because I'm (most likely) going to be Valedictorian of my class. Which is absolutely ridiculous, because I can't even spell Valedictorian without the help of spellcheck. Or absolutely. Or ridiculous. Maybe I just can't type today... But seriously, I don't like all the previous Valedictorian speeches I've heard... they're all "oh, I'm so sorry to be going ILU all I'm gonna cry now." Boor-ing! Lol. So, I'm going to tell a story - mom wants me to use this one, or at least something along these lines: "A little boy was overheard talking to himself as he strutted through the backyard, wearing his baseball cap and toting a ball and bat. “I’m the greatest hitter in the world,” he announced. Then he tossed the ball into the air, swung at it, and missed. “Strike One!” he yelled. Undaunted, he picked up the ball and said again, “I’m the greatest hitter in the world!” He tossed the ball into the air. When it came down, he swung again and missed. “Strike Two!” he cried. The boy then paused a moment to examine his bat and ball carefully. He spit on his hands and rubbed them together. He straightened his cap and said once more, “I’m the greatest hitter in the world!” Again he tossed the ball up in the air and swung at it. He missed. “Strike Three! WOW!” he exclaimed. “I’m the greatest pitcher in the world!" I'd certainly modify it, to make it a little more interesting. Unless, you can come up with something more awesome? Yay? <3
Yeah, me and mom heard it at my cousin's graduation from college. I'm not a huge fan of it though.... I want something else!
Yeah, I just cut and pasted it off of some website... because I didn't hardly remember it. When I read it, it was waaay more entertaining.
