How can I make my valedictorian speech entertaining?

Im Valedictorian and Ive been working on my speech, but I need some ideas to keep the audience entertained and especially the students. I want the speech to be professional, but not put the audience to sleep. Any suggestions?
Answer: It's important that you crack some jokes. Usually, references to the more eccentric faculty members get a lot of laughs (so long as you represent them in a positive fashion). You could also incorporate some funny stories or observations that you made during your time in school. Naturally, don't mention anything offensive. Though you may feel obligated to, try to keep the "hopes and dreams" and "future" talk to a minimum. This is the quickest way to turn the crowd off, inducing a plethora of yawns in the process. It's also expected and extremely cliché, especially considering the fact that all of the other speakers will be saying the exact same things. Most importantly, *****keep your speech to under a page*****! Make it short, sweet, and potent. Not only will your peers appreciate it, but you'll be complemented on your delivery. Finally, be true to who you are. If you do that, you're sure to make your speech worthy of remembrance. Good luck!

How do you put valedictorian or AP test scores taken senior year on a college application?

Considering you take a senior AP/IB test your senior, and most colleges require you to apply in your junior year? Also, you dont really know if youre Valedictorian until your senior year, so how do the colleges know?
Answer: They don't know. Colleges will get your AP scores for APs taken in the senior year after the results come out in July and if your school ranks (many don't), they will only know if you are Valedictorian when they receive a final transcript after you've enrolled. If a college profile says they have so many Valedictorians, they are basing this information on the current freshmen class from figures taken from final transcripts.

Valedictorian?

how do you become Valedictorian for your high school? i think you have to have a high GPA. Is your GPA gotten from your credits in your junior year? Or is it from all you 4 years? I really want to become Valedictorian.
Answer: The rules vary from school to school, so you need to find the rules for your particular school to see the exact requirements. A common method is that the person with the highest grade point average for the four years of high school is chosen. Some schools do not include some classes in the calculations. Courses that might not be included would be physical education, orientation, art electives, band, or other non-core courses. Usually anything that is taken on a pass/fail basis is excluded. AP or other advanced classes are sometimes given extra credit when computing the GPA. For example, and A+ in an AP course might be considered to be a 4.6 while and A+ from a regular honors class might be a 4.3.

How would I go about becoming valedictorian or salutatorian in college?

Honestly, my high school career was pretty much mediocre. I didnt push myself as hard as I would have liked to, but thats the past and now I am looking forward to the future. I know I can do this. What would you recommend as advice or tips on becoming a college Valedictorian or salutatorian? Or at least in the top 10%. I plan to attend the Naval Academy, if that helps. Thanks!
Answer: The US Naval Academy is an intense school filled with very good students who are doing a lot of other competitive things in addition to academics. If you're a midshipman, all you need to do to impress other people with your college performance is graduate. If I were you I would just focus on doing my best and not worry about being in the top 10%.

How should I write a speech as valedictorian in medical assisting?

Im not sure if Im Valedictorian just for the medical assisting school or the whole campus. Im not sure where to begin in writing my speech. It only has to be 3 minutes long and I dont know the guidelines. The graduation ceremony is next Saturday. Any tips for writing a Valedictorian speech would be appreciated.
Answer: Create an introduction. To begin you should consider a good way to get the audience's attention, so that they stay focused on you and you only during your speech, and not the hockey game back home on their 50" plasma screen. Although beginning by introducing yourself and telling about the Valedictorian role might be the clearest, it is also the dullest. Use something funny, or a quote to begin, and be enthusiastic. Start things off with a BANG (not literally) to get people awake and ready to listen! Thank those that made a difference in your life. Shortly after, it is best to say a few thank yous to teachers, principal, and maybe a few volunteers. Although it would be ideal to make up paragraphs for each and everyone, you don't have the time, and the audience doesn't have the patience. Keep each thank-you short and sweet, and, although not making it fully comedic, add in a laugh or two. Friendly, and all in good fun, of course. Another thing to remember is that most parents would prefer you give them a quiet hug and a thanks after your graduation in the comfort of your own home rather than you giving a sappy intro about how wonderful they are. Not that they aren't, because your parents are the reason you are here today. They rock! Just, not everyone knows them so just give them hugs and break it to them nice and slowly that they can't be in the speech. Add in memories. Now the time has come to discuss the school you are leaving. Talk about some cool events or spirit days that have happened this year. Dances and class parties work well. Also, talk about something unique to your school or grade. For example, you could discuss about how you all came to the school shy, nervous, and separated, and now you're one big group of friends, and the process to that stage. There are many possible ways to work this part of the speech. Acknowledge others. Eventually, you'll want to talk about the people's accomplishments. You may want to recognize the student of excellence, or how well your sports teams did during the season, or the person who got straight A's every term. Talk about all groups of people, not just the ones you are friends with. If you discuss funny happenings, make sure at least 85% of the people know what you are talking about. If you want to say stuff like, we have candy fanatics, shopaholics, a guy who can make cards disappear, etc. go for it. Just be more specific than I was there. Also, it might be more interesting to not use names, to get your classmates thinking about who you may be talking about. Again, make sure they can easily figure it out. Add quotes. There are two parts to a quoting section in a Valedictorian speech. One way, you can take wise quotes from the Internet or a book to inspire people. You can also get people's insight on the year. Ask classmates to give you a few things about what they thought about the past year. Good, bad, happy, sad, it all works. Get stuff from nerds, geeks, jocks, cheerleaders, popular, lonely, emo, glee club, and every type of person in between. Put an ad in the school newspaper, send out emails, post flyers. You'll have people talking to you left and right, and you may even make a few friends as well. Conclude your speech. To end your speech, you'll want to wrap up the year in a few words. Give your insight on the year in 2 or 3 sentences, and thank people for coming. Finally end it by bringing people into an applause for the graduates. Every one deserves to be congratulated!

