The Story Of Scoscvisc

Speeches

Scoscvisc took a deep breath and spoke

"My fellow classmates. Everypony has their own aspirations. Some may want to make food for a living, barter, create things that are stunningly beautiful, like flowers. But my aspiration was to become a guard like my father, and his father before him."

Everypony could tell that Scoscvisc took his time writing this speech and poured his heart out into it.

Scoscvisc paused, then spoke again

"But some of us may not be able to achieve these goals the first time and fall short. This does not mean give up, it means to work hard and try again. Like me for example, I was just a little boy when my father, Kirov Moonstare began to teach me to use a sword. At first I could barely hold it, my magic wasn't strong enough. But by trying and trying again, I was finally able to fully wield a sword."

"This is when my training truly began. Before and after my father would return home from work we would train, every day. I wanted to become a guard so bad that I would try almost anything to get it. When I was about 16, my father and I were sparring when I finally did it, I finally beat him. That's when I realized that this was my true calling, and nothing would stop me from achieving my goal."

"I thank all of my instructors and classmates for giving me advice, even when I didn't want any. So I am glad to accept my awards for outstanding swordsmanship, outstanding citizenship, and the record for quickest lap around the castle without wings. It wasn't easy but now I can say it for real this time."

A single tear came from his eye.

"I finally achieved my dreams"

With this, everypony cheered, not just for the fact that he was the best student, but because many of them have felt the way that he does now, proud and joyful.
