Valedictorian Speeches (B2D)

Valedictorian or graduation speech is a farewell speech given at a graduation ceremony. It was my intention to ask each one of you to prepare one to give during the third term. Alas, the COVID 19 pandemic put an end to my plans. It will be a virtual farewell instead.

I'd like you to take some time to reflect on these past few years at school and to think about what you'd like to say to your classmates and teachers if you had the chance. Think back and try to recapture those moments which will stay with you for ever, your very first day, all the good and bad memories ...  You are about to embark on a new adventure, so you might also like to talk about your hopes for the future. But don't panic! It does not have to be a formal speech, just a few thoughts and memories.
