- bring everybody together, make them feel the speech is about them - make people laugh - make people feel good about graduation and the future - give people something to think about so: - your stories should be stories that most of the whole school can relate to - don't talk about being korean... that will make non-koreans feel isolated - i wouldn't bring up God if you're at a public school i think alternating serious and funny bits works well. talk about things that are specific to your school... like poke fun of one of the strange habits of one of the teachers, then genuinely thank them (and all teachers) for helping you through whatever. bring in particular things at your school; like if they're crazy about football mention that, or some strange feature of the building, the principal, etc. you can keep this part related to some theme... conquering fears could work. or friendship, learning, etc. if you're all going to be dressed up, then for the keeping it short bit you could joke about how you want to get out of your suit, especially cuz of the weather then end with some sappy bit talking about how much you've all grown and accomplished throughout your high school thx to teamliquid.net and how it's so inspiring how people are all going their separate ways after high school, but you'll never forget how awesome blahblahblah good luck, and congrats! | ||

Make them laugh and feel good. Your original speech sounds incredibly self-centered. (thank God for letting me... thank mom etc...) Tell a joke, recall a funny moment (or a few) that happend during your 4 years. Say you had a great time and then be done :p They (the school) aren't assigning you stuff and constantly forcing revisions are they? At my school we had like 10 people given speeches and they were all giving specific criteria and topics to write about, and they all had to turn in several rough drafts and do the revisions that the teachers asked for. It was like a fucking homework assignment, and then graduation sucked because it was really really really hot while thousands of people fell asleep during some empty speeches >.< | ||

Valedictorian Speech--Never Stop Learning by decafchicken Well, we have finally made it! And, I am sure some of you are happy to see some of us leave Hoxie. We have been quite rambunctious, as you could tell from Brandon's speech. But, hey, didn't we bring laughter to your life? Aristotle once said "The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet." I agree with this comment, but he failed to mention anything about writing a speech. I think the quote should read like this: "The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet, unless you are the valedictorian and have to give a speech after the man with a prolific vocabulary, Brandon Deines." One teacher quickly set aside my fears and told me to write from the heart. He said "The key is NOT the precise words or language or quotes or scholarly remarks ... it is that you SHARE YOURSELF with your classmates, your mom, the school community, relatives and friends ..." So, here it goes Mr. Olson. To begin, I would like to say something to the teachers. On the behalf of my entire class, thank you. Thank you for teaching us, for leading us, for building us up as adults. I know that we have not given back to you due respect. I know that we have not told you how much we appreciate you taking time out of your schedules to help us. And I know that we have not said thank you for giving us a wonderful education. So, I hope that as I say thanks, you can forget our shortcomings and remember us for who we are and not from the mistakes we have made. I would also like to say thank you to the community of Hoxie. We have asked you for so much, and you have always provided. On a more personal note, I want to say thank you to my family. I think my grandmother was more excited about me getting valedictorian than I was. Everytime I saw her, she would ask me if I knew yet. She even called me Thursday night to see if I had any news. Well, Grandma, I have news for you now. Mom, I haven't forgotten you. Afterall, you were the one harping on me to start writing my speech weeks ago. Again, you were right. Maybe I should have listened to you. Thanks Mom. Thanks for proofing my papers, baking cookies at 10 o'clock at night, and encouraging me to do my best. I couldn't have done this without you. Oh, and I can't forget my sister. She won't let me. I once made the mistake of not including her on my webpage and she let me know about it. OK, Daylene, I said your name. I can't forget my father either. In fact, the topic of my short speech is somewhat about my father. He was a man of extreme intelligence and he never stopped his education. As he relaxed from a hard day's work, one would often find him watching the History, Discovery, and Learning Channels, or reading a book to gain more knowledge. So, this is what I am saying to you: Never Stop Learning. This applies to everyone: not only to you as graduates but also to you in the audience. There is another wonderful quote by Aristotle that can express my feelings further. He was asked how much educated men were superior to the uneducated. He said, "As much as the living are to the dead." Do not be a dead, uneducated person, but rather yearn, as Tennyson said, "to follow knowledge like a sinking star beyond the utmost bound of human thought." In fact, I encourage you to read all of Tennyson's "Ulysses," For at some point in our lives, we may be in a similar situation. Graduates, be Ulysses. Never stop learning. Always be willing "to try, to seek, to find..." Our education will not stop today. As Edward Gibbon stated, "Every man who rises above the common level has received two educations: the first from his teachers; the second, more personal and important, from himself." As we leave, perhaps for college, parents remember that we are still learning. Do not fear for us for we are only becoming ourselves. I would like to close with a poem by Susan Schutz. It may help the parents as well as the graduates in the upcoming months. It is entitled "We Cannot Listen..." We cannot listen to what others want us to do We must listen to ourselves Society...family...friends do not know what we must do Only we know and only we can do what is right for us So start right now You will need to work very hard You will need to overcome many obstacles You will need to go against the judgment of other people and you will need to bypass their prejudices But you can have whatever you want if you try hard enough So start right now and you will live a life designed by you and for you and you will love your life. Thank you. | ||

