“Cleanliness is next to godliness,” said the great John Wesley.

Hello, respected principals, instructors, and good friends. Today, I,

Rahul/Rubaina, stand in front of you all to emphasise the significance of

cleanliness.

Cleanliness is the condition or attribute of being or remaining clean. Everyone

must learn about cleaning, hygiene, sanitation, and the different diseases that are

produced by unsanitary circumstances. It is essential for physical well-being and

the maintenance of a healthy atmosphere at home and at school. A filthy

atmosphere invites a large number of mosquitos to grow and spread dangerous

diseases. On the other side, poor personal cleanliness causes a variety of skin

disorders as well as lowered immunity.

Habits formed at a young age become ingrained in one’s personality. Even if we

teach our children to wash their hands before and after meals, brush their teeth

and bathe on a regular basis, we are unconcerned about keeping public places

clean. On October 2, 2014, the Indian Prime Minister began the “Swachh Bharat”

programme to offer sanitation amenities to every family, including toilets, solid

and liquid waste disposal systems, village cleanliness, and safe and appropriate

drinking water supplies. Teachers and children in schools are actively

participating in the ‘Clean India Campaign’ with zeal and excitement.

Good health ensures a healthy mind, which leads to better overall productivity,

higher living standards, and economic development. It will improve India’s

international standing. As a result, a clean environment is a green environment

with fewer illnesses. Thus, cleanliness is defined as a symbol of mental purity.

2013 Student Graduation Speech

Good morning family, friends, faculty, and fellow graduates.

Well, we did it. We all accomplished one of the major early milestones of our lives: high

school graduation. Thisis a major step in the journey of our lives, one that shouldbe

recognized for its immense significance. It is an act not only of personal commitment, but

also one of pride. We all worked hard to get to this day, and our work did not go to waste.

A highschool diploma is a wonderful tool in this world, one that opens many doors of

opportunity for anyone who is lucky enough to have one.

But graduation is not an end goal in itself; it is instead a part of the larger journey of life.

Wherever your future takes you, let it take you somewhere. Life is a journey, and all

accomplishments we achieve during its course should be taken as starting points for

further achievements. Our graduation should serve as such a launching point, projecting

us to wherever our futures are meant to take us, whether we land ourselves a career, take

up a trade, or continue our education at college or Vocational/technical School.

But before we can begin to reach for the stars, there is one more personal milestone that

we all need to reach. Most people who graduate from high school experience only one

graduation — that from high school. But we all have one more shortly ahead of us.

We’ve already shown our commitment to personal growth through making it to this
ceremony today, but soon, all of us will experience another ceremony when we graduate

from our programs. As I said before, life is a journey — we don’t stop growing once we get

our diplomas. Life is about growing, and being in our programs gives each of us new

opportunities to continue growing and to learn new skills that we will carry with us for the

rest of our lives.

And we don’t have to stop there! This graduation has already shown us how capable we

all are of accomplishing our goals when we commit ourselves to them. I hope all of us here

today can take this personal accomplishment as an exampleof how anything is truly

possible when we put our minds to it. As we all continue on in our lives, let us take each

new problem on with confidence, knowing that we have achieved great heights and are

equipped with the necessary tools to tackle our futures.

The road that lies ahead won’t be easy. There will be obstacles and missed exits, potholes

and roadblocks. There will betimes when each of us will feel like we cannot possibly go on.

There will be times when each of us will think he or she is alone, a back against the wall.

But we are not alone — we are all on this journey together. We’ve made it this far — why

should we back out now? Nothing worthwhile is easy, and that includes making the most

out of our futures. But that doesn’t mean we give up on ourselves. We will keep pushing,

because we know we can achieve our dreams, and because we are worth it.

From this day forward, let us make each decision with our best interests in mind. Let us

believe in ourselves so that we may reach our goals and fulfill our dreams. Let us be the

best that we can be so that we may fill our lives and the lives of those closest to us with

happiness and with pride. We’ve already taken the first step by making it to this ceremony

today — now, it’s time to take the next steps in the journey that is our lives and begin to

build our futures.

Congratulations to the class of 2013!
