I went on the Internet to download a suitable graduation speech for our ceremony today. But, as is usual for the Internet, all the information I found was useless, and all the speeches I did find were lame.
Engineering students are a lot like peanuts.
In a certain selection of peanuts there are all different shapes and sizes. Certainly each one is unique and has its own qualities. Unfortunately, Sometimes along the way, the reject peanuts get diverted to less demanding fields, such as candy bars or peanut butter. Many of our fallen peanut friends could not be here today these are the burnt ones, the ones that could not stand up to the constant roasting which engineering provides. Look around this room, and you will see the people that have made it you should be proud, because you re the cream of the crop.
