Hey everyone！
Fellow graduates，teachers，parents，and everyone joining us today.Can you believe it？We made it！
We survived the often bewildering sometimes frustrating.but undeniably exciting journey that is junior high.
Looking back，it feels like just yesterday we were wide-eyed newbies.navigating the maze of lockers and confusing class schedules.
Remember the first day trying to decipher which combination of locks belonged to which metal beast？Or the sheer terror of accidentally walking into the wrong classroom full of intimidating eighth graders？But junior high has been so much more than just locker malfunctions and class confusion.
It's been a time of immense growth a period where we started shedding our elementary school selves and began blossoming into the young adults we're becoming.
We've tackled new subjects explored different interests and maybe even learned a thing or two about ourselves along the way.
Think back to the nervous butterflies before that big science project presentation.Or the adrenaline rush during pep rallies.
cheering on our school with newfound pride.These moments the challenging and the exhilarating alike have shaped us.
They've pushed us out of our comfort zones.helped us discover hidden talents.and taught us valuable lessons about teamwork resilience.and the sheer power of a good pep song.
Of course，it wasn't always smooth sailing.
There were moments of feeling lost frustrated or even like we didn't quite fit in.
That's perfectly okay.
Junior high is a whirlwind of social change.
and it's natural to experience growing pains and grapple with finding your place.
But here's the secret：you're not alone in this.
Everyone here graduating alongside you has faced similar challenges.
We've all felt awkward at times.
unsure of where we belong.
But the beauty of this journey is the connections.
we build along the way.
A huge shout-out to our amazing teachers！

Now，let's talk about the future.
High school is looming on the horizon.
and it can seem daunting more classes，new faces.

Here's the thing to remember：we've conquered junior high。
