i am honored to address you tonight. on behalf of the graduating masters and doctoral students of washington university's school of engineering and applied science, i would like to thank all the parents, spouses, families, and friends who encouraged and supported us as we worked towards our graduate degrees. i would especially like to thank my own family, eight members of which are in the audience today. i would also like to thank all of the department secretaries and other engineering school staff members who always seemed to be there when confused graduate students needed help. and finally i would like to thank the washington university faculty members who served as our instructors, mentors, and friends.

as i think back on the seven-and-a-half years i spent at washington university, my mind is filled with memories, happy, sad, frustrating, and even humorous.

tonight i would like to share with you some of the memories that i take with me as i leave washington university.

i take with me the memory of my office on the fourth floor of lopata hall - the room at the end of the hallway that was too hot in summer, too cold in winter, and always too far away from the women's restroom. the window was my office's best feature. were it not for the physics building across the way, it would have afforded me a clear view of the arch. but instead i got a view of the roof of the physics building. i also had a view of one corner of the roof of urbauer hall, which seemed to be a favorite perch for various species of birds who alternately won perching rights for several weeks at a time. and i had a nice view of the physics courtyard, noteworthy as a good place for watching people run their dogs. it's amazing how fascinating these views became the longer i worked on my dissertation. but my favorite view was of a nearby oak tree. from my fourth-floor vantage point i had a rather intimate view of the tree and the various birds and squirrels that inhabit it. occasionally a bird would land on my window sill, which usually had the effect of startling both of us.

i take with me the memory of two young professors who passed away while i was a graduate student. anne johnstone, the only female professor from whom i took a course in the engineering school, and bob durr, a political science professor and a member of my dissertation committee, both lost brave battles with cancer. i remember them fondly.

i take with me the memory of failing the first exam in one of the first engineering courses i took as an undergraduate. i remember thinking the course was just too hard for me and that i would never be able to pass it. so i went to talk to the professor, ready to drop the class. and he told me not to give up, he told me i could succeed in his class. for reasons that seemed completely ludicrous at the time, he said he had faith in me. and after that my grades in the class slowly improved, and i ended the semester with an a on the final exam. i remember how motivational it was to know that someone believed in me.

i take with me memories of the midwestern friendliness that so surprised me when i arrived in st. louis 8 years ago. since moving to new jersey, i am sad to say, nobody has asked me where i went to high school.

i take with me the memory of the short-lived computer science graduate student social committee lunches. the idea was that groups of cs grad students were supposed to take turns cooking a monthly lunch. but after one grad student prepared a pot of chicken that poisoned almost the entire cs grad student population and one unlucky faculty member in one fell swoop, there wasn't much enthusiasm for having more lunches.

i take with me the memory of a more successful graduate student effort, the establishment of the association of graduate engineering students, known as ages. started by a handful of engineering graduate students because we needed a way to elect representatives to a campus-wide graduate student government, ages soon grew into an organization that now sponsors a wide variety of activities and has been instrumental in addressing a number of engineering graduate student concerns.

i take with me the memory of an engineering and policy department that once had flourishing programs for full-time undergraduate, masters, and doctoral students.

i take with me memories of the 1992 u.s. presidential debate. eager to get involved in all the excitement i volunteered to help wherever needed. i remember spending several days in the makeshift debate hq giving out-of-town reporters directions to the athletic complex. i remember being thrilled to get assigned the job of collecting film from the photographers in the debate hall during the debate. and i remember the disappointment of drawing the shortest straw among the student volunteers and being the one who had to take the film out of the debate hall and down to the dark room five minutes into the debate - with no chance to re-enter the debate hall after i left.

i take with me memories of university holidays which never seemed to apply to graduate students. i remember spending many a fall break and president's day holiday with my fellow grad students in all day meetings brought to us by the computer science department.

