Motivational Speech for History Majors (Sample)

Graduates, I know what you are thinking. You are probably thinking that I’ll be talking about the excitement of the real world, how exhilarating it is to start your new life, and how wonderful it is to be stepping out of this University to discover new things. Well, I think that kind of speech should be saved for another day. Instead, I am here to tell you all that today you are irrelevant, you are unimportant, and you are useless. Correct me if I’m wrong but maybe you have heard of these words a hundred, or maybe a thousand times before. You have also probably said these sentences to yourselves repetitively. You probably agree with me to some extent. So, why am I telling you this? The answer is simple. These are the most common responses of people every time you tell them that you are studying History. Unfortunately, the decline in the number of students enrolling in this major has been continuous. In the last 20 or so years, people strongly believe that fields related to the ad...

Just a few days ago, I had the most memorable experience in my life. I was given the opportunity to travel to the "Land of the Rising Sun" for a total of 6 days. This trip was fully funded by the company where I work at (CNE1 International Language School) and our partner school located in the said prefecture (Hachinohe Gakuin University). Variety of Bentos sold in Tokyo Central train station Our first stop was in Aomori, Japan located in the northern part of the main island of the country. The place is roughly 3 and a half hours away from metro Tokyo by Shinkansen. Every minute counts! Hayabusa My meal on our way to Aomori During our first day, we were asked to participate in the school's Culture festival. This made me super excited because I have never really imagined myself joining such activities abroad although I have seen a lot of these scenes in Japanese animations and being there physically and mentally made it more overwhelming. I met former s...

Borrowed sun

A change of thought and mind; A change of heart and sign. You put me through A wave of emotions. A hint of laughter; A tinge of summer. The brightest yellow, The darkest sorrow. Your beauty is deadly, but satisfying. Your warmth indulging and down-right scorching. A sunflower that follows only the trail of the sun And ignores the moon that only borrows sunlight to make itself known and maybe bright.
