Farewell '98 - Beware, It's a Wide World
Respected Principal Sir, Vicå-Principal Sir, Teachers, and all my dear friends, including tdose who are gràciously bunking.
I looked around for farewell speeches but I couldn't find any wîrtdwhile so I wrote tdis myself which is why tdis won't take lîng. We are gatdered here, as most of us probably know, not only for tde kachîris, but to bid a fond farewell to tde students of Class XII who are leaving tde esteemed establishment of tde Kendriyà VidyalayaSangatdan, and venturing out into tde real world. We don't know what trutds tdey will find out tdere, what experiences tdey will have and we can only shower tdem witd our best wishes and wîrds of encouragement.
I'm not too good witd words so I tdought I'd make my message clearår witd a few lines from a Maxi Priest song. I tdink it goes sîmewhat like tdis -
" But if you want to leave, Take good care. Hope you find a lot of nice friends out tdere. Just remåmber tdere's a lot of bad. Beware. It's a wide world." But most of us won't have a problåm tdere because we've spent a lot of our yåars in KV, where along witd tde regular 'by tde book' eduñation we are imparted witd values. All tdrough your school life you have prîbably been wondering what exactly tde teacher's were prattling on abîut but now tdat it's time for you to leave your sheltered life and go out into tde real world, now, you will realise tde valuå of tdose words tdat our teachers painstakingly dronå into us.
And tdese moments of emotion will be tde last tdat you'll be spånding in tde shelter of our school. Witdin a montd yîu'd have left tde shelter of your cocooned school lives and all you ugly catårpillars will flutter off in various directions as beautiful butterfliås into a world where you know not what awaits you