i take with me memories of exams that seemed designed more to test endurance and perseverance than mastery of the subject matter. i managed to escape taking any classes that featured infamous 24-hour-take-home exams, but remember the suffering of my less fortunate colleagues. and what doctoral student could forget the pain and suffering one must endure to survive the qualifying exams

i take with me the memory of the seven-minute rule, which always seemed to be an acceptable excuse for being ten minutes late for anything on campus, but which doesn't seem to apply anywhere else i go.

i take with me the memory of friday afternoon acm happy hours, known not for kegs of beer, but rather bowls of rainbow sherbet punch. over the several years that i attended these happy hours they enjoyed varying degrees of popularity, often proportional to the quality and quantity of the accompanying refreshments - but there was always the rainbow sherbert punch.

i take with me memories of purple parking permits, the west campus shuttle, checking my pendaflex, over-due library books, trying to print from cec, lunches on delmar, friends who slept in their offices, miniature golf in lopata hall, the greenway talk, division iii basketball, and trying to convince dean russel that yet another engineering school rule should be changed.

finally, i would like to conclude, not with a memory, but with some advice. what would a graduation speech be without a little advice, right anyway, this advice comes in the form of a verse delivered to the 1977 graduating class of lake forest college by theodore seuss geisel, better known to the world as dr. seuss - here's how it goes:

my uncle ordered popovers

from the restaurant's bill of fare.

and when they were served,

he regarded them

with a penetrating stare . . .

then he spoke great words of wisdom

as he sat there on that chair:

"to eat these things,"

said my uncle,

"you must excercise great care.

you may swallow down what's solid . . .

but . . .

you must spit out the air!"

and . . .

as you partake of the world's bill of fare,

that's darned good advice to follow.

do a lot of spitting out the hot air.

and be careful what you swallow.

thank you.

小六毕业演讲稿篇3

尊敬的老师，亲爱的同学们：

大家好！同学们，我们就要即将毕业了，不久就要离开母校了，要结束小学阶段的生活，走进初中了……在没离别的时候，我已经依依难舍了。我的手在微微颤动，我不想离开美丽的母校，不想离开敬爱的老师，不想离开可爱的同学们。我难忘那些美好的时光，那些沮丧，悲伤，激动，欢乐的时光已经铭刻在我的心田。

难道真的要离别了吗？美好的校园已经融入了我内心的深处，那么长又那么清晰，我又怎么能忘记？在求知园那儿，春天来临时鸟语花香，在那儿仰望蓝天，白云，阳光都汇成了美丽的图案；校园里的风儿，似变幻魔术，吹落了秋叶，一片，两片，三片……落在校园的甬路上便仿佛地上洒了一片金子。

六年的小学生涯如流水一去不复还，小学生活即将结束，我们即将要步入中学，在中学更深的知识海洋里遨游。回想小学的时光，有坎坷，有甘甜，有希望，有失落，有成功，有失败，有喜悦，有愤怒。但最终，我们都度过了这个美好令人难忘的小学生涯。

告别了，美丽的校园，告别了，敬爱的老师；告别了，可爱的同学。在小学的点点滴滴我都铭刻在心，我要珍惜这最后的一点时光，要让它过得充实而又有意义。我们即将离开母校、离开朋友，担心到了中学找不到朋友而有一些悲伤，但请不要悲伤，正如高适所说的“莫愁前路无知己，天下谁人不识君。”

谢谢大家！

小六毕业演讲稿篇4

尊敬的老师、在座的家长朋友与同学朋友们：

大家上午好！

我是六年级三班钱正坤同学的家长，今天，能跟各位家长一起参加孩子们的小学毕业典礼，我的心里除了激动，还有满满的感动。借此机会，与大家回顾一下孩子六年的小学生涯，同时共同祝愿孩子们即将面临的中学生活。

