I wasn’t much for graduation ceremonies: I went to my HS graduation, but skipped both my undergrad and grad ones.
And my high school ceremony kinda sucked. I mean, it was fine, but we voted on a class song—Van Halen’s version of “Happy Trails”—and the administration nixed it as too, I dunno, fun. And the speech—which, again, was fine—was more for the parents than the kids.
Anyway, here’s a speech worth listening to. The first half is the usual thank you thank you thank you, but then it gets. . . interesting.
Brava.
