You were picked for some reason- someone thought you had something to share with your class. At my DD’s graduation earlier this month, the six top students gave 2 minute speeches. The theme of the speeches was “Live Your Best Life”. Each student was assigned a topic. DD’s was education. The others were: technology, philanthropy, communication, innovation, and economics. You could go with something similar. Graduation speeches are usually full of advice for the graduates. Go ahead and offer your advice. You can work in how graduation is a beginning, not an end (hence, commencement). How K-12 is just a foundation. Nobody expects the Gettysburg address, just a few words, and they don’t really have to be profound.
