So much brilliance...

A high school valedictorian speech that should be heard by every educator, and interested parent, etc.

Scroll to the bottom to hear it if reading it isn't your thing.

Excellent, articulated, and highly motivating. That Is a great speech. Everyone here on BOTL should take a few minutes and read this.

I agree Torin.

Pardon me while I scoff.

Back in the 60's it was Timothy Leary with "Tune in, turn on, drop out".

This phrase urged people to embrace cultural changes through the use of psychedelics and by detaching themselves from the existing conventions and hierarchies in society.

Sound familiar??

...create your own perspective. Demand a setting that will provide you with intellectual capabilities that allow you to expand your mind instead of directing it. Demand that you be interested in class. Demand that the excuse, "You have to learn this for the test" is not good enough for you

Be your own judge.

Well done, especially considering most high school students couldn't articulate what they ate for lunch that day :laugh:.