回顾孩子六年的小学生涯，我在这里总结了两个关键词，一个是“感谢”、一个是“沟通”。

在“感谢”这个关键词里，首先我要代表各位家长朋友感谢我们坊子实验学校的各位校领导，感谢各位任课老师、后勤老师，包括我们的每一位门卫师傅。

六年来，是你们用自己的爱心与智慧，责任与担当，指引着这群孩子从懵懂无知走向知书达礼。

每当看着孩子在知识的熏陶下那张阳光自信的小脸，在安全团结的环境下一天天成长的身体，我的内心充满对这所学校的感激，而且这种感激不断感染着孩子对学校及老师更多的尊重。

印象深刻的是不止一次的听到孩子回家说：“妈妈，丁老师今天感冒了，嗓子都说不出话来了，但她一直坚持给我们上课。”“妈妈，郎老师今天身体很不舒服，但还是笑着给我们讲课。”说这些话的时候，看到的是孩子满眼的敬意，甚至还有一丝丝说不出来的对老师的疼惜。

“妈妈，我们学校要组织运动会了。”“我们学校要组织募捐活动了。”。一系列的活动组织，让孩子知道除了学习以外还要热爱体育，除了自己幸福以外还要用自己的微薄之力去帮助那些贫困地区的孩子，正是在这种正能量的教育下，我们的孩子得以健康成长。

接下来，我们还要感谢我们的.孩子，是他们带给我们这些家长数不清的欢乐与幸福，如果说家长是辛苦的，我觉得还不如换作幸福这个词，真的，孩子给予我们的快乐甚至远远大于我们为孩子付出的辛苦。

总能想起孩子掉落第一颗乳牙时悲伤的样子：“妈妈，我的牙会不会一颗颗的全部掉光，跟姥爷一样没法吃东西啊？。”听到这句话的时候，我笑了，我说：“宝贝儿，不会的，你这一嘴的小乳牙会一颗颗的掉光，但之后会有一口坚固的恒牙帮你吃东西。”

一直到现在，孩子总会在我劳累时挥舞着小拳头送给我一个或五分钟或半小时不同级别的按摩。记忆深刻的是孩子在五年级时的一天中午给我打电话：“妈妈，下班快回来吧，我做了面条”，至今记着那天的葱油面条，除了满嘴的香，还有满心的甜。

虽然孩子的学习成绩并不是最拔尖的，但我依然想说我的孩子是优秀的，我们的孩子都是优秀的，因为他们或许培育了正直善良的品格，或许培养了丰富广泛的爱好。

接下来的“沟通”这个关键词里，先说一下家长与学校的沟通，讲一个发生在我跟孩子的班主任丁老师之间真实的案例。

这个案例其实在六三班的班会上丁老师曾经提过，事情的经过很简单，就是孩子一次在课堂上被同学指证随便说话挨训了，中午回家后孩子情绪很低落，一直强调他是被冤枉的，随便说话的不是他。

因为孩子一直有上课随便说话的坏习惯，我在拿不准的情况下给丁老师发了一条信息，大体内容就是为了孩子的心理健康，想让丁老师帮着再问一遍孩子是否真的在课堂上说话了？并且我跟丁老师约定不告诉孩子我们事前沟通过。

丁老师很重视的找孩子再次进行询问，而且在确认后还真挚的向孩子道歉。

下午放学回家后，孩子高兴的跟我说老师亲自找到自己并在知道真相后向他道歉了，记不错的话，这件事情孩子应该是今天刚刚知道，当时小家伙那种兴奋的神情我至今都还记着。

我想说的是，家长与学校的沟通方式有很多种，选择哪种沟通方式，真的能直接决定沟通的结果。我们既然选择把孩子送到这所美丽的校园，就应该相信每一位老师都会尽职尽责的教育我们的孩子，而且他们也真的做到了。

再说一下跟孩子之间的沟通，我跟孩子经常说的一句话是“我们是不是好朋友？”孩子肯定的回答“是”。

既然做为朋友，很多事情就应该开诚布公，孩子错了，我们会严厉的训斥孩子，我们错了，孩子是不是也有权力指正呢？在这一点上我一直坚持与孩子做知心朋友，自己错的时候及时向孩子道歉。

