I was never a valedictorian

My graduating class had 400+ graduates. I was DEFINITELY NOT the valedictorian. Actually, I don't remember who was?

This week will be the graduation for the Family Institute Advanced Training program I finished two years ago. After my consistent nudging, they finally organized a mini ceremony to give out our hard earned certificates.

The certificate is in Couples and Family Therapy.

I recieved a call last week from the Head Supervisor of the clinic asking if I would be the speaker at the graduation. "You'll be like the valedictorian," she said.

Wow! I was never a valdictorian before. This is cool, I can do this - a class of maybe a dozen people, not a bad percentage for me!

Anyhow, now I gotta write a speech...

Any ideas of how to start?

Wish me luck.
