I'm trying to write my valedictorian speech right now (we're supposed to have a rough draft by tomorrow) and I am having a total brain block!! Any ideas?? :idea: I kind of know what I want to say, but I'm having a little trouble getting started...

Any suggestions would be appreciated, THANKS!! :)

Just start out going though memories.

I try to stay away from being a valadictoian, too much work.

make sure to NOT talk about " my first day as a freshman i couldnt even open my locker"

every speech starts off with that.....

i say start off by farting into the microphone- that'll get some attention :P

i was FAAAAR from being a valedictorian, so i really have NO idea on how to start, ask your friends\classmates, they should be able to help...

I'd stay away from the future, you can't talk about what you don't know about (why am I writing this, you needed the help last night). Talk about what you'll miss not going to school there. THANK THOSE TEACHERS WHO HELPED YOU ALONG THE WAY.............BY NAME! They don't make sh*t and they work so hard to help you guys. Just give them a little thanks out loud. That's all I've got. Later...........Mike "the Geezer"
P.S. Oh yeah, be the most popular kid in the class by KEEPING IT SHORT! 5 minutes tops.
