I need to write a graduation speech for my cousin?
Be calm, say it as your cousin would say. start with a quote, an interesting quote about school. like, my mother always said that if you were happy, your life would be too. when i went to school, my teacher asked me what i wanted to be, i wrote down "happy" she told me i didn't understand the assingment... i told her she didn't understand life. then continue on with how much fun they had in school, what friends they made, ups and downs, fond memories, maybe another quote, and finish off with a big voice build up. Something about your last days of school and what you'll do with your life.
How do I write a good graduation speech?
Think about experiences you had at the school and what each of them meant for you. You can ask yourself whether you changed after starting the school? If yes, how did you exactly change, and what was the impact of the school on these changes. Also, you can share lessons that this school taught you. Maybe there are success stories you’d like to share that happened during the time you were studying at the school. Or you can tell about challenges you faced or your friends faced (though ask them first if they are not against it).It is important to think about structure of the speech you want to develop and a catchy beginning of your speech. And at the end make a lesson of your whole speech.You can get more helpful tips here: Very Effective Writing Tips.And great samples of speeches here: How to Deliver a Graduation Speech
Should I write a graduation speech for my cousin?
Alright well my cousin is graduating from high school in a couple of months (class of 2012.) This 2011-2012 school year i was a freshman and she is a senior, pretty cool. Well she's like my sister and my best friend. I've always been close with her every since we were younger and its sad that now she's leaving the high school and she's off to college in the fall. :( I know this is kind of early well really early but i either want to make a short speech or a poem about the years we have had together. When we were younger we were close but we didn't like each other in a cute family type of way and then as we got older we would have sleepovers all the time and hang out and its all gone by so fast. I want this speech or poem to be a good one she'll remember. Should i write it for her? if so can you guys please help me start it off, I'm really bad with creative writing. **id rather it be a cute/funny poem**

How do I write a unique graduation speech (middle school)?
My advice? Don’t.Just thank your teachers, your parents, your family. Recall a favorite teacher, maybe a particular event that was enjoyable (a field trip, a special school event). If you are moving up to the same school your middle-school friends will be attending, then tell them you look forward to seeing them next year.One more time thank everyone, then call it quits and sit down.
What should I talk about for my graduation speech?
Congratulations on being the valedictorian from your class! That is something to be very proud of.In regards to your speech, it can be quite intimidating to encapsulate your entire school experience into one speech. Here are some ideas on how to gather your thoughts and create a focus around which you’ll create your presentation.Brainstorm the life lessons you learned in your school and life experience. Perhaps your big lessons were about the importance of failure, or about how checking off a to-do list isn’t nearly as important as having values. Perhaps your main lesson was that trying to impress people doesn’t work, or that the only people we can change are ourselves. Writing out all the things you learned will help you find a focus around what you want to share.Consider including appreciation into the mix as well. Make a list of everything you appreciated during your time in school.Then, make a list of all the main stories and memories you have from your time in school. Something the entire audience can relate to - not just your friends. Perhaps about something the entire school experienced together, or favorite teachers, or perhaps something your school is proud of. It will come off as inclusive and welcomed by all.Then, after you brain storm, start putting the pieces together, with an even amount of story telling and appreciation, with a smattering of “lessons learned” at the end.Consider listening to a few other speeches on youtube to see what style you like. And imitate that a bit to get your started.Also practice reading it a few times in front of a group, to get a feel for how they will respond and how you written words sound out loud.And one very important thing to remember - you do not have to put everything and the kitchen sink into your speech. In fact, people prefer speeches to be to the point, clear, and succinct. So keep it simple, and only include the best of your potential material.In the end, if you are sincere, authentic, and focus on sharing yourself with the audience, it will inspire your audience, and be something you can be proud of.And don’t forget to have one of your family or friends record it for posterity, in case you end up president one day!Congratulations and good luck.
What should I say in my graduation speech?
First of all, CONGRATULATIONS! I would recommend that you start off by a quote or saying that you have followed/led your life by. Then follow it up by citing examples, anecdotes, and situations in which that saying helped get you to where you are today. Do not make your speech a "Thank You" note to your family and other loved ones. Yes, do thank them, but do not make them your primary focus. Remember that you are a representative of your class, so try to include everyone in your speech in some way. Does that make sense? Also, do not talk solely about yourself and your achievements. Talk about the different successes that the class has experienced as a whole. Mention things such as different events that were held at the school, obstacles that the school has had to overcome during your 4 years there, and victories you all have experienced (including scholastic achievements, such as test scores). Well, that will give you a start. I helped my students with their speeches while I taught high school, so good luck and be very proud of your accomplishments! Way to go!
