The text of David McCullough Jr’s High School Graduation Speech The text of David McCullough Jr’s high school graduation speech was very agreeable. Most individuals address graduating as a finish line, once it’s reached everything is just done, but David views graduating as a beginning to life. He compares a diploma to a spouse by reciting some of the traditional marriage vows with his own input. If someone can not commit thirteen years of their life for school, how can they expect to commit their whole life to another human being?
Throughout David’s speech, he insinuates to his fellow graduates that they are not special (paragraph 5). A lot of girls and even some guys need to learn this.
