Graduating at the top of your class is truly a feat for anyone! Your fellow classmates will look up to you. Your teachers will admire you.
But then, you’d have to deliver a graduation speech which you will present to a wide audience. So how do you go about this? Below are some speech topics you can write about:
1. Goals for the future
As we all pass through the portals towards a new life ahead of us, we always have to set goals and objectives for tomorrow. By that, give an inspirational speech reminding your fellow graduates about planning ahead on what they ought to do with their lives in order to live with fulfillment.
2. Past experiences and memories
We’ve all had our memorable moments, there’s no denying that. How about you tell stories to your fellow graduates? Happy times, bittersweet memories, possibly that time when you and some friends almost got suspended for petty mischief—just priceless.
3. Looking back to your roots
We often lose our way as we go on with our lives. As such, it is important to remind your fellow graduates to look back and remember those who’ve made you all into what you are today. After all, we wouldn’t be able to graduate, had we not been molded into what we are, would we?
4. Rising from failures
Failures are inevitable in life. It is important to be reminded of how failures can be very precious learning experiences. Perhaps even more important is the message of how we ought not to dwell in our failures and to rise up and move on instead. And that’s how we attain the many goals we have set for the future.
Now as you go on creating the perfect graduation speech, be open to other topic ideas that are likely to inspire your fellow graduates as well. There really are no right and wrong topics, as long as your speech contributes to making the occasion even more memorable. So go for it! After all, you can’t fail—even if you try!
