- Georgia Tech Sophomore Nick Selby gave incoming freshmen 10 tips for success. This is the full version of a welcome speech with an epic ending that is going viral. This speech was given at Georgia Tech Convocation on August 18, 2013.
"If you want to play theme music during your convocation speech like a bad ass, we're at Georgia tech, we can do that! I'am doing that!! "
Perfect. I love that part.
I'm amazed by his public speaking abilities.
The look on the freshmen faces just screams
"Are we going to end up to end up that cray after 1 year in this place?"
I am a college speech professor, and I am showing this speech to my classes on the first day.! Good stuff
I remember my freshmen convocation was nowhere near this badass.
Did he built the iron man suit yet? I waited for a year about this.
This is why people come to the US universities, it's the place of inspiration, innovation, creativity, hard work and making it happen!
This just makes me want to get into this school even more
My lecturer played this video during my first day at class … it inspired me throughout my studies and I’m forever grateful what GT has taught me. Seriously this is a great institution, second to none.
Freshmen everywhere should listen to that speech! Very inspiring.
This is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
WOW!!! That pumped me up and I'm 61 yrs old. Makes me want to go back to college. Great job.
i'm an art kid and i want to get into georgia tech after hearing this shit
You wanna blow a 20 point lead in the first quarter? You're at GT! You can do that!
Nick just graduated last week #youcandothat
This guy makes me want to go to Georgia Tech. "I am going to build the Iron Man suit"... I've been wanting to do that too. He has such charisma, energy, and passion. It's so nice seeing someone like that in school.
2013 REWIND
This is the actual greatest thing ever...I wanna do that and feel like that, the moment he finished his speech and got the ovation...I just wanna do that once..
Just got into Tech! 🐝
DUDEEEEEE
That left me thrilled!!
Damn amazing speech!!!
Please leave this up FOREVER! I plan to show it in my speech classes at Livingstone College. Thank you!
I loved the promotional clip from this that they showed during the Georgia Tech - Duke football game yesterday, complete with motto "You Can Do That". Wonderful job Nick, and well done GT!
I'm a Georgia Bulldog. But this gave me goosebumps!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It Gave GooseBumps for me too! :S
I hereby revoke your Dawg card.
Gives me chills every time
Oh it is so refreshing to see a young person that has some drive, intelligence, and that is well spoken.
Who ever picked Nick to give this speech knew what they were doing. My congrats!
All I can say is......Wow! Now that is how you give a speech. Very inspiring.
Good advice, fantastic delivery, love it! This guy ripped it and without a teleprompter...sophomore too!
Good content and great delivery.
I really hope I can get admitted to Georgia Tech! I am sending out the application tonight.
If I get admitted, and watch this video again two years later and see my own comment... god can't even imagine that feeling!
Philip Kuo did you get in? I’m a GT grad. Don’t give up.
DID YOU GET IN? I HAVE TO KNOW!!!!
DID YOU GET IN????
I didn’t end up getting into GT after being waitlisted & rejected, and getting rejected again after reapplying the year after, BUT I’ve now graduated from CS @ UIUC and am working as a software engineer, loving my job! I’ve come to learn that where you go to school doesn’t matter much, as long as you put in the dedication to learn, improve, and always strike to achieve more. To whoever sees this comment, I wish you good luck, and don’t stress yourself out, no matter where you go, you’ll be just fine!
This was awesome. .love it!!
I saw a bit of this on the morning news today and wanted to follow it up here. I enjoyed it! What amazed me was the number of nonplussed reactions there were to it. Passion and spirit are something to exalt not denigrate. When I looked into the eyes of Ayrton Senna I saw intensity. What I saw in Pat Tillman's eyes was focused energy. When I heard Nick Selby's speech he reminded me of them.
My grandfather would be proud of this young man. Go Tech !
Great job! Love it! Keep it up!
5:00 - 6:10
I almost cried. This was beautiful.
Flawless.
I can't believe I didn't saw this the last year :O It's amazing
Amazing speech! I laughed so hard at this! haha
well, he just earned any job he wants. ever.
OUTSTANDING
Applied to Tech this year. Hopefully I will watch this video after the results in March!
