Year:
2025
Selection:
Being chosen to deliver the Graduation speech on behalf of the entire 2025 Engineering cohort was not only a great privilege, but also a reflection of the relationships I built with lecturers, peers, technicians, and staff throughout my time at University. The selection process also recognised the dedication, achievements, and contributions of the student chosen to represent the cohort.
WRiting the speech:
In preparing, I spent time watching other graduation speeches. What struck me most was the lack of a set structure, which felt like an opportunity to be original and to write something personal to me, but still universal to the student body.
The inspiration for my speech came from the relationships I had built with teachers and lecturers across my education. These were people who not only invested their time and energy into my development, but who also cared deeply about my success, even when I doubted myself. I have such fond memories of those moments, though, like many, I often forget them as time moves on.
I wanted my fellow graduates, standing at the end of their own education, to pause and remember the people and the achievements that brought them to where they are now. and to thank them.
PERSONAL THANKS:
To my primary school teachers Mrs. Murray, Ms. Oaks, and Mrs. Murphy; my secondary school teachers Mr. Doolan, Mr. Richards, and Dr. Mendy; and my University lecturers Fazil Akin, Dr. Farnaz Nickpour, and Dan Hibbert, thank you.
More specifically, I would like to thank:
Mr. Mulligan, my secondary school Drama teacher, who taught me how to be confident in myself. I owe my ability to deliver this speech entirely to him.
Mr. Burns, my sixth form Chemistry teacher, who showed me the meaning of discipline and what it means to work hard for something, and more importantly, how to find satisfaction even when your best doesn’t look the way you had hoped.
Mr. Wadsworth, my sixth form Maths teacher. Without the countless hours outside of class spent helping me, I am certain I would not have made it to University.
Ms. Evans, my secondary school History teacher, for simply being the most brilliant teacher I have ever met.
And finally, to all of the unnamed teachers, support staff, technicians, and cleaners who have worked so hard for the benefit of our generation, a final thank you.
