Thank you Speech for Parents – 2

Respected Principal, Respected Teachers and My Dear Friends!

Welcome to the annual celebration of our Boarding School ABC. This is the day, which each one of us waits for, since this represents the closing of the school for the next 2 months when the children would stay with their respective parents, go on vacation or enjoy their holiday as per their wishes.

This year, I have been given the honour to deliver the annual day speech. I would especially like to utilise this moment to thank those people who have transformed my life – my parents.

There are not sufficient words to describe how thankful I am to them, for everything they have done for me. But that doesn’t lessen the value of my teachers. I am utilising this platform today to thank my parents as they have also gathered here. Parents do so much for us right from our birth till the end and I realised this only when I came to the boarding school. No wonder, the school has taught me discipline and to be self-dependent, but the importance of parents in life is eternal.

I am not making any comparison here; but today I would be biased and thank my parents for their blessings and endless support they have given to me.

Papa and Mummy, I want to tell you that I am not at all angry that you sent me here. I later realised, how judicious decision it was on your parts to send me to the boarding school because not only that I learnt to be an ideal child but I also made a lot of friends here. I want to thank you for showering endless love upon me in every situation. Thank you for explaining me with utmost love when I made silly mistakes. Thank you for being patient in listening to my every little problem over the phone and helping me to find their solutions.

Papa, you have always remained the pillar of my life, I have never seen you crying even in the darkest moments of your life. I always thought that my dad is a super human while that was not true; you are also a human being with an emotional heart and I realised that when I saw you getting emotional over my departure. You bought everything for me and fulfilled all my irrational demands.

Mummy, you are the most wonderful person in the world; you always taught me to be kind towards others. Patience and Persistence are the biggest mantra of ‘success’ that I learnt from you. You taught me to be considerate and advised me to stay calm in any kind of altercation with anyone, due to which I am loaded with friends today.

My life has a mission and vision today; all due to your endless effort and trust upon me. I understand, it was the toughest decision for you to send me to the hostel but you made it because you wanted to transform the irrational child of yours to a polite and considerate human being.

I have learnt a lot from you after being away from you; most importantly I have started valuing people and their efforts.

I can’t thank you enough for whatever you have done and still doing for me; yet I want to say ‘Thank you’ Mummy and Papa, I Love you!
