That was an amazing speech. I'm 55 and looking back he is right. Some dreams have turned to regret yet on my death bed I won't be thinking about what I didn't do. My thoughts will be on the amazing family I have and wish I would have spent more time with them I will hope I instilled good morals in my children but most of I will hope that they all know how much I loved them all.

I had dreams of becoming a professional baseball player. After destroying my arm playing D1 baseball that became an impossibility. I went into the Marines which I am extremely proud of. Blessings come in disguises as well. What at first seemed like the end of the world opened up the door to doing something I hadn't previously considered and not a day goes by where I don't cherish the memories with my fellow Marines. Pick yourself up when life brings you to your knees you might be surprised what you find.

Well, he clearly memorized everything he planned to say, and his speech is not without its cliches, but nevertheless, he still had an impressive delivery. Lots of people here are saying that he'll likely become mediocre, and I'm not sure that's likely; after all, he is val, and it takes a lot of hard work to get there, so I'm sure his fire is not yet extinguished. However, it's clear that this guy is an optimist who follows the mantra that you'll always be able to follow your dreams, and that's obviously not true. No one should be discouraged from at least attempting to follow their heart's desire, but for pete's sake, you have got to devise a Plan B because of Plan A's improbability. Bright dude, just needs to be a bit morea real.

I was doing competitive debating / public speeches at that age... even so, it took me years and some training to become good at it in my 20s and beyond. This kid is gifted... that's why he's valedictorian, and will likely be a business leader or politician in the future.

So many haters smh. Lovely speech, whether or not you memorized it or said it from the heart, it was inspirational. Many people on here are just hating. I am a rising Senior with so much work to do, I probably won't have time to have fun or anything. Changing schools in the middle of high school, to one with more requirements will do that to you. I liked your speech. I'm a writer. I don't write much anymore, but I still do, and I want to continue doing so because I love it. This speech made me realize that my dream to write is not dead. No one ever discouraged me, but I know that writing alone will not be enough to live off of.

Not sure if I'm understanding the comments, but this young man is on point and ahead of his times

Awesome speech!!! Thank you!!! I was always told I could not pursue my Dreams! I am now 50, and I am so much wanting to do a 'creative' csreer- something in the artistic arena. I am good at it! It is my passion! I think God gave me this talent for a reason. We should always go after our dreams- it is a lack of Faith! I am going to not listen to all the ppl who want tyo pull me down to their level!!! Thank you- Again! If I cannot realize this in some way- there Is always a factotory or the medical field!!!!

This is fkin beautiful What a well rounded kid, bravo

WoW ‼️outstanding, what wisdom & insight ~ fantastic, empowering & WELL DONE‼️

Is that heavy set teacher in the pink sitting onstage in front of the whole class in a super-short skirt ???

i like to think it said RIP SPEECH IN HALF on first page

there's always people throwing shade of shine.

One thing my grandmother was right LOL I was the child who didn't fit in anywhere in high school lol those football trophies and awards don't get you much in life

I was a valedictorian in a small school but never got to do any speech with a graduation a year later where they forgot my name in my class list and then on the high achievers list. Shitty as hell school

The lack of public health care in America means people HAVE to be averse to risk.

High school teachers act like they are your parents, college/uni profs act like they are your buddy. If high school teachers weren’t so condescending, I think more kids would actually go on to a higher schooling.

Very original

Graduation speeches should never be about YOU, who you have sex with, YOUR agenda, etc. It should be something all graduates would admire when (if) they think about it later. SMH And I hate when people comment about looks, but that "lady" in the front row!!!!

Sometimes life is about a paycheck

High school was a difficult time for me I was a foot shorter than the girls 40 lbs overweight with crooked yellow teeth and a bad case of gas the ugliest girl in school would not give me the time of day so predictably I played with myself a lot and over time went blind

But by Graduation it’s too late!

I'm Just Saying This Because People In The Comments Say " Oh You'll Never Come Close To A VALEDICTORIAN "

Thief Ninja because getting good grades is hard for most kids much less having high enough grades to be a valedictorian. I graduated at the top of the class and the second best was far behind where I was. So he is special. We all are, but he had a great mind that can store much more than your topical high schooler. Most dont care enough to get A's because they want to start working right away while valedictorians might not always care but they still get through high school at the top. So you know they have to be different.

