How to Write a Graduation Essay That Conveys Your Feelings: A Collection of Moving, Ready-to-Use Example Ideas

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.
Accompanist / Piano Instructoryuri
Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

A class that left a lasting impression on me

In a graduation yearbook filled with precious memories shared with your classmates, choosing “A Class That Left a Lasting Impression” as a theme is also recommended.

By writing down your teacher’s stories or unexpected moments that happened during lessons, you’ll always be able to look back on them.

It’s also a great idea to focus on times when everyone worked together, such as preparing for the cultural festival or sports day.

Sharing what you felt in your learning environment is a wonderful way to preserve those youthful memories forever.

If there were a anywhere door

If you can’t find a writing topic, I recommend expanding a story from your imagination.

One idea I especially recommend is “What if there were a Anywhere Door?” Surely everyone has thought about it at least once.

You could dream big, like “I could travel abroad,” or indulge in more down-to-earth fantasies such as “I want to get to school in one second every morning” or “I want to meet a celebrity.” If you get stuck with this theme, it might help to ask someone close to you for ideas.

Quote lyrics from your favorite song

If you have a favorite artist, I recommend quoting lyrics from songs you like.

The idea is to tweak parts of the lyrics to suit yourself and write them down.

When you look back later, you’ll be able to feel the passage of time—like, “Oh, this song was popular back then,” or “I used to like that artist, didn’t I?” Another option is to subtly weave lyrics into your writing without making it obvious.

In that case, you can reveal the reference afterward and have fun with it.

message board (with group messages), group card, or collective autograph

A yearbook message worthy of the end of high school is a wonderful gift that will stay in your heart even after graduation.

Simple yet heartwarming messages also make for a perfect graduation-day surprise.

For example, how about creating an album with photos of everyone in the class and adding individual messages to each page? Another fun idea is a class-signed puzzle or a playlist that strings everyone’s messages together.

Messages full of personality will become treasured keepsakes throughout life.

Why not preserve those unforgettable moments with your high school friends in a tangible form?

Message from the homeroom teacher

By receiving a message from the homeroom teacher who supported you, you can continue to feel encouraged even as an adult.

I recommend opening a page in the graduation yearbook and asking your teacher to write something.

They could reflect on the memories you’ve made so far, or write a message for high school students who are about to advance to further study or start working.

You might also ask other teachers who helped you, not just your third-year homeroom teacher.

Why not give shape to your gratitude toward the teachers you will never forget?

Future Declaration

As a positive-feeling idea for a graduation yearbook, I’d like to introduce “Declarations.” This involves looking back on yourself up to now while declaring a goal.

For example: “I always failed math, but in high school I will be the top of my class.” The goal can be anything—studies, sports, hobbies, dieting, saving money—so choose one and declare it.

The biggest advantage is that by stating it definitively with “I will do it” or “I will become,” you can push yourself to follow through.
