What would you say in a graduation speech as a guest speaker?

The usual: Congrats on all the work you've done. It's a beginning, not an end. The beginning of all kinds of neat possibilities. It depends some on what kind of college and what kinds of things people study there. What degrees they get and what they will be doing with them. Like a pre-med speach for graduation would be different from a college where people are learning to become teachers. So you need to know a little about the college. Did the college or students have anything special that they did to help the community? Did they pioneer any special studies? Also depends on the person you're making the speech for. Did this person graduate from there? Did this person hire people from there? Why did they ask her to speak as opposed to someone else? You need to know more in order to have more to work with.

If i'm in your shoes, i will be equally shocked! haha =D BUt since it's a graduation ceremony, some basic congrats are required, along with after school life, transition into working life from school life. It need not be too long, but just sharing of experience and their success stories? That's what i think, and what i hope to hear whenever there's a guest speaker on stage.. haha There's no need for a long speech and if there's anything more, it's up to her to express it on her own, not u, secret ^^

The best subject could be your "boss" life. How she reached her position, how she struggle to reach her dream. How it is be a fresh graduate- looking for job. Tips on job hunting- what to expect and expect the unexpected. You can also relate through yourself...what did you go through after graduation and your experiences. Most speeches are all about motivation particularly with graduation. have a good day

The speech depends on what level are they. If I'll be a Guest Speaker, I will tell the graduates on what kind of career they should pursue. I'll tell them that in choosing a career is all about their passion. They should love what they're doing so that it would be easier for them to adjust on their jobs. I'll also tell them that what they learned in school is not enough. They have to face the real world and one of their Greatest teacher is life.

i will be graduating college next year, so i will be able to hear from a guest speaker then. and if im in a graduating class, i would really love to hear how your boss had made it this far after her graduation. i always hear the words like, its a jungle out there after when you leave the school. what is that jungle like? what will be our struggles, how do we overcome it? i would love to hear the tips and very encouraging words. i hope this helps. have a nice day!

speech about 1st. congrats 2nd. our preparation before facing the job field reality 3rd. giving some tips and tricks

My speech would be about nonconformity. I would say that one reason the young people in the audience were there and graduating was because they had learned to fit in and do what they were told to do. But now they are adults going out into the world with the potential to change it. I would ask them if they know the meaning of potential -- and tell them that a person who has it is a person who never did anything. I would tell them to go out and do things. I would tell them to take risks, stick up for underdogs, walk the untrodden path. But most of all I would say that their graduation is not an end but a beginning and to keep learning more every day for the rest of their lives, and to put their knowledge to use to make the world a better place. Then I would assure them that they CAN do it, and even if they do not achieve all they plan to, they are still sowing the seeds for others to pick up where they left off.

1. Congratulations 2. At-a-boy, job well done 3. Life begins now 4. Contribute, give back, pay it forward 5. Remain hopeful always 6. Happiness is usually followed by success 7. Go out and change the world Hope you are successful with your assigned tasked.

Oh i find that quite heavy. You need to say something that will inspire the graduates. Hmmm maybe you could tell them that "real" life is harder and they should just rather sit on their couches and watch tv hahaha kidding ok? well maybe you could tell them to first thank their parents for guiding them, for putting them in such good schools..that they may not live as adults that could make a difference in the world. That they are not in their "real" life and must face it with optimism and see to it that they won't be sucked in what people call the rat race. that somehow they will find themselves fulfilling what they need to do..and also make a difference and at the same time living a "life". it is hard but i hope you can do it.

Sounds like you've already gotten a lot of good advice. I agree it will help to know as much as you can about the school and the graduates' field of studies. MOst graduation speakers tend to speak in platitudes and generalities in their efforts to be inspiring, and most graduates are really just hoping it will be fairly short. I think most of the graduates will be as exited to listen to the speech as your boss seems to be about addressing them. It will be a challenge to keep them all awake. Most are probably thinking about the parties that will follow the ceremony more than what's going on. I'm afraid I didn't even attend my university graduation. There were thousands in my graduating class and they don't hand the diplomas out at the ceremony anyway. I could think of nothing more boring than rehearsals, a long march in, a long march out, and listening to all those names read. A lot of my class didn't go. Renting the cap and gown just added expenses. So my advice is to keep it short and sweet and they will love your boss.

As speaker on that day, i would rather say congratulations to all graduates .Wish them more lucks and happy day in their life...Go forward and hit ur ambition in life.Thats ur future...
