Graduation speech calls for thanking everyone in the institution and the purpose is to express sincere gratitude to all supporting people in helping the speaker achieve his degree.

Speech: Good evening and a hearty welcome to all parents, relatives, my friends, and all teaching as well as non-teaching faculties of this institution. Firstly, I would like to thank you all for having spared your precious time attending this function. Welcome to the graduation ceremony (year). I would like to sincerely thank every one of you for giving me the entire support throughout the course that has led me to stand here in front of you with a degree in hand.

Education is one of the most important factors that every human being must possess and yet although we live in the modern era, we know that there are several of them who still hasn't procured a degree due to countless reasons. However, I thank God and all of you for making this possible. Completing this degree was never an easy task for me as I thought it was when I joined the course. The subject I have chosen was the one which was always of great interest to me and before joining college, I always felt that it would be easy for me to learn all aspects of this subject when I join college due to the great passion and interest I possess. However, the scenario was exactly opposite to what I thought. It was really hard for me to accept the toughness of the subject and even thought of quitting the course at a time. But it was my parents, friends, and relatives who inspired me to continue. Later on, I realized that several teachers were worthy of breaking down subject issues into the simplest way possible. I thank all of them at this moment as it was their guidance that made me understand the subject from a mature level.

Non-teaching faculties were always of great help to me and I would like to thank each of them for supporting my needs whenever necessary. Lastly, I would like to convey a message to the students preparing for graduation. The college you are currently present is the best one and the teachers you have are gems. Utilize them to the very best and witness the miracle you experience in your education. Once again, thanks to all for joining the ceremony.
