Group 1

Close your eyes for a second. Imagine a world without hope. Imagine a life where there is
nothing but despair. Imagine a world full of darkness without light. How would you live in such
a world? Would you be able to stay sane? Would you be able to continue living each and every
day to the fullest when you yourself know you are not doing alright? Take a look at it this way.
Suicide is very common in all parts of the globe. So, why do people do what they do? It can be
many things: depression, social anxiety, shame, guilt, out of passion and no meaning.

Group 2

There are many reasons why people would decide to take away their own life. They think
it’s the easy way out, well, that is true. Out of their problems, out their miseries, out of their pain,
everything. But that’s the whole point. Life was never promised to be easy. Life was never going
to be a smooth drive all the way. Albert Einstein once said that if you have never failed, it just
simply means you have not tried anything new. There is always a way to get through your
problems. It may not be the easiest way and it may takes some time, but you will rise above it.
Only if you choose to look at your problems and trials from another angle.

 All the great people you see on TV or see in movies and in basketball games have all one
thing in common: they have all started from somewhere below the ash heap. How they made it
all the way to the top of the food chain must have been quite a journey, indeed, but they are.
Before inventing the light bulb, Thomas Edison has taken at least ten thousand ways that did not
form the light bulb. At his ten thousand and first try, he has successfully built the first working
unit. What if he gave up on his tenth try or even his five thousandths try? Would we still have
light bulbs at present? Maybe it wouldn’t have been invented at all, maybe it would have but by
another person this time and not by Edison.

Group 4

Proponents of gender selection have a strong argument and quite a bit of support from
many different places. Dr. Ronald Ericsson, called “Dr. Sperm” by many has been marketing a
home test kit to help couples choose the gender of their child. As a result, he’s quite familiar with
both sides of the issue and has been for the last thirty years. The _______, though, don’t concern
him, “it’s none of their damn business” said Ericsson. “It’s a human right issue.” Ericsson
suggests that because the technology is available, people should be allowed to use it. Seems
strange to me, though that after all the destructive things we’ve done with technology, someone
would say that because it is available, we should use it.

 As students and friends, we have made many memories together, many good and some
bad, most of which we can now look back upon and laugh! We went through so much during the
past decade. We often clashed over what some might call trivial situations. And despite the
fighting, we never hesitated to have each other’s backs. I consider myself lucky to have met you
all and to be part of the strong bond we have created. We have had some of the best teachers,
who truly cared about us and taught us with passion. They gave everything they had in hopes of
molding great contributors to society. Fellow graduates, I have known you for a long time, and I
know that each and every one of you has something special.
