Here's an outline...add your own phrasing and word choices:\n--Gratitude for the opportunity to learn\n--Anticipation and the hope for positive chances in the future\n--Appreciation of the friends and associations made during the time in college\n--Request for guidance and maintaining open eyes and hearts for opportunity in the future\n\nYou want to make the opening and closing VERY generic... Start with a simple, "L-rd..." and go straight into the above. At the end, make it a simple "Amen."

"I need no introduction, so I shall conclude by saying ..."\n\nSeriously, if it is your "ice breaker" speech, I would advise you to steer clear of humour. I'm sure no one will be expecting anything fabulous. You have to work up to that. Don't try to be witty and clever with your very first speech. It might go over like a lead balloon and you will feel worse - you're already nervous as it is. Just stick to the facts.

The speech/essay needs to be personal.  If you pick a topic that you are familiar with and then try to relate it to a topic that will face all you peers in the near future.  I assume that this is a speech that will be given at graduation ceremony, so try to make it 5-10 mins long.  If you have a favorite story about your school, maybe an event that occurred during a school function would be best, like a winning touch down or anything else that will bring the students together.  But, do not try to sound too mature or "out of your league."  Just try to keep it simple and down to earth.  Good Luck!!!!

An inaugural address is the speech that each newly elected president gives after being sworn into office.  They give it to tell outline all the lies they plan to tell while in office.

See what you think of this...\n\nDear Sir/Madam:\n\n\nI recently was awarded one of two scholarships from your organization at my high school, Atlantic Community, at the Senior Awards Ceremony on May 17, 2006.  I cannot express in words how proud being the recipient of this scholarship makes me.\n\nI would like to thank you for finding me deserving of this honor.  With my family’s recent financial difficulties, being the recipient of your scholarship has removed a significant financial burden from my shoulders, which should allow me to focus all of my attention to my studies and achieving my goals as a college student.  For this I am eternally grateful.\n\nIt is my intention to work hard throughout college to prove that I am deserving of this honor and look forward to the day that I can invite you to my College Graduation as an expression of my gratitude.\n\nRespectfully,\n\n\nXXX

It depends on the individual ceremony, but technically, the salutatorian gives the opening speech. The word comes from the Latin word "salve" which means hello. The valedictorian gives the farewell speech. It comes from the Latin "vale" which means good bye.

It's a colleague, not a friend, so I would just keep it very simple.......\n\n"Congratulations on your new beginning"

Its always good to break the ice with a joke or witty remark. Dont worry about being nervous and shaky, if you are doing a speech for school everyone knows what you feel like. Be your natural self - dont try to be extremely proper or news anchorman like. Just be yourself, study what you wanna say, so you dont have to use to many notes. Use gestures and mimik where appropriate.

I like the idea of the framed photo. Parents always like stuff like that. Maybe you could even wait until after graduating to give it to them, so that you could get a photo of yourself in a cap and gown.\n\nOr even just a heartfelt letter of thanks may do the trick.
