i totally get it, its difficult when you see all the sacrifices you made all the memories you could have had all to acheive something that feels good for 15seconds, thats rough but guess what you havent felt yet?? the future , your future that is now so much brighter because of those sacrifices you will feel that 15second feeling time and time again , trust me its worth it
The goal is to turn it from seconds to months

You’re missing the point: The point is WHAT will those sacrifices be? Will they just be as simple as not going out with friends? Will it be not having any friends at all? Or maybe spending less time with family? What if your mother died during the period you were sacrificing time with family for work the same day you achieve what you were working for? Would the sacrifice have been worth it? It’s about what you’re willing to sacrifice and if you understand that’s what you’re sacrificing as compared to just be willing to sacrifice in general.
@@Ghost_GAME-Xfrom seconds to years and legacy after death
Its not about the title its about the hard work you put in and showed oyur self as a true person who can work hard and wont stop back.
God bless this young man and his aspirations.
This is exactly how I felt, after giving my valedictorian speech. I felt so good for about 30 mins, and then I tbjkfunf to myself, “so is this if? , all my hard work for the last four years to give a speech and be done”. I honestly recommend people to enjoy their high school years, study but don’t forget to have fun, because it doesn’t get easier
My mom wrote her own song when she became valedictorian
@@XstaticG honestly props to your mom, that’s really creative!
The 16th second you realized you have to start from the bottom up again
how im feeling bouta graduate this Friday
@@CmcCharlesand I got picked for that speech..
@@atibadaniel4645 congrats
Facts
This is precisely what is wrong with society right now. Everything is about the instant gratification or the adrenaline / dopamine fix. No thought about the long term impact of actions.
This young man's adrenaline hit might have only last 15 seconds, but his achievement will open doors that will impact the rest of his life... and for as long as his school exists, he will be on record as valedictorian for his graduating class. #1. Numero uno. Big dog. His legacy.
Kids... when you consider your decisions throughout your life, don't just look at the short term or the quickest way to get your quick fix. Look at the long term impact of the action you are considering taking. Not just the impact on you, but your family, friends and those you care about.
thank you
You missed the point. The point is the journey equally, if not more of the prize than the destination.
ok but what about the sacrifices for that title. losing time with family, losing opportunity to make lifelong friends, etc, etc
You must not be Kennedy because the point of his speech went over your head
@@yesatitsfinest You nailed it son!!
This is one of my goals for 8 months, I saw the tassel and beautiful scrub coming with it. I chased for it
When I graduated high school there was 7 valedictorian kids, 8 or 9 for my brothers class. I was 35th in my year in the rankings and I watched as the top 10 kids stressed and cried for the special spot (which was hilarious to see that there was 7 in the end)
My brother was in the top 10 but did NOTHING special like the others. We actually weren’t accepted into honor role because we refused to go to meetings, buy our membership or pay the fines….we didn’t care.
We had fun, created memories and did whatever WE WANTED. HS was fun and exciting, thankfully our parents didn’t care about rankings.
Very Good
Speech!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉💫
Congratulations 🙏🙌❤️🎊
The fact that he also played jack in newsies for this company, and STILL does so good in school is amazing!🤩
I'm inspired ❤
How much joy he hold he's made me comfortable to 😊
Awesome
My dad got only 4.0's in high school, except ONE 3.99994 he got in freshman year. He still did not recieve the title of valedictorian.
My grade was VERY competitive. I ranked 30 with a 3.9 GPA. I had personal issues in freshman year that made me have an 87 average, my junior and senior years I averaged a 100 and 104. If we went by senior year, I would have ranked 4th. Looking back, I am sad things happened in freshman year, but it also opened me to recognizing the flawed system of the class rank. I was the fourth smartest kid in my class when I graduated 2 years ago.... yet I ranked 30.
Make one video
@@JNB0723class rank is not to find the smartest person, and it is incredibly egotistical to say that you are the fourth smartest person
@@FrogGuy-tt1wq I think a system of improvement would be a better system than a combined average. My GPA increase every year, and yet that's not even a factor. Meanwhile a person who averaged a 98 all four years would have still had the same as me, even though there's no improvement there. I'm not saying I was the fourth smartest kid, I was saying that I had the fourth highest grade
It will help you get accepted into a better school, scholarships, and help you find a good job. However, I get it. I graduated college with my associates degree as a single mom of 4. Yes it felt good to receive my college degree BUT I missed out on a lot. Every single time I was breastfeeding, I had my phone in my hand studying. 3 am up rocking a newborn with my phone in my hand studying. Etc. Now I am in school for my bachelors degree in psychology BUT I know that means I have to make sacrifices. However, I also know it means a better life for my kids. Pick your battles I suppose….
And I know a lot of people have gone through that only to be disappointed in life. They look back and say I did not live. I just stuck my nose and a book not everybody but a lot of people sacrifice, and they look back and realize what they missed out.
College degrees are useless anyways made so you can have 80k in debt on a 25k/yr job
All that extra hard work and stress aged him by 10 years. Sad.
High Highest High
Congratulations
The music is too damned loud. The speaker is in the background with the music in the foreground.
Yoooo jack kelly
He reminds me of Matt Damon
Wrong background music for this😂😂😂
Don’t know why I like it 😅
can you please share with me the title of the background music?
You just need to do your best and leave the rest to God
Truth
Welcome to adulthood young man. Wait until you get your paycheck each pay period 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I am commenting #BringBackDislikes on every unique RUclips video that I watch for the rest of 2024, regardless of if I actually dislike the video or not. This is video 3703.
W WWWWWW
:)
😂😂😂16 th second such liar
Right now you have the best future🎉 against all your classmates
I'm looking for a guide on how to make a valedictory speech because I was announced to be the valedictorian of our school. This is my first time being a valedictorian, even making a speech. I know to myself that I don't have the confidence to speak in front of many. I don't even know how I got to be the valedictorian. I don't even know if I deserve it. All I do know about myself is that I got high scores in exams or any written outputs, I don't know if that is enough to be a valedictorian. It's literally our graduation in 6 days. I hope I'm worth of this title.
GREAT JOB MAKING IT!!! Have a great summer, and good luck 🤞
U worthy frfr. Just give a speech that is inspiring and universally applicable to all students. It seems obvious, but don't talk about your own achievements. Listen to a lot of past speeches too. Good luck! And you do deserve it, you gotta Believe that.
Listen to what this dude just said. IT…DOESN’T…MATTER! You’ve done all
Of this “hard work” and you don’t even know what “hard work” even is yet 😂. It’s a joke. Good luck finding a job.
Dont worry, I have to make a speech too, what I did was just talk about how I was just a regular person, but what I did differently was work hard. You could probably write better than that but hopefully thus helps
How was it?
I hate the music. I want the speech.
All that for a faculty that has failed us.
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉...so many cordes
Don’t valedictorians get awarded full ride scholarships to any college they want?
No 💀💀
NO 💀😭
No
I WISH!!!!
What timeline are you from?
Imagine being salutatorian and the valedictorian was only happy about it for 15 seconds
The 16th second you realize the donuts done run out at KK
My gpa is like 99.4 sadly I was still beat 😔
99.4? what kind of gpa system are you guys using
@@terik_z out of 100? Thought that was pretty clear
@@deananderson7714 yeah, most GPA's are out of 4, thats why im confused by yours
Mine is 98
Ok
No young man. That 16th second was knowing you won at something hard to do that takes an incredible amount of work. Now you know you're capable. It wasn't the end. It was the 1st second of the rest of your life and now you have to win again..
❤❤❤❤
God bless him😊
Congratulations
Congratulations👏🎉
