Graduation Speech
To: The Senior Class of 2007.
This year has been the hardest year for all of us with all the college applications that we
had to fill out, and taking the SAT‘s and finishing the rest of our senior year. Who would
have known that our last year would have been this hard and stressful? This year as
seniors we have gone through a great deal of transformation, whether it was in our
appearance, our attitude or realizing that we are no longer kids and this is our first shot at
greatness. Whatever type of transformation we have made; we have made it for the better.
I would like to wish all the seniors an extreme amount of luck in college and your future
decisions. When you walk out of George Washington never forget about the long line of
wonderful teachers and staff at the High School of International Business and Finance
because I know they’ll never forget you. Good luck seniors, God bless.
There are a few people I would like to personally thank. I would like to thank all the AP’s
and the staff of the High School of Business and Finance especially.
Ms.Smith
The first person I would like to thank is Ms. Smith – Ms. Smith I want to thank you for
being the best English teacher. While most teachers would give up on a student who is
struggling with their education, you’ll spend all night and day to make sure that student
gets what they need. Ms. Smith, the reason why so many students and teachers love you
and look to you for help is because you’re the Mommy of the school, and like most
Mommies you give love and care and a good talking to when we are being bad. I’m going
to miss your personality, Ms, Smith. You are an extraordinary teacher and person.
That’s why I declare you as the most significant English teacher in my life. No other
Graduation Speech
teacher has made me work and think as hard as you have, and no other teacher has ever
made me want to wake up and get to school just so I can wait for your class to begin.
Mr.Alvarez
I want to thank you for being the best principal and a friend to me and all the other
students in this school. If Ms. Smith is the Mommy, then you are the Daddy of the
school, although sometimes, Mister, you’re a pain in the neck. Although, at times we
might bump heads with one another at the end of the day, everything you say stays within
us, and everything you do – it is for our benefit. And we appreciate that so much.
Guidance office,
Ms.Rojas/Ms. Quinones,
Thank you guys for listening and helping us within the course of the year. Ms.Quinones,
although you are new to the faculty and staff at IBF, you have truly been a pleasure to
work with and talk with. I hope you stick around for a long time. God bless you.
Ms.Miller/Ms.Taveras
Thank you both for being the two people who are the heart and soul of the school because
without you guys everything would be everywhere. You guys give love all the time.Even
when you don’t have to, you both go beyond your job. Ms. Miller, you are a very
important person to me because you treat me as if I were one of your own children
financially and emotionally. I love you so much. Ms.Taveras Thank you for everything
you have done this year.
Ms. Rosanna Rodriguez,
