Don't sell yourself short. I remember parts of the speech I heard. And congratulations. It probably took a lot of hard work to accomplish that honor.I know that no one is going to remember this speech in a few months time, but I would still like to put effort in and deliver a good one.
Oddly enough, I remember the one at my graduation, as well. I have no idea why. It wasn't particularly interesting, insightful, or witty, but I remember it nonetheless. The speaker talked about the book The Prophet by Khalil Gibran. It should have been forgettable, but I suppose these things make an impression on us in spite of out best efforts not to care.
