LILIBETH BARRIOS CONTRERAS

College Speech 

As soon as I met my classmates, I knew that the next four years

of my life would be a disaster. Since I saw them enter the
classroom door I could feel how I would hate them and I did, I
was not wrong at all, however, over time, one appreciates
people. If I had the opportunity to turn back time, I would
change many things, including some teachers with whom I,
unfortunately, enrolled in some subjects when I was in my first
semesters, I hate them and I will always hate them, but well
everything was not negative and I had the opportunity to meet
wonderful teachers who love their work and made me love
languages and that is what brought me here today, some of
those teachers are no longer working at the university but I am
sure that if they had the opportunity to see me here today they
would be very proud of everything I have achieved since they
have always supported my classmates and me. Never have I
considered myself a caring person, but today writing this speech
I want to thank all the people who supported me, my mom, my
aunt, and my boyfriend they are very special to me. Hardly will I
miss receiving classes until eight at night, fighting with the
head of the department, or the horrible classrooms, but
something I will miss is feeling part of the lives of my
classmates, crying together, and growing together as people and
professionals.
