Any ideas on what to write for a graduation essay?

The speech/essay needs to be personal.  If you pick a topic that you are familiar with and then try to relate it to a topic that will face all you peers in the near future.  I assume that this is a speech that will be given at graduation ceremony, so try to make it 5-10 mins long.  If you have a favorite story about your school, maybe an event that occurred during a school function would be best, like a winning touch down or anything else that will bring the students together.  But, do not try to sound too mature or "out of your league."  Just try to keep it simple and down to earth.  Good Luck!!!!

This is very personal. Write anything that you sincerely feel and he'll like it. \nOk, to give you ideas, write congratulations on his achievement and that you're sure he will have many more in the future. That you're proud of him, adore him, for his hard work but especially by his big heart. That you're happy for him and for many people that he will help.\nActually you don't need to write with fancy words, just be yourself and I'm sure he'll be happy.\nBtw, Congratulation for your family. :)

You could include in your essay at least a little respect for the language that you are writing in. For me it is about finding the best or most appropriate word to describe the circumstance without resorting to an expletive or taking the language into the gutter. You could start by rephrasing your request for help. A simple “please help me,” as I have shown a total disregard to my teacher asked me to write an article on respect as an atonement for it. In the end, it will be meaningless, if you ask someone else to do the work for you. You can only move forward as a human being if you learn to respect those who have done so much to educate you. From the person who cleans the classroom, to the head of the school or college you should treat all people with kindness and respect. It is for you to learn how to be the best human being that you can. One day you will be an adult and I hope that you will have tried to put this into practice or your world will be a very shallow place. This is only about two hundred words, but you know the reasons why you are to write the piece. I hope that you will undertake it in the right spirit.

To think of expectations, write a list of attributes you'd like your child to have once he graduates, and how a school can support these things.  Thumb through the dictionary and look up words that describe how you feel-you can also use s thesarus if you'd like to add in a few 'sparkly' words (not too many!).  Have your child come up with a list of what he wants out of school and maybe select the top three to embellish upon.  I couldn't find it now, but there are lists of 'action words' that are suggested for resumes- you can probably use the same list to describe your desires for your child's education.\n\nTo get you started, as a parent, you'd probably like a:\n\nSafe, caring school environment that encourages academic and personal growth.  You might also like a community where parent participation is encouraged and supported by faculty and staff.

Well, I gave a speech at my college graduation, and I tried to draw on life experiences not only I had, but a lot of other people graduating at the time had them, too.  Pick things that aren't just about you, but make sure you can incorporate them without make the whole speech about your life.  Mention people who helped get you (as a class) get you to where you are today.  The more you can relate it to your audience (which includes administrators, family, and your classmates), the more successful it will be.

Well, you could write about your decision to work full time after high school, the experience you gained and why you changed your mind and decided to apply to college. This could make a really good personal essay especially if you talk about what you learned from this experience and how you'll apply it to your student life at Eastern.\n\nYou could also write about why you want to go to Eastern...does it have a specific program you're interested in, the student life, the campus, etc.\n\nOr, talk about what makes you unique and how you'll bring diversity or a fresh perspective to Eastern.\n\nPersonally, I think talking about your year off school to work would make the best essay because it's the most personal and is a good opportunity to impress the admissions officer with talking about how the experience has made you grow as a person.\n\nAnyways, good luck and hope this helps!

I think you should do an article on how school is important in the "real world", for example...why learning to spell "magazine" and "quickly" may be important if you plan on working for a real magazine some day.\n\nThe articles you write now will be the tear sheets you submit for articles you submit to "real" magazines and to potential colleges!\n\nOther than that..I think an article on peer pressure could be interesting.

No.\n\nWrite your own essay.

Obviously, no one on Yahoo Answers went along on your school field trip, so, no one here can give you any specifics for your article.\n\nSo far as format is concerned, think of a snappy-sounding "headline" for your story. Buy a newspaper or two today and look at the way the articles in a real newspaper are set up. It's pretty much like a regular essay - there's a beginning, a middle, and an end (but not a "conclusion"-sounding one).\n\nNewspaper articles always stress the five things all people want to know - the who, the what, the where, the how, and the why. If you can cover all five of those points, you'll be able to compose a good article.\n\nMake sure it is neatly typed, is spell-checked, and contains proper sentence structure. If there are quotes from anybody, make sure to include proper punctuation. And last, but not least, learn your lesson about putting off assignments till the last minute. This will backfire almost every time. Good luck!

How about a blank book with a nice cover.  Bring a nice pen for the guests to write with.  Start off the book with a page of your hopes, wishes, advice for his/her future and best sentiments for your friend and then circulate it around for others to do the same or leave it on a table and ask others to contribute their gems of wisdom to it.  This could be a nice keepsake.  \n\nYou could also put some paper on each page as a place holder for a  photograph that you could take of each person at the party.  After the celebration,  put each contributor's photo on the page that they wrote to the graduate.
