Plus, you know, the people that are giving me 3000 bucks a year will be watching.. >_>
Oh, I didn't know.

So do those serious things people was talking.
I it was me, it would be a minimal speech.

Am I the only one that feels inclined to wear something that's not simply a black suit and a coloured tie? I'm planning on going with steam punk next year. >_>

Ages, easy speech is easy. The following are top tier topics to branch from:

-The world is facing difficult times right now, and we've all gotta do our part to make it better
-You [the student body] has accomplished all they have with the help of their family, friends, and loved ones.
-Doing what is right may be difficult, but it is morally necessary
-It's perfectly okay to not know for certain what you wanna be when you grow up


I'd come up with more, but I'm sleepy. Those should start you nicely. Other good ideas have been posted, so drag them in also. And for the love of God, CRACK SOME FUCKING JOKES. We had two student speakers at my graduation today. The first one was this stiff boring shit. The second one opened with a Winston Churchill quote comparing his speech length to the length of a girl's skirt, which was awesome. He then peppered his serious speech with jokes to keep it light-hearted. Unless you want to be a stuffy shitdick, crack some jokes. I mentioned quotes before. Quotes are pretty good to add in to emphasize a point. Got any famous people from somewhere near your school that said something worthwhile? Add a couple. Alternately, use a couple from famous people. (read: famous = people with name recognition. Churchill counts. The Choco does not (though, quoting me would be top fucking tier)). But if you use quotes, keep it to a minimum. Too many quotes will make you sound like a stuffy shitdick. I'd say no more than 3.

That's all I've got for ya. Hope it helps. Congrats on valedictorian. I wasn't even close when I was getting out of high school.

I'd be in contention if I had done IB. But I didn't and now all the people I used to be ahead of are now Marshals. >_>

I only read Choco's suggestions, but a good topic is "FUCK YEA WE'RE DONE. WE ARE AWESOME." is a good one. One of our 3 valedictorians had that as his topic and everybody was all "YEA! 8D" throughout it.

Generally I suggest keeping away from sentimental because everybody knows its all sad but nobody wants to be sad about it until they have to be.

This is good. The "We're done, motherfuckers" option is also top tier.

Urge to quote Mr Fauntroy... rising... >_o

IF I COME UP WITH A RANDOM AWESOME QUOTE OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD I'M ATTRIBUTING IT TO YOU.

And yeah, I've been looking at quotes for a while. One by Churchill, one by Helen Keller, one by Einstein.

I don't consider myself a good joker, but I SHALL TRY.

Bonus points if the JS quote can be considered mildly racist!
