Who has to give a Valedictorian /Salutatorian Speech?

So I'm the valedictorian and I'm going to have to make about a 3 minute speech. Then there are a pair of co-salutatorians... Anyone in the same boat as I? And I have no idea what to say either.
 
Talk about the powerful regret you feel, having wasted 4 years of your life studying that extra 4 hours a day, while everyone else in your class was learning about how to be a normal human being. Explain how much of your recent life was spent in a book or on an internet forum and that you've wasted some of the most precious years attaining intangible letters that appear on a sheet of paper. That you are still a virgin, suffer from being socially awkward, and that you have no clue about what you really want to do in life since you spent so much time bowing to parental pressure to do what made them happy.
 
Here is the speech everyone will expect:

"We are the future. We are the leaders of tomorrow. We will end racism/hate/war. We will build a better future for our kids...blah blah blah."

Do something unique, like insulting the school for being retarded and saying how 50% of the school population will die due to drug overdose, the rest due to gang wars. That would be cool.
 
"You really don't give a fvck what I'm going to say, so I'm just going to sit down so you can get out of here and go get drunk at your graduation parties sooner." <-- that's all.

Boys are dumb😛! All the val/sal at are school are females, kinda surprising actually.
 
I was valedictorian of my high school class, but wasn't required to give a speech at graduation, thank goodness. I am by no means a good public speaker, especially with 3,000+ people watching. Instead, members of my graduating class were able to try-out for the position, and then two were chosen to deliver short speeches.

Of course, both of them talked about the usual graduation stuff, as others have already mentioned. IMO, you can make this relatively boring and repetitive speech exciting if you include as many class-mates in it as possible, somehow tieing in the various memories and things that they are all known for in your school. I love speeches like that.

Best of luck, and congratulations on being valedictorian.
 
i never went to a graduation

i went to a private school, hated it, finished at a community college that offered high school courses with a diploma...and probably ahd pizza or fragged on the night they did the graduation stuff; i hate graduations...actually i hated school, and didnt pick my diploma up for about 8 months
 
cool. You probably typed your last post in your underwear, while your mom was in the next room, having just completed doing your laundry.

Aren't salutorians supposed to be male anyway?
 
I've go it. go up to the podium and clear your throat. Pause for a minute and say

1. The New York State lotto jackpot is now 6 million dollars.

OR

2. I like cheese, that is all.

and sit down.

do it.

i was valedictorian in 2000 with 18 others. YUP, 18 other for a total of 19. our school doesn't weight gpa's so everybody who never got a B was in. we made up a poem and each read a line. it was pretty retarded.

edit: :camera:s?
 
Nobody's going to put any time into remembering what you have to say. Why should you put time into thinking about it?
 
honestly, i graduated 2 years ago and i cant remember what a single person said. why? cuz they always say the same thing. the only thing i remember was a funny joke one of the speakers made but nothing about speechs

The only problem with that is the valedictorian/speech regurgitator is probably a tool, and would give shout outs to his/her/its cliquey friends, making the speech entirely lame. Maybe if you went to some preppy private school where everyone is buddy buddy and will end up sitting around foyers, sipping brandy in snifters and appreciating fine art, that would work. But in any other normal high school, I can't see it working beyond the top students 1337 group of friends.

and now, time for my comedy omg its a girl and she's the valedictorian response.
