I think everyone can work on learning to serve others - after all most of you are going to be in the work force if you aren't already, and those who are going onto higher education should also have that attitude of serving others in mind. So here is a link with some cool quotes that might help. Good luck.

Well, I gave a speech at my college graduation, and I tried to draw on life experiences not only I had, but a lot of other people graduating at the time had them, too.  Pick things that aren't just about you, but make sure you can incorporate them without make the whole speech about your life.  Mention people who helped get you (as a class) get you to where you are today.  The more you can relate it to your audience (which includes administrators, family, and your classmates), the more successful it will be.

I would definately try out www.sparknotes.com that's where I get most of my info for english class. And they usually have a section called "important quotes explained"

"Have a good one."\n(I find this to be rather presumptuous... have a good WHAT?)\n\n"At the end of the day..."\n(No reason, really, just one of those phrases I cordially detest.)\n\n"You think too much," or "You have too much free time."\n(Just because it would have taken YOU several hours to come up with the same deduction, that doesn't mean I didn't do so in mere seconds.  My typical rebuttal is, "Or, perhaps you think too little.")\n\n"May or may not be the case."\n(Right... it either will, or it won't.  Standard law of probability; just PICK ONE!)\n\n"Welcome to the real world."\n(Said nearly every time something bad happens.  I don't need my problems downplayed by someone who feels they have more life experience than I do.  I've never quite understood what "pretend world" they're insinuating I've spent the last couple of decades living in...)\n\nOh, there are so many more.  I'm very irritable about this sort of thing, and tend to avoid cliches like the plague.  :)

I agree with the poster above, try to come up with an interesting fact about TJ, then weave that into your intro while at the same time introducing what's to come.  Try to pick a fact that you could use at the end to close and summarize in the same way.

You could include in your essay at least a little respect for the language that you are writing in. For me it is about finding the best or most appropriate word to describe the circumstance without resorting to an expletive or taking the language into the gutter. You could start by rephrasing your request for help. A simple “please help me,” as I have shown a total disregard to my teacher asked me to write an article on respect as an atonement for it. In the end, it will be meaningless, if you ask someone else to do the work for you. You can only move forward as a human being if you learn to respect those who have done so much to educate you. From the person who cleans the classroom, to the head of the school or college you should treat all people with kindness and respect. It is for you to learn how to be the best human being that you can. One day you will be an adult and I hope that you will have tried to put this into practice or your world will be a very shallow place. This is only about two hundred words, but you know the reasons why you are to write the piece. I hope that you will undertake it in the right spirit.

I have a few quotes that I really like.\n\n"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams"  Elenor Roosevelt\n\n"Presence is more than just being there"  Malcolm Forbes\n\n"The only genuine love worthy of a name is unconditional."  John Powell\n\n\nHope these are helpful!  Congrats, and Good Luck

In college I did one on Saint Bernards.  For my visual, At this end of the speech I had my bf wait outside with my dog a (Saint Bernard) and he brought him in the class.  The instructor LOVED it and I got an A!\nAnyway, just give a speech on something you love, or a hobby or something.  That way you wont have any problem coming up with something to say.

Aaaa ... ok. Now I see the fine print. I was going to suggest you tweak your quote to something like, "to be a great speaker, you really need ideas." Maybe you can rework it in a clever way to include both ideas.

Use an old paper that you got an A on and turn it into a speech.  I did this often in my speech class... I'd take an essay I had to write for english (with a good grade) and make a speech out of it.  Chose something you feel passionate about (this is important - because if you get lost during the speech, you can say anything that comes to mind)... write up an intro, three points, and a conclusion.  Simple.

"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.

hmm...how about school policies maybe even the ones at your school like the tardy policy for/against it (I did this speech at my school and they actually changed it)

I like these two the best:\n\n" 3 kinds of people: those who can count and those who can't "\n " Time is the best teacher and unfortunally it kills all of it's students"\n\nLove all of them though.\n\nHere's some:\n\n " I love animals, they taste great. "\n "  EARTH FIRST! We'll stripmine the other planets later. "\n " Few women admit their age. Few men act theirs. "\n " I is a college student. "\n " What happens if you get scared half to death twice? "

There are lots of poems on line for and about teachers.  check out the websites I've included.  The poesms are not necessarily good-bye poems, but some of them would work I think.  \n\nI hope these help.

OK, you are about to graduate from elementary and move on to high school I presume.  These are your friends, what shared experiences do you have?  What memories are you taking with you as you move on?  Is there one particular teacher that inspired everyone?  Talk about that.  Talk about where you will be after graduation, talk about the journey you are on in life.  Lighten it up with a David Letterman style top 10 list of .... whatever seems best.  Couples who will start dating in high school.  Teachers who will retire, use your imagination. \n\nRemember, a good beginning, a good conclusion, and be brief in the middle.\n\nGood luck.  (If you are prone to being nervous doing public speaking, just imagine the audience naked.)