Is this the guy that founded OceanGate?

hahah... 2020 took these type of speeches away from me

And the people who have those voices who say those sentiments have power and can make decision That decides. Whether they do fail or whether they graduate, you can be expelled and someone can give you a bad grade just because they don't like you. They've done it before teachers are not unfallible. They are not perfect beings and they should not expect the same of us. We have to get everything perfect throughout the entirety of our lives. At what point do we no longer need math? Or science or history or english or biology or someone and so forth. We need it at first, but do we really need it forever? Especially if we want to go into something very specific. We have a dream to have an occupation that has nothing to do with some other thing. Yet you expect us to know that thing Inside and out or we don't move up. And if we can't do it ourselves without help, then we are meaningless. That's what you tell us and we take that in and we kill ourselves I was suicidal. And now I realize the truth that the teachers aren't willing to die on a hill. They're willing to kill on it. They are willing to sacrifice us for the sake of their curriculum and not change it to better suit us because we all learn differently and to force us to learn how they learn is to make us become them. We are our own people. And I will not become. Some twisted amalgamation of my teachers Thoughts and ideals. I don't care how many times I have to say it until this sentiment is said. By someone else the teacher's f****** face. Although I can't completely blame the teachers because A lot of them do care and actually, we'll change so that way it better suits you and better shoots everyone else. Achieving. What lots of people think is impossible and for a lot of people. It isn't possible because they don't have enough resources Time energy Or they think that why should I care when my paycheck doesn't reflect how much I care? And that is fair, but it isn't fair to us the students.

Sounded like vsauce

And also to tear us down not only lift us but tear us down . Fuck the haters Aim high and ACHIEVE GREATNESS ! The adults behind me , seem and feel insecure the moment he began talking about how typically people just are born study graduate gets career , have a family and then die . And he's right. The lady in the blue dress in the beginning tried to play off her insecuritiy by pointing somewhere else and tried to distract herself from the discomfort and slowly her body language spoke guilt of what the young man was speaking about lol but it's true . Also many lift you up when growing up , but iced had more kick me down while growing up then help me and it got worser as an adult . I had even MORE PEOPLE KICK ME DOWN AND SABATOGE MY PLANS OF SUCCESS WHICH IM STILL WORKING TORWARDS . THEYRE COWARDS . THEY NEED AN ARMY JUST TO TAKE ON ME .

Merica

6:28 - yet if your dream IS your plan-B, somehow that doesn't work either. Go figure.

Good speech. He also apparently has multiple hearts. Lizard people man.

I wish I could've gone to this school. I graduated this year on the same day - and while we got a huge center with thousands of people having their eyes on us - our valedictorians decided to embarrass themselves by being the whitest rappers possible, by rapping their speech - preventing anyone from getting the gist due to a shitty mic. On top of that though, there's no way this dude came up with this off his head in this video.

This sounds like a villain giving a speech to the citizens they are about to kill😂😂😂😂

If no dreams are too big, then my dream to become an awesome edgy hero who works in the shadows with supernatural powers is still possible! And if making a plan B means plan A will fail, I guess I should give up my plans on being a practical programer and just work hard at being a super hero! Lets start with getting a supernatural power! Just wait and see what I become in 10 years😎! Future me: Man... so glad I chose to be a programer, can't believe I tried being a superhero. Future future me: I'M FINALLY A SUPERHERO!!! I got physic abilities developed through technology at last! Now if only I weren't 86 years old and on my deathbed... Oh well, better make the best of this!

I'd rather make money first then follow my dreams using all that money then make more money if I succeed 😂

Okay.... this guy is giving a big speech...... how much does he actually live it??

Great speech but not all dreams come true snowflake. Not everyone can be an astronaut, an NFL football player, a runway model, a best seller. Sure don't give up on your dreams but more importantly...don't stay down when your dreams fail. Failure is all part of the game...how quickly you can recover from failure is the true mark of a successful person. The quicker you can get back up...the better. And don't be upset if your quest for your dream starts out by mopping floors. You have to earn your stripes.