六年来，我跟孩子的关系一直是非常亲密的，当然，在最近几次选拔考试中，可能因为着急，我对孩子发了几次火，给孩子增加了不少的压力，在这里，借这个机会，我向孩子真诚的道歉。

与学校沟通，与孩子沟通，都是我们这些家长在未来很多年里的必修课，所以说，寻找一种合适的沟通方式，达到我们的沟通效果，这样才会增强家长与学校，家长与孩子之间的密切关系。

祝愿孩子们即将面临的中学生活，在这里我也想跟家长们分享两个关键词，一个是“发现”、一个是“目标”。

我们的孩子们即将告别这座承载着欢笑与泪水的小学校园，踏上新的征途，那么，我们拿什么去祝愿孩子们未来的中学生活呢？

也许很多家长会说，你做为家长代表，你的孩子当然是优秀的，我的孩子学习成绩不好，我的孩子对人不讲礼貌，诸如此类的抱怨会有很多。

但我想说的是，家长朋友们，我的孩子真的没有你们想像的那么优秀，他的成绩在班里算个中上游，他只参加过一次运动会，他长得不如很多男孩高大英俊，但我还是固执的认为我的孩子是最优秀的。

小六毕业演讲稿篇6

亲爱的同学们：

大家好！

今天是个特殊的日子。中考前的挥汗苦读，考场上的奋力拼搏仿佛就在昨天，此时此刻，我们欢聚一堂，隆重举行我校20xx届初中毕业典礼。我代表全体老师，向顺利完成初中学业的全体同学表示热烈的祝贺！

三年来，老师和同学们一起朝夕相处，荣辱与共。作为老师，我们“快乐着你们的快乐，痛苦着你们的痛苦”。也许你曾厌烦过老师的唠叨、埋怨过老师的严厉、反感过老师的批评。但是，请你们理解老师“恨铁不成钢”的心情，请你们了解老师渴盼你们立志成才的心愿。只要你们肯攀登高峰，所有的老师愿意让你们踩着肩膀攀的更高，走的更远！

三年的时光，就这样匆匆而过，三年的初中学习，你们经历了一个从稚嫩走向成熟的成长过程。离别在即，面对即将离开母校的你们，我有四个期望要送给你们：

一、我期望你们要拥有阳光的思想，睿智的思维。面对各种环境，不同的人生经历，可能会让你们时常面对选择，此时，惟有清醒的头脑、正确的思想，独立的思维，方能指引你人生正确的航向。

二、我期望你们要拥有爱和宽容。漫漫人生征途，并非都是阳光普照的'大道，会有荆棘和坎坷、风雨和冰霜。当你们面对困难和挑战时，对自己保留一份爱和宽容，让自己的身心多一点健康和明朗，让自己的生活多一点快乐和从容。若能对他人奉献一份爱与宽容，你们的心胸会因此比天空还宽阔，你们的世界也会因此而更加美丽。

三、我期望你们学会负责，即对自己负责，有理想、勤学习；对父母负责，做好儿女，对学校负责，做好学生；对社会负责，做好公民。惟有承担起自己的人生责任，才能真正实现你人生的价值。

四、我期望你们学会感恩。父母的养育、师长的教诲、同窗的情谊等对你们每个人都是恩情，知恩图报，珍惜自己得到的所有关爱。

同学们，诗人汪国真曾说过：没有比脚更长的路，没有比人更高的山。敢问路在何方，路在脚下。你们将带着老师的期望走向漫漫征途。你们前行的每一个脚步里都将有老师美好的祝愿，殷殷的期待，期待着你们三年后佳讯再传！

最后，我代表全体老师送给每位同学“五千万”：千万要健康，千万要快乐，千万要自信，千万要拼搏，千万要记着你的母校、你的老师和你的朋友！愿同学们一路走好！

我的发言完了，谢谢大家！