How do I become valedictorian of my community college?

I have a 4.0 GPA at Essex County College and Im in the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. Do i need to be PTK President in order to be Valedictorian?
Answer: Do you even have a Valedictorian? We didn't when I graduated community college - we just had the top 10% who got to wear honor cords and PTK members wore sashes and a gold tassel instead of the black one.

Arkansas' 'egregious' valedictorian scandal: Racist? - The Week

A black teenager earns her school's top GPA, but still has to share her status as Valedictorian with a white student.

How do I make my Valedictorian Speech sound like its my voice, and not just a paper?

OK so I am in a Humanities class and I have to write a Valedictorian Speech for the class of 2010. I have written one and let a friend read it, but it sounds more like an essay paper rather than a speech. Any tips on how to make it sound more like myself?
Answer: Add some jokes in it. Really, add jokes. Don't try to make it sound excessively formal. Formality is required, but don't try to sound like a lawyer trying to prosecute a convict. Also, practice in front of a mirror to build more charisma. Speak lightly, but seriously. Congratulations on being Valedictorian of your class!

What are some themes for a valedictorian speech?

Im the Valedictorian, but i dont want my speech to be the normal Valedictorian speech. I want it to be fun to listen to. My problem is that I dont know what my overarching theme should be. Ive researched and the only theme ive seen is about labels placed on you. Any ideas?
Answer: http://www.ceoblues.com/archives/2003/may/Valedictorians Check this out I am sure it will help. Best of luck. This is the best advice I saw though. 1. stay away from politics and religion 2. u can go with reminiscing with the class and such - its safe i guess but not all too original or interesting 3. most good speeches have an unoriginal inspirational theme but done in an original way 4. talk to people for ideas - talk to everybody - parents/friends/peers/teachers if i think of anything else - ill post again for now - GOOD LUCK - know what your going through - lol

What would happen if a valedictorian refused any awards offered?

Suppose a girl graduates Valedictorian of her class, and she: 1) Refuses to give a speech at graduation 2) Refuses to appear on TV where they show all the Valedictorians of the area schools 3) Refuses to accept any scholarships to college 4) Attends local community college instead of a university
Answer: The earth would open up...the seas would boil... IT WOULD BE THE END OF THE WORLD!...just kidding. Seriously, she can do whatever she wants. I would just advise her to think long and hard about why she is denying it. The refusal to give a speech or appear on TV may not have any lasting impact, but your points #s 3 and 4 may be decisions that would affect her later on down the line (not that I'm putting down community colleges or anything like that). Some people may consider the Valedictorian's behavior odd, and may even feel insulted (including her parents) because it may come across as either snobbish or unappreciative. For that reason, if she is refusing the honor in an attempt to make some type of social statement, then, I would respectfully suggest that this girl needs to first consider the mindset of her audience. Will they even understand the point she is trying to make?

How do I become the valedictorian of my high school?

I take all the advanced classes available, in which i earn high grades, and i am involved in many extracurricular activities as well as volunteer services. Do you have any tips on how to become the Valedictorian without trying to hurt those with higher gpa than mine?
Answer: Study. You will need Straight A's your entire senior year, and the Advanced Classes will help boost your GPA if the point system for Advanced/Honors classes is weighted. For Example, in my High School regular classes were worth 4 points for an A, Honors Classes were worth 4.5, and AP (Advanced Placement) Classes were worth 5 points. A "good" general rule of thumb for studying is for every hour in class, two hours outside of class. A good way to study is to outline the entire chapter to start with, as you study your notes, rewrite the outline, taking out the information you remember easily. keep rewriting the outline until your test on the chapter. the night before the test you should be the most comfortable, and have the shortest outline. This method works well for Science and History Classes, and is a big reason why i graduated with a 3.3 instead of a 2.0.

Where can I find a free yet good Valedictorian speech?

I am graduating Grade 8. Because of this, I must write a Valedictorian speech. Two problems however because one I moved from school to school quite a bit so I have nothing much to write about the school I am in currently. Second, Its due in 4 hours. Its currently 3:57 and my school starts at 8:50. I need to write the Valedictorian speech, then write an essay, and study for two tests! Someone please just give me a free Valedictorian speech.
Answer: You need to have more confidence in yourself! If your grades are good enough for you to be the Valedictorian, then you must have learned how to juggle studying, extracurriculars, etc. at quite a young age and I'm sure that you must be pretty adept. Trying to copy a "free" speech is a big mistake! Some schools will reprimand you and even take your status away if you copy a speech and someone finds out. Please don't do this. Take your time and write one. It is okay to ask for help, but it is not okay to steal a speech. Years afterward, you will thank yourself for your honesty.