How’d it go
HOWD IT GOOO
it was just superb!!!
this guy is going places. well done sir.
Man I bet he is wearing clean undies right now
This is just amazingggg!!!!!
Omg best speech ever given to new students! If that doesn't get u pumped up about school I don't know will.
That was the most motivational speech I've ever seen...
Awesome this is why I want to attend Georgia Tech
He's awesome.
THIS IS AMAZING....!!!!
Huh. I start my junior year in high school next week, meaning I have to end my summer and start looking at colleges, and this actually made me excited to spend 1-2 years writing college essays and taking SATs. I never thought I'd say that, and during summer no less. Man, what a great speech. :)
So awesome.
I love this guy!!! that was awesome
To Daniel Timbs - this kid is doing a speech to inspire the incoming freshman and having them be glad to be at GA Tech. Those same students have parents there PAYING for this education. This was engaging, charming, full of insight beyond most 19-year-olds and brilliantly done. I wish he were my son. And, I'm guessing, Gwyneth Paltrow is really, really flattered.
Awesome speech! Badass
Stunning
Holy god! This is fully glorious and deserving of a massive fist pump!!! Haha I thought he was gonna summon the power of Thor from the sky at the very end. XD
none of the ladies undies were clean after that speech if ya get my drift. this may be GT's best recruitment video ever.
I am truly inspired.
This guy is awesome.....
Good one full of energy
It's been 4 years. I'm still waiting on that iron man suit.
Best advice ever "C-style indexing for an n length array is 0 to n-1 whereas in MATLAB it is 1 to n"
couldn't have given a better speech. This is how kids actually get to enjoy engineering.
PS love the dude on the right's outfit.
Amazing
YOU ARE A GOAT YOU CAN TO ANYTHING!!! (2013 rewind what does 2013 say ) lol
brings me here
...... Moritz S. what?
Awesome
Passion!!!!!!!!!
that was the whole point of this video getting admissions by showing some awesome stuff that rarely occur
my man can speak!
love it.
He's very correct. on every point.
Hahahahhhahhaha!! This is fucking hilarious! I love the passion and humor in his speech.
Best speech Evah!
I went to Ga Tech and this is exactly how I felt when I graduated.
you cant miss the classic: "Dude... we're on camera!" 6:16
Nailed it.
LOVE it ... I'd like to meet that debate coach at Desert Vista High School here in AZ
He rocks!!!
Wow! What a great speech he did. Now I understand what 'Badass' means. lol
This guy rocks!!!
I just got accepted for Fall of 2017, so pumped!
HOW WAS IT
Demyx wanted to make an Iron Man suit before It was cool
There are people that make things happen, people that watch things happen and there are people that wonder what happened. Those who make negative comments are in the special group that wont make anything happen because they are unwilling to take chances themselves so they make themselves feel better by commenting on those that make things happen. They can however change and make things happen!
The theme was written as the introduction to a much longer work, which was inspired by Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophical treatise of the same name.
However, even after all its use in everything from epic meditations on the future of humanity to the introduction of new commercial products; it still carries quite an impact.
JUST DO IT!!!!! -Shia Labeouf
what a badass...
That's exactly how EACH tech grad BETTER BE
I bet he tames so much freshman strange now.
*many*
5:34 nods his head..."NAILED IT" LMAO
AH-MAZING!
To quote the gentleman, "BAD ASS!"
I was there when he gave that speech...
RUclips rewind brought me here
wow!
Like a boss
In high school we were challenged to present a speech to inspire. Nick did it! Did you see the smile on the guy over his left shoulder (the one who might be a significant part of the upper echelon on the university)? Did you notice that he did not stand behind the podium using cue cards? Did you notice that he made eye contact all over the place? Did you notice that he moved and put the mic in both hands and used gestures? Did you notice he used humor?
Care if he graduates? He'll do well!
Some body needs to do a video of this guy verses the visors coming off guy at Georgia
I thought Harry Potter goes to Hogwart and not Georgia Tech.
This guys needs to get a gig getting paid for this...SERIOUSLY!!!
Fucking Badass. simple
I never sleep
