Welcome To Compass Academy: A Student’s Inspirational Speech For The 2016 Completion Ceremony
By: Reese (student)
Welcome to Compass Academy. I hope you are having a wonderful time with your children and a wonderful day. First off I wanted to say how important this school is to a lot of us right now. This has been the only place, I myself, can escape the stuff I’ve been dealing with at home and other places. I know everyone here isn’t in the same position as me but I guarantee all the boys find some joy out of this place. Since I’ve been here I’ve improved in so many ways. I came with a poor attitude and now I’m leaving with a good one. One of the only reasons I turned it around was because of the desire I got to change. But, the only way I got that desire was from the time I put into this place and the time everyone else put in. In my mind, it was teamwork. I want to thank my school for that one day I had because it changed me to make every day good now. I also want to thank my Mom for everything she has put up with lately. You are a strong woman. Now the staff; Gidaro, Dietterick, Eck, Williams, Haney, and Britto. You guys have to be the most patient people I ever met. All of you showed me something to not give up for. I truly thank you for that. God bless your souls.
Thank you Reese for your accomplishments and helping Compass Academy be a positive learning community.
