00:00 Our next young speaker needs no introduction, but that didn't stop him from writing one
00:05 and making me read it.
00:10 Fun fact.
00:11 I hear you.
00:14 The word valedictorian is from the Latin validus ere, meaning to say farewell.
00:21 It is primarily used in the United States, Canada, the Philippines, and Armenia.
00:26 Maybe that fact's more fun in Armenia.
00:29 Please welcome your valedictorian, Sheldon Cooper.
00:36 Hello.
00:39 I'm not very comfortable speaking in front of crowds, but there's a technique to reduce
00:48 stage fright by focusing on one person in the audience and delivering your speech just
00:53 to them.
00:56 That's what I'll be doing today.
01:01 If it weren't for this person, I wouldn't be here right now.
01:04 They've taught me a lot, and it's by their example that I found the courage to move forward
01:09 into this new and exciting chapter of my life.
01:14 Missy, this is for you.
01:22 Change can be scary, but I know we're going to be fine.
01:29 Because like you said, it's okay to be scared.
01:33 We just have to do it anyway.
01:38 So if any of my fellow graduates are nervous about the future, know that you're not alone.
01:45 I suggest you all try to be as brave as my twin sister.
01:49 That's my plan.
01:50 Missy, I wish I could give you advice about middle school, but I was so smart I skipped
01:56 it.
01:57 If you make it to high school, we'll talk.
02:00 Thank you.
02:01 [APPLAUSE]
