My Graduation Day Speech - Prachi Thakur

I would like to thank all the Pestalozzi staff members who provided me education and all the facilities. Because of them, only I can be in this position. I also thank my teachers and friends who supported me in my difficult situation. Without them, I was nothing. They encouraged me whenever I tried to give up and were there for me every time. 

I don't have words to express my gratitude to them. I am really great full to you. Thank you for doing everything for me.

Thank you, god,

For not making me a fraud,

For helping me through my little pains,

You just kept pleasing me again and again.

I have a home,

My family has money to travel to Rome!

I can see and hear,

When I think of this, in front of me, you appear.

I can study, and I can feel,

I can have a tasty meal.

I am healthy,

Thank god I am not nasty.

I can see a new day,

I can play!

I go to a beautiful school,

Which is really so cool.

I can do so much, yet I ask for more,

I already have a lot, and I don't need anymore!
