Today I’m going to share with you a graduation speech that I gave a few years ago. There’s something about high school graduations that are special. They’re life events that your entire family gets involved in, in the community you have parties and barbecues.  I have been in charge of graduations a two different schools – they are massive events and the culmination of 12 years of school.  Talk about pressure!

Two years after I left one school because I  moved to a different state, the sophomore class that I had my last year asked me to come back and speak at their graduation.

I was so honored.  It’s incredible to think that two years after you leave a school that the students would want you to come back.

So I’m going to share today the speech that I gave at graduation and it’s about the heroic journey, our own journeys, and the roles that we play in other’s journeys. I hope you enjoy.

Additional Resources

If you want to teach the Heroic Journey in your class I have some great resources from an introductory PPT to a Project where students look for the Heroic Journey in the books and movies they love.  You can save even more by buying them in the bundle.
