<p>I'm going to be trying out for the privilege of giving the commencement speech at my high school this year and was wondering if you all would be willing to share some of your wisdom in terms of things I might talk about. I used the search tool on CC and found this thread: <a href="http://www.collegeconfidential.com/cgi-bin/discus/show.cgi?99/69313%5B/url%5D">http://www.collegeconfidential.com/cgi-bin/discus/show.cgi?99/69313</a> which was very helpful in terms of knowing what's cliche and what's not, but I think it'd be fun to bounce ideas off of each other and what not since there have to be some people giving speeches on this board. </p>
<p>So...go? What are you talking about? What would you like to hear? What, to you, is getting really cliche and boring?</p>
