Ahhh…Commencement! What a wonderful time in a young person’s life! I remember my commencement speech as if it were just yesterday, granted it wasn’t delivered by anyone who would be considered famous but it still pulled at my heart string and those words have stayed with me to this day.
So what exactly makes for one of the best commencement speeches? Personally, I would say a speech needs to be emotional if it is to fall under the category of best commencement speeches.
Around this time of year, you see a lot of Best Commencement Speeches articles being written but instead of writing about these speeches I thought I’d set you up with a roundup of videos from my personal favorites of 2017. Enjoy!

As you can see all of these individuals had their own style of presenting to the audience. Some may have been more comedic than others but at the end, they all did a great job and got their point across while at the same time connecting with their audience.