I realize that my speech needs a lot of work. And I realize that TL is a sc site and half the comments are going to be raw. And just by commenting, I'll appear like some sensative sissy that can't take criticism. Well, it was a tough pill to swallow, but i appreciate them all. thx. | ||

"*High School principal calls you on stage* Yacine: *walks up to stage* (by the way i made your name Yacine because it fitted into the story) Somebody: 42! Y: Yes. 42. Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen. I, uh, I don't actually have a speech prepared because I didn't know that this was going to happen today. Somebody in the crowd: Bad start! Y: Yeah, you know what? It actually isn't when you think about it. I don't have anything planned so I'm just gonna go ahead and wing it. Hi. I'm Yacine. You might know me from school. I think that most of you know me, actually a few of you fear me. That's good. I like that. And practically none of you respect me. And you know what? That's fine. It's perfectly fine. I haven't done anything particularly deserving of respect, I don't want your respect and I don't need it. Who wants respect? No. What I do want, and what I do need is your support. Your support is what I need above all else, after of course, your collective friendship. You're very friendly people. Let me tell you why it is I need your support. *start pacing* Consider if you will.... the internet. It's a scientifically proven fact that the internet is serious business. This speech is also serious business, which is something that the other people making speeches often forget to mention. This speech is also serious business. Therefore, this speech is the internet. Do you see what I did there? dronebabo: I see what you did there! Me: dronebabo saw what I did there. Ladies and gentlemen, now is not the time for false modesty; I am really good at the internet. I rock at the internet, I could kick your ass at the internet. To give you an example, no more than say, half a dozen of you know what a swarm of ninjas is . Or how unexpected a Jinjo can be. You don't know what Mass Carriers entail, or that they are an instant win. I'm not gonna go into an anecdote about how this is a story all about how my life got flipped turned upside down and I'd like to take a minute just to sit right there and tell you all how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air. I digress. This speech is serious business and I know that some of you are expressing doubts as to how the hell i got selected for doing this speech. Few of you know this, but when it comes down to serious business, I can be very down to earth. I can be very down to fire. I can be very down to wind. I can be very down to water. I can be very down to heart. I can be very down to GOOOO PLANET. I can be very down to BY YOUR POWERS COMBINED, I am Captain Planet. The power is yours. Have fun. *standing ovation* *clapping*" | ||

I still am debating in my mind, whether or not this is just a joke because of how poorly it was written. It almost seemed like you were trying to write it that bad. People before me have basically said everything I was going to say concerning revisions, but good luck. | ||

scrap it and start over I don't see how a high school valedictorian speech could get any more generic than with an anecdote about the SAT. I mean I could be from Trinidad and Tobago and would probably still think that's a cliche. "overcoming your fears" is a pretty tricky topic to cover because you don't want to get too heavy with the sob stories, but you don't want to completely trivialize the real fears that people have actually overcome (and trivialize is exactly what you've done with your six flags story). I mean, imagine some guy is sitting in the audience who has overcome cancer. You think he wants to hear your shitty story about "goliath" and how it relates to overcoming fears? That's just disrespectful. I would leave your "koreanness" out of it. That's an in-joke for your friends maybe at best, and at worst it'll just be crickets. And a sob story about your B+ on progress reports? Believe me, even those that can relate don't want to hear that. And what about the people that got straight C's? You think they really give a rat's ass about the valedictorian's trials with B+ on a progress report? Jesus. Be universal, be insightful, inject some real humor, and HAVE A THEME. | ||
