Grad Speech Spotlight - Michael - Class of 2005.
Welcome one and all to this year’s 2005 “I AM” School Graduation.
Today is a very special day for me and my fellow classmates. High school graduation is said to be one of the most important days of a person’s life, because today is the day that each of us will go forward to adulthood, take charge of our lives and become the new leaders of the world.
There are not words to express how grateful I am to have had the chance to go to the “I AM” School and to be up here today.
Now I am entering into the next phase of life, a step that I both fear and desire; that of adulthood. Yet I know that I have been well prepared for this journey. I plan to bring everything I have learned to the world and show the world what my generation is capable of.
There was a man that lived his life in almost nothing but failure. In 1831 he failed in business. He was defeated for state legislator in 1832. He tried another business in 1833, it failed. His fiancée died in 1835. He had a nervous breakdown in 1836. In 1843 he ran for congress and was defeated. He tried again in '48 and was once again defeated. He tried running for senate in 1855. He lost. The next year he ran for Vice President and lost. In 1859 he ran for the senate again and he still was defeated.
Yet in 1860, the man who signed his name as A. Lincoln, was elected the 16th President of the United States.
The difference between history’s boldest accomplishments and its most staggering failures is often, simply, the diligent will to persevere.
Beloved Godfre says: “...when your momentum of expectation reaches a certain point, well, We will have to fulfill it, that is all! If you expect it hard enough, Life says, ‘All right! You are a magnet! You have asked for this, We will give it to you!””
The Voice of the “I AM” 1996:03:32
We thank our Beloved Godfre for those words.
If mankind only tried for the reachable than civilization would still be in the dark ages.
My dream is to go into law and as Abraham Lincoln said “If you are resolutely determined to make a lawyer of yourself, the thing is more than half done already.” This is a desire that has been a key factor in the molding of my character. I had to learn patience, and the art of silence. Both of which will serve me well in the field of law.
Because only in silence can one listen and learn, and only with patience can one maintain peace of mind and clear thought.
Our Beloved Saint Germain says:
“He who cannot or will not control his thoughts and feelings, is in a bad way; for every door of his consciousness is wide open to the disintegrating activities thrown off by the minds and emotions of other personalities. It takes neither strength, wisdom nor training to give way to unkind, destructive impulses, and the full-grown human beings who do this are but children in their development of self-control.”
Saint Germain Series, Volume One, Unveiled Mysteries:9.
Thank you Beloved Saint Germain
Through the knowledge of these things I have been able to gain more self control in my life. I know now I will bring virtue and integrity back into the law field just by being virtuous myself. This is my promise to myself and to God.
I thank Our Beloved Saint Germain for bringing me to his school and I know it will not have been in vain. By being here I have learned how to be a patriot, a good leader and moreover a balanced individual and I will use these gifts to help mankind become what it is meant to be; Ascended and Free, so help me God.
God bless you.
Excerpt from his 2005 Graduation Speech.
