Valedictorian! Anyone heard of it?

The Valedictorian is someone who represents the graduating class and presents a speech during the graduation ceremony. I'm aiming for that.

I have to write a speech about graduating.

Can anyone give me any good points to mention or to bring up during my speech?

+Rep ;]

Completely bumlick the school so they like you (more likely to be picked) - say something about how you've "learned so much" and how school's been "the best time" in your life, but add in some subtle jokes to lighten the mood of a potentially boring occassion. Be cheery, and don't babble on about something completely irrelevant or go off a tangent about something, it'll bore the listeners, which you certainly don't want to do.

Good luck with it, the most important thing to remember is to be confident.

Thanks :) Good idea :P I'm almost finished

I've heard of valedictorian, my brothers friend is it this year. Don't think I could help out much with the speech, I'm not very good with them, I guess just try not to read it but talk to the people, and be confident and comfortable.
