My grad speech:
"If it weren't for one, my para-ed assistant in high school and secondly my mom and dad, I would not be standing up here with you guys. To everyone at (redacted): I hope I've given you some joy, laughs, and maybe some knowledge along the way that has been added to your day. A lot of you have been supportive of me over these eight long and arduous years, and I leave this college with great pride, which has been quite a wonderful time, and all these people, whom you will all see their faces, everypony who are my friends, family and brothers, it's because of them, my time at (redacted) has been that has been the great joy it has. I thank you, I bless you, goodbye my friends."

Yeah, I'm a Foundation Degree ICT graduate. It was a long 5 year quest from leaving school with no qualifications to achieve what I wanted. After 9 years of unemployment, there's possibility but at least great achievement made whatever, if ever the future may bring.

Nice! :D I've completed two years of college so far but no degree yet. I was taking all these random classes that weren't towards a degree. I'm thinking I'll get an associates in paralegal studies now. I love law and researching, so maybe that'll be the perfect fit. We'll see though.

Of course, the end of my speech would've been accompanied with a balloon drop. :)

I have not graduated yet, but I'm currently going for an associates' degree for Occupational Therapy Assistant. Been a part-time student for four-five years now and I'm almost done. I just need to apply and finish for the OTA program, and if I do that and passed as well as become a full-time student. I can expect to graduated in two years. 8)
