Alright, I got 2 days (well actually about an hour, because I'm tired now, and i'll be hammered tomorrow) to write a valedictorian address. Anyone got any real emotional quotes that will bring a tear to my audience? Help me out, please.

 
Man, I weep for the future. Seriously, write your own damn address. You're speaking to and for your entire graduating class, they should be your words, not ours. Very few people get this opportunity. If you want to post it, people can tell you what they think, but really... write it yourself.

Hmm, you have a pretty good point. The problem is, my teacher told me I was valedictorian about 5 days ago, and i have had a week full of exams. If he told me a month ago i might have been able to say something from the heart, but I just dont have time. But I guess your right, i'll write it myself.

 
Shut up NiteHawk, you might as well just tell everyone your an unoriginal douche bag instead of using that line

 
get the hell off newschoolers and start writing dumbass! God, how the hell did you become valedictorian?!

'kind of like semen covered breasts???'

when you're in a graduating body with 5 people, it's not very hard. damnit, why didnt they chose someone who gave a shit?

 
That's amazing that they left it so late. They probably figured you wouldn't have an opportunity to let it get out before the ceremony. I was pretty sure who ours was beforehand, having told the commitee not to pick me, but to give it to her instead. Glad they did, she made a great speech from her own perspective, and meant every word of it. Good luck with it. And remember, exams are easy, anyways.

just start quoting shit and breaking it apart, like take one of churchills quotes or speechs, slowly explain it and relate it to all five of your class mates, holy shit only five, well thats my best advice but most likely your fucked

 
I go to school at a little private school in Banff. We had 6 people that were supposed to graduate but one of them decided to move away a couple weeks before grad (Sinister on Ns). Well I guess I better get at this, I did'nt want someone else to do it for me, I was just stressed out due to lack of time

 
Any suggestions? It's a rough start, but hey, its a start

A few weeks ago, I was talking to a friend down at the Canmore high school regarding graduation. She told me that she had been selected as valedictorian and mentioned how stressed out she was about writing a speech and reading it at grad. I thought to myself “Wow, that’s unfortunate for her. School’s over and they are STILL making her write stuff for them. I’m sure glad I won’t be valedictorian�.

Well, funny how things work out like this.

Well to start things off, we’re free at last!!! Now that I got that out of my system, today marks an important landmark in all of our young lives. It is the point at which life becomes much less linear. Our main goal up until this point was simply to finish high school without going crazy or going to jail. However, now we have run across a fork in the road, and it is up to each and every one of us to decide where we wish to go from this point on. The adventures and experiences we have come across this year have helped build our personalities and will undoubtedly have an affect over where we go from here.

Starting the year off doing trust building activities seemed rather silly to most at the time. Yet when we ended up climbing an exposed mountain face, with someone on the ground holding your life in their hands, it became apparent that the bonds and friendships that have been built this year will not be forgotten.

 
Pretty funny...That's a good angle to take, it sure won't be boring.

Hello and good evening. I really wanted to start this speech with a hilarious and heartwarming anecdote about some time when our whole class was together doing something; you know, that one moment that we can all remember. The moment that really defined the last thirteen years of our lives. I seriously spent about three hours contemplating, looking back at old yearbooks, class photos, all that stuff my mom saved that I didn't think I'd want to look at until I'm forty and trying to explain to my kids about how great school was for me. Everyone knows the kind of stuff I'm talking about. Alright, maybe it wasn't three hours, but I did try to remember that perfect moment, and the truth is, although you all may be remembering some event right now, I couldn't come up with one. I tried and tried, but never could remember something I and everyone else played some part in. I mean, I went all the way back to the last day of kindergarten, you guys remember? When we all had to dress up as one of the letter people? I think I may have had D for Donut Man, or at least that was the one I really wanted but didn't get, but remember it as that anyway. Well, I wasn't there that day, I stayed home because I didn't have a costume and I greatly preferred my house to the school.

I guess I should move this along before I get all caught up in some sob story about how I missed out on so many chances to forge lasting memories of class unity. The truth is, I feel as though I brought it on myself. Looking back on all those years of elementary, middle, and even early high school, I realize that I never tried to make new friends, never tried to be involved in things with my classmates. I had this strict social ladder in my mind, this incredibly complicated tier system, arranged like some flow chart you would see at a CIA meeting. This little social map, as much as I denied it then, was what I lived my life by. In my mind, there were cliques of people, and I didn't talk to people in other cliques. If I remember exactly, it was something like I refused to be friendly to people who were more than one tier above me or below me. Whatever the exact figure was, I adhered to it very strictly.

Well, now when I think about my views on social groups, I realize I might have been completely insane. I mean, I'm fairly confident that had I mapped this out to a psychologist or something, I would have either immediately been thrown into a 10-step program to normality, or maybe given a bachelor's degree in child psychology on the spot. Whatever the case may have been, and I have a sneaky suspicion that the first case may have been the most likely, but I can dream can't I? Whatever the case, I have realized in these last two years that there is nothing I regret more than the way I acted for the first eleven years of school.

But, maybe I am being a little self-centered, I mean, this is a speech for the whole class, right? I guess I think we all had some version of this map in our heads, as much as we hate to admit it. And maybe you abolished this belief system long ago, and maybe some of you still adhere to it, but either way you have to admit that this does in some way apply to all of us. And this leads me to the point I really wanted to make with this whole speech.

We are all starting anew. We are all being handed a blank ticket for the rest of our lives. These last thirteen years have been the warm-up, now the game is going to start. And after watching all our old practice footage, let me give everyone this advice. Don't ever impose limits on who you think you can be friends with. For that matter, don't ever impose any limits on yourself, because these limits are always ones that shouldn't exist, yet they are the hardest ones to break. It took me almost twelve years to realize that there is no reason I shouldn't be friends with every single person here. It doesn't matter if you transferred to our school last week or you have been here since the first day of kindergarten, I should be your friend. And if I am, good. And if I'm not, I apologize, I'm the one to blame. But from this moment, whether you guys like it or not, I am going to consider you all my friends.

And now, before I finish this speech, I have to apologize once more. It occurs to me now that I could have summed this whole thing up into one or two sentences. I think they would have gone something like this: 'Hi everybody, I just wanted to say that as I stand here, I see two-hundred and twenty-six people who have incredibly bright futures and I just wanted to tell you guys that I think all of you are my friends. Because when everyone's really rich and famous, I'm going to want to think that I was your friend in high school. It's the only thing that's going to impress my kids. Thanks.'

But they probably wouldn't have let me come up here and just say that, so I stand by my speech. Thanks everyone for the great memories, and now if you'll excuse me, I'd better go try and salvage my image.

That. Was incredible.

Did you find that somewhere, or write it yourself? And I dont think I will use the Simpsons quote, because although it is a pretty sweet quote, I dont think my administrators would apreciate it as much as you and me. Well my thing is half done and I'm going to bed. Guess i will finish it inbetween tests tomorrow. Thanks for the advise J.D. without you I would have probably stole my friends valedictorian speech.

 
it was the speech at my school this year
