I just love listening to Valedictorian speeches. Such a great way to say "farewell" to your classmates
Cannot relate. I always found the speeches kinda boring and try hard. Maybe I was just jealous though.
I get it. In Australia the Valedictorian was based from contribution from the class rather than academic success. I like that. 
oh really? I didn't know that at all. What else can you tell me about Valedvictorian?
A few countries honor high graduates but don't use the title Valedictorian. That would be New zealand, south africa, ireland and india
Wow, isn't that interesting. I always figured it was just the same everywhere.
The term is a form of the Latin word "vale dicere" Which means to say farewell
Ah ok, now i understand the term! Thats kinda funny as well once i think about it!Though it did always sound kinda foreign.
Did you have more then one valedictorian in your graduating class? I know some around here do
Oh I had about two in my class if I remember correctly. What about you?
