LPN Graduation Speech


I will be graduating as an LPN on October 9, 2009 and was asked to speak at the ceremony. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can talk about? I am not a great public speaker and I don't want to bore everyone to tears, so any ideas would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

Hey, I just graduated in August..We had 2 speakers at our pinning ceremony (my college has 2 campus-so 1 from each) One of the speakers had an awsome speech...She reflected on how helpful/encouraging the instructors were-Classmates support ,endless study groups, how "we" have made lifelong relationships with our peers...She was AWESOME (and she wasn't from my campus). I will try to watch the video and then post more of what she covered..It was a moving speech.

go online and search for graduation topics. I did recently and literally found boatloads of stuff - lots of it pretty good.

but the main thing, in order to not sound disingenuous, it's gotta come from your heart.

be sure to mention that this is a passage in life, the beginning of something new and bigger than yourselves. and thank those who have been a support in the journey - parents, spouses, friends, classmates, etc. and don't forget your instructors!

It is an honor to be asked to speak...I am so happy for you. Think positive, also, because there must be something in your character that made them ask and for them to have the confidence that you can pull it off. As discussed above, mention the transition, the support of family, friends, instructors, even how the students may have supported each other. The challenges that were met that were successfully achieved and so forth! We are all routing for you, here! You can do it!
