   A senior speech usually occurs at graduation. The valedictorian, the member of the graduating class with the highest grade point average (GPA), will generally give a speech at the graduating ceremony, along with the salutatorian and some volunteers. The salutatorian has the second-highest GPA in the graduating class. Senior speeches may also be a part of senior recognition or other end-of-year ceremonies for organizations or extracurricular activities like band and honor societies. The senior speech epitomizes the moment of graduating from high school and starting adult life, and usually has an inspirational and/or nostalgic tone. Pick a theme and outline your main points. You want the speech to be easy to understand for the audience. Outlining the key ideas, such as perseverance or celebration, in advance will make the writing process much easier. Make a draft of the speech. Spend most of your time on making the point, not focusing on grammar or diverting into topic areas outside of the theme. Speech writing is different than writing a regular essay. You want the speech to sound natural. For example, instead of writing, "Our last year of school has finally been reached," you might just want to say, "So, we finally made it." The most important part is that your individual voice and ideas shine through. This is your moment.
