Ladies and gentlemen... before we begin, let me ask you one important question:

What is a valedictorian speech? Where does it come from? What does it mean? Does it have a meaning? Where does it come from? What is it made of? Is it made of ideas? Some might say it is made of ideas. Others contend that a valedictorian speech is made of words. People used to think that a valedictorian speech was made of words. Words from someone's mouth. Words that when spoken by said mouth, would be received by someone else's ears. Ears are part of your face, which is also the location where your mouth is. The mouth that emits the words. Of your valedictorian speech. Made of words.

Many people are smart. Many smart people are valedictorians. But do the two correlate? A recent study says yes. It says that being smart and being a valedictorian do correlate. That means that being smart corellates with being a valedictorian. You have to give a speech when you are valedictorian, so being smart also correlates with giving speeches. As valedictorian.

Thank you.

How’s it going, ladies and gentleman, TeamLiquid high school district board members, distinguished guests, faculty, parents, and class of ’06. My name is DN2perfectionGM

My friends gave me two advice on making my speech.

One, keep it short. It’ll probably be pretty hot during graduation.

Two, better make it good because I’m the first Korean ever to be a valedictorian of Teamliquid High School and I better represent my country right.

Is this supposed to be a joke? Cause I don't find it remarkly funny at all

With that said, I want to share with you one lesson that I learned in high school, and one only.
That is, overcome your fears! Only then we could find out what kind of talents we truly have.

In high school, we pretty much conquered the fear of doing things that we don’t want to do and the fear of sitting in one place for too long. For instance, we all sat through and endured five hours of SAT on a Saturday morning. And that was an accomplishment!

just an accomplishment? How about And that was quite a rewardable accomplishment

And ladies and gentlemen, I’m proud to say that just a few weeks ago, I conquered one of my fears. The fear of height, the fear of roller coasters. I went to Six Flags, and of all the rides, I rode the famous Goliath! And I didn’t cry. But I became a man.

But intead, I became a man

Then I got used to riding the roller coaster, the fear simply vanished. Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that for the most part, every fear and limitation that we have are like my fear of roller coasters. It takes courage to step out of the comfort zone but after the first time, one gets used to the situation, and becomes ready for a bigger challenge.

We’ve all been given talents, and it’s up to us to use them. So explore them and use them! Don’t waste them.

Finally, thank you God for giving me this opportunity to speak in front of thousands. Thank you mom and dad, for giving me the chance to have my education in the United States and pushing me every time I get a B+, in progress reports. I would like to thank my friends, you guys were the flavor and spice of my high school years. Also, I wont forget the Korean tree, it has been my sanctuary. And I would like to thank all the teachers in Teamliquid High. And thank you for listening.

Everything else is ok.

Making speeches is actually really easy, make a good opening that makes people think hard, put in some words in the middle that make you sound smart and make a really really strong closing that will make everyone happy.

The begining and ending are the only really important parts

Honestly, I would hate to listen to a speech like yours during a graduation. Talk about something that more people can relate to; nobody cares about your B+ progress report, Goliath, etc. I don't see any real humor in it either, so try to do a better job on that. Also I would not talk about heritage/religion in front of that many people, as some might feel isolated.
