Valedictorian Speech
Good evening ladies and gentlemen,_____________________. I am honoured to be here as a valedictorian, representing the class of 2014/for this year’s speech day. When my teacher notified me that I was the valedictorian, I could not believe it at first. I was dumbfounded, and I did not know what to say during my speech. But now as I stand over here, there is a lengthy speech for me to say, and I owe it to the teachers who have helped me through. Without them, my paper would still be blank.

As I thread around the school, there is this nostalgic feeling that still follows. It was just like yesterday that I entered the school as a clueless secondary 1 student. I still remember Mr Loh saying “Once an Outramian, always an Outramian.” Now, I am proud

Although the teachers are the first point of contact in the school, but the people in the background are also important. For example the cleaners in the school that maintain the cleanliness of the school, making it an appropriate study environment. Also, the people in the general office, the principal, vice-principal, OM so on so forth. Without them, the school would not have been the same, and paperwork would not have been done. The teachers have also done their part, planning lessons, marking school work, taking care of classes, and I believe they deserve a round of applause. I think they are extraordinary people who carry out their task very well. It is very heartwarming to see teachers treating each and every one of us in the class as their own children. How everyone matters to the teacher; how our problems are also their problems. They not only are our teachers, but are also like our second parents and the school is like our second home. Although everyone has gone their own pathways and moved to new “homes”, there is still some kind of attachment to the school that is …show more content…
Just this year, some of the graduated seniors came back to help out in hand with the teachers as facilitators. Although we have graduated from Outram, but this experience has taught us new things that we were not taught in class.
I have no idea how I have survived past the 4 years in Outram, but it was gone in a flash. I have made many fond memories that I will cherish, and I believe everyone would too.
Tonight, we are gathered here today to witness the accomplishments of students from Outram, and I would like to congratulate all awardees. I would also like everyone to strive for the best and keep up the good

    We’re meeting here today one final time as a class to celebrate the end of our high school lives, and the beginning of our new ones. We walked into this room as the Class of 2012, and although we may always remember ourselves as that, tomorrow marks the day when a common bond we all share is broken. We will be leaving high school for good. We will all travel different paths, make different choices, and live different lives.…

    The reality is, I didn’t even want to write this speech. I felt it was just another assignment out of the many thousands I had done before; and, yet another way to waste my time (and cramp my fingers in the process). I contemplated not even doing the assignment but, I couldn’t help but be intrigued with a school asking me to write a graduation speech before I’d even begun a single course. I’d been to many schools and none assumed I’d graduate….it was different. In a way, it made me proud. So, a few hours before the assignment was due I settled down and decided to write this speech. And today, you’re forced to listen…that was supposed to make you laugh, so if you didn’t somebody put a laugh track here now.…

    It is an honor and a pleasure to stand before you as valedictorian of the class of 2012, and the student with the highest grade point average in our class of 173. I would first of all like to thank those who have helped me arrive at this point. I thank my father, who made sure that I always did my very best. I also want to thank my mother, who always reminded me that I was capable of great things. I want to thank the rest of my family, especially my older sister, as well as my teachers and friends. I must say our class is one of the most intelligent and capable classes. Any number of us could have achieved this valedictorian honor. But this is also one of the classes where students have the habit of leaving things for the last minute, and I must confess that there is a bit of that same spirit in me. I apologize for having left the preparations for this speech for the last minute.…

    When I first came to this school, I was like, “Will I survive this world? What will happen to me?” while slowly imagining things of the future. Maybe some of us were like this when we took our first step on the gates of this school as a student here, specifically, a freshman student. For we never know what will happen in the next few days, in the next few hours and minutes but there’s always that positive side of our minds that hopes for good things. Well, maybe back then, you never dreamed to write but now you are a journalist of our school, a member of the newspaper staff and a back-to-back first placer in all press conferences; division, regional and national. Maybe, you never wanted to be a player because you don’t know any sport but now, you are a proud athlete representing our school during IRAA, R1AA and CSDAM meets. Maybe, that time when you only wanted to be a meritorious student in your class, now you’re an honor student. And many more maybe’s and but now’s. But what’s more important than making great achievements out of just dreaming them or of not, is when you enjoy what you do and love it. To those who still haven’t found what they are capable of and to those who are still on the process of achieving their goals, time will come and you will be proud of yourself soon. But of course, we are all still on the way of making new and many goals and achievements in our life.…
