<p>Hi everyone. I noe this subject has nothing to do with getting into college or college at all but I didn’t no where to get advice from lots of people. I have to make a farewell speech n the one part in the speech i didn’t no if it was too cocky or not so ur opinion would be greatly appreciated:</p>
<p>“12 years ago, I came to this area without knowing a word of English, and now, I stand before you as our class valedictorian. As your valedictorian, I’m only one of the many talented students who work hard to achieve.”</p>
<p>too cocky? or not?</p>
<p>It sounds like you’re stroking your ego, but your intent is obviously different. I would come up with something else, if I were you.</p>
<p>instead of saying “I stand before you as our class valedictorian,” maybe say “I count myself among you, and am given the honor of imparting a few words.” Actually, that’s not very good, but something to that extent.</p>
<p>I don’t really see a problem with it. But where have you been? You deserted us all!</p>
<p>arghhh graduation’s in a couple hours…wut if i changed it to:</p>
<p>“12 years ago, I came to the Hazleton area without knowing a word of English. Since then, I have come a long way; however, I’m only one of the many talented students who work hard to acheive.”</p>
