This is just an example Opening Remarks to be delivered for high school students.  This speech was actually delivered in one the Science activities of the high school.

Do you remember this jingle? “Great things start from a small beginning,” do you?

Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, John Napier are just few scientists to mention who, from their curiosity and unceasing search for the betterment of the human race had formulated logical computations which serves as the basis of inventing sophisticated machines of today.  They all started from the first step.

The flying colors your teachers will give you from these activities are not just a mere stimulant for you to study harder but for you to think dipper and to cultivate your inner talents.  Your talents being accompanied by socialization like this activity will mold you not into a liability of the society but an asset and a better functioning individual of our country and of the world as whole.

“A journey of a thousand miles starts from a single step.”  I would like to congratulate you my dear students.  Your journey to life has begun and you are now in your second step.

Good luck.
