Writing a farewell speech when you are leaving is a difficult task. Farewell words
at this moment of time are speechless.

It is a great moment of your life when you have been compelled to leave the present
organization to face new challenges and accept lucrative growth opportunities in life,
leaving all your colleagues and friends behind.

Now, its time for you to acknowledge the fact graciously and write a short farewell speech
for all those people whom you are leaving behind.

Here are some of the guidelines that may help your write a good farewell speech
for yourself :

 Announce your departure and show your grief of departing.

 Describe the traits and relationships that you have shared with your
colleagues in the past years.

with.

organization.

interesting experiences.
 Wish your audience for challenging goals of the organization, company or
educational institutes.
 Share your reason for leaving and your feelings at this moment of time.

or new step towards a successful career.

Graduation farewell speech is one of the most enthusiastic forms of farewell

speeches.

These speeches are mainly written and addressed by the head of the educational institute,
faculty member or guest speaker. In their speech they are mainly addressing all the
graduates who have completed their education and are now ready to march ahead towards
a fruitful career.
 If you have to write a farewell speech for students graduating from your institute, then
you have to write about their success in graduating and their associations. Write
something that is motivational and wish all the graduates luck for their future endeavors.

If you are writing a farewell speech on graduation on behalf of all the graduate
students, then you have to follow the guidelines mentioned below :

 Thank all your teachers, professors and your parents for their constant
support, help and encouragement.
 Praise accomplishments and the achievements that the class has made
during the educational year.
 Emphasize your reflection on the past years and mention few changes
and developments that have occurred.
 Mention some of the exciting, funny and hilarious events that have
occurred during your studies.
 Give a motivational message to all your juniors and inspire them to look
ahead towards a fruitful future.
 Bid an emotional farewell and let your audience realize that you will
never forget that years and moment spend in this institute.
 Also ensure the audience with your words that you will always owe your
tribute to all the teachers, colleagues, juniors, professors and other
working members of the institute for all what they become in their life.
 To conclude, the graduation farewell speech you can end with a good
farewell song or personalized farewell poem.

My Leavers' Assembly Speech

This is what I read out during the Leavers' Assembly, up for everybody to either read again or for new people to read.

If you were in that Leavers' Assembly, how about you print it off and have it as a momento to remember that last day,
the last two years and me by.

Some of it is generic, some of it is specific to people I know, but read it all through.

For those who don't know, this is adapted from Baz Luhrmann's 'Everybody Wears Sunscreen'. Enjoy

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of 2009... be happy

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, happiness would be IT.

The long term benefits of happiness have been proved by all of us whereas the rest of my advice
has no basis more reliable than my own warped mind and thoughts.
I will dispense this advice now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Never mind. Priya's shrieking has probably already
corrupted your youth. But trust me, in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself wearing
trackies and baseball caps with stickers on or during charity week and recall in a way you can't
grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. And you all
look amazing.

You are NOT as fat as you imagine. In fact, it's about time you all got a proper meal.

Don't worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to drag
Nilofar away from her coursework and out of the house.. The real troubles in your life are apt to
be things that never crossed your worried mind; like what clothes to wear to the leavers ball, or
whether or not Miss Gill will really give you any more coursework marks.

Do one thing every day that scares you. Like telling Mr. Doxsey you've lost your USB stick.

Sing. But not anything by Lady Gaga or Akon.

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts, don't put up with people who are reckless with
yours.

Brush your teeth twice a day.

Don't waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race
is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself. And how stupid are you if you run a race with
yourself?

Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults; today, even with blurry eyes and bed
head, you all look beautiful, even Suddarshan. But then again, you all smell. Especially
Suddarshan.

Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements. Except the final notice before
the Student Loan company come knocking.

Stretch [the truth].

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life, even if your parents think
they know what you should do. The most interesting people I know don't know at 28 what they
want to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don't. Get
plenty of calcium. But keep your hands off my milk.

Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're gone. Try naming them and taking them to
the cinema, and they'll love you back.

Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't, maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't, maybe
you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll do the Soulja Boy dance, or the Joy panic dance on your 75th
wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself,
either. Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's. Enjoy your brain, use it every way
you can – call Karamveer if you need some help, I think he recently found his. Don't be afraid of
it, or me, or what other people think, it's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.

Dance. Even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room. In fact, best to try it out
in your own living room first. I seen some of you trying to drum on the desk and bop to the radio,
and you’re like white people – you have no rythym.

Read the directions, even if you don't follow them. You girls especially should follow directions
because there's no way you’re going to do a three-point turn to go back the way you came if you
get lost. I should know, I've seen some of you try and walk around my class room. And
remember, it's in your genes.

Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly. Harneel, you actually are
ugly.

Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for good. Seriously.

Be nice to your siblings; they are your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick
with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you should hold on. Right now
most of you are sitting by that precious few. Hold on, and tight. Work hard to bridge the gaps in
geography and lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when
you were young. When new doors open, never close the old ones.

Live in Halls of Residence for months, but leave before it makes you hard; live back home again
at Christmas, but leave before it makes you soft.

Travel. I hear Bournemouth is nice this time of year.

Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, Cristiano Ronaldo is a greasy lizard and
Chelsea will not win the Champions League, you too will get old, and when you do you'll
fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, Hollyoakes was a great TV show
and children respected their elders. If these are your fantasies then I pity you.

Respect your elders. And very much elders like your teachers.

Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll have a
wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out. Just make sure you get in the
will as soon as you can.

Don't mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85. Or in my case it'll
look more 1985.

Be careful who you add on Facebook, but be patient with those who add you. Maybe you'll meet
the man of your dreams, with a flashy car, who is bare fit and is part of a band. Or maybe you'll
add a guy with a bad knee, a dodgy knee and always wanted you to reach you full potential.

But trust me on the happiness.
