctor, teacher, librarian, singer, animator, make-up artist, actor, anything! That is what we should all remember! And this, my friends, is a moment of satisfaction of growing up. We get to make our place with the world thanks to the friends and families that we know today. Thanks to the parents the wake us up every morning to got to school. Let's enjoy our moment of satisfaction.
