GOOD RIDDANCE (TIME OF YOUR LIFE)-Marco
I stood up at the podium with my paper. It had my speech for valedictorian on it. These were the lastt few moments of being a high school student, and to be totally honest, it scared me.
Another turning point a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist directs you where to go
So make the best of this test and don't ask why
It's not a question but a lesson learned in time
I had studied my butt off, and I graduated the top of my class. I'm going to be a freshman at McGill university next year. It's all so surreal. Leaving behind everything, everyone that I care about. It's a scary thought.
It's something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
Degrassi has been an emotional rollercoaster for me, but I wouldn't trade those moments for anything in the world. I'd probally still be "straight", hiding behind a mask, being someone I'm not. Degrassi brought out the real me. I met my best friends here, got my first boyfriend, fell in love, and got my heart broken here. And while there'll be other boys for me in university, and more heart breaks, I don't know how I'm going to make it through without these kids.
So take the photographs and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while
I'm not one for change. I hate it. And I'm totally scared shitless about the future. Looking back over these yearbooks honestly brings tears to my eyes. It has all my best memories. The grade 11 yearbook has to be the best though, the two pages of all of us, FRIENDS FOREVER. It all fell apart that year, but those pages show us at happier times.
It's something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
So now I stand up here, in front of my friends and family, giving my final speech as a student at Degrassi Community School. My throat is clenching, and I swear that I can feel my heart breaking. I really don't wanna leave this place.
It's something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
I look at my friends sitting next to me, Jimmy, Ashley, and Spinner in the audience, Craig standing in the back, and a smile spreads across my face as my speech comes to an end. I wish that they could be up there with me, but they'll have their time next year and you and bet that I'll be sitting in the audience watching them cross this stage.
It's something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
"And now as we head off in our separate directions. Let us remember our ties to Degrassi and to each other. Congratulations class of 2006.We did it guys!
