"These should not be the best 12 years of your life. That is a pain that I do not wish upon any of my enemies. If CATS testing and portfolios are the best years of your life, then you have done something wrong." ~Best quote about school ever
Why the hell are people commenting asking rude questions like "What fast food restaurant does he work at now?" That kid was the Valedictorian and worked his ass off to get his moment on that stage. If there's any high school student you shouldn't say that to, It'd be him. Some of y'all are basing your judgement on his intelligence only on how he looks. He has obviously proven himself to be a very smart, hard-working young man. Who are you to take that away from him because you don't like his hair? Stupid
No but he is a validictorian at east freaking jessamine.... You don't live in Kentucky and I do and I know that east is on the bottom of the list for education....
Wow, finally a really great speech! I see so many that say "best graduation speech ever" and they are nice, but this one really lets a boy shine that would not only make his parents proud, but the classmates that actually know him, or don't know him, all want to be friends with this guy. He is grade A stock, never heard of him, will never meet him, but I already love him and would want him as a friend. Thumbs up, whoever you are. Your heart is big enough to take in a whole school. I hope you soar in life, and don't forget to love God that made you so damn cool 👍👍👍
Hahaha! I was just browsing speeches because I have to give one tonight. I didn't know I would someone end up watching Mr. Maloney's speech! I didn't know he spoke but job well done.
Bre Richardson Sorry to hear about your parents and congrats on the GPA, but the statement is still true. Aside from extenuating circumstances, high school as it is, is simply a matter of attending and 'getting through' it. You have to actively work at not succeeding, whereas everything else requires work to succeed.
What? You just hit your wake up call at university? I attend NYU for Biochemistry and to be honest. It's tough. But it definitely wasnt high school. So much drama in highschool. so much wanting to quit. Where here there is no point in giving up. all my classes are quite nicely scheduled and I can do my homework easier than high school. Seems like you had to do some growing up to realize your wake up call later. You're pretty ignorant though. To make a such a simple statement on a subject that dwarves and ultimately decides peoples lives. So many kids drop out of highschool and have to get a GED. yeah people drop college but college is something you decide. Highschool you truly have to do, otherwise your life if going to be even worse.
I was educated in Australia, and I live in Australia. now, what you study than rather when you went to school is totally irrelevant and different ball game. for me, school was fun and not so challenging, and i had good friends that i have left with, and ill be honest, I commented on this video with my opinion and nothing else, i wasn't being ignorant i was stating the truth. you on the other hand are the ignorant one, you must of found school challenging and a very anti social but nothing in this world comes free and nothing is thrown our way. you might learn that some day :). id love to play keyboard warriors with you, but you're not worth my time.
Dude. This is a speech typically given by the valedictorian. So, your joke makes no sense. Its really just random. You could make the McDonald's joke at any time, and target any person. To make it specifically here means very little, and doesn't hit the mark.
Are you just going around to graduation speeches commenting about them working at McDonalds because I swear this is the 3rd time i've scene you say the exact same thing. Were you a promising valid Victorian? Did you completely fail? Because I have a feeling you're just attacking these people out of self hatre.
lordtomosdecree Burn? Are we three? Sure my spelling is a sin and my grammar is actually a crime against humanity but I am very successful in life because I play on my strengths. I can take a computer apart and put it back together in about 5 minutes and do things with crime scene evidence that would make your head explode. But I suspect you are someone who never learned to play their strengths because you seem like a miserable person. Why do you feel it necessary to find videos of very smart, motivated people cheering on the future and comment that they are working at McDonalds? My guess is that you actually work at McDonalds but you were told your whole life that you were special. Did one of the people who you used to bully or someone you seen as below you come in and order some fries? Why so bitter?
White Shadow ...Dude that comment does not have a grammatical error in it. Get out of the internet if you don't even know whats wrong and whats right. Also check your spelling, i don't think "ur" is spelled that way.
Why are there so many jerks on the internet? If calling him lame then why are you browsing around for 'inspirational graduation speeches' and not just watching cat videos? I personally thought he was funny, and if it isn't you kind of entertainment then keep it to yourself.
Those wet dream jokes were pretty ballsy.
+metalmusician6798 He could have meant peed the bed. That's for the audience to decide and makes them acceptable.
You need balls to do that..... and that too
I was probably looking at the woman at the bottom corner more than him LOL
Danielle lee she was not impressed about the wet dream joke haha
+dustin sattarelle 😂😂😂 yeah
+Danielle lee me too
+Danielle lee "The student teacher relationship is no longer a problem" sure crossed her mind once or twice..
me too she looks so confused
People say school was the easiest part of your life. Bullshit.
Especially high school
Hahahah I bet you're 12
Implantedclub No im 6 and i cant play with blocks
Hahahahaha fair play to you sir
IDK Dj, It sure was for me.
I feel sorry for the guy/girl that has to come up after him, knowing their speech definitely isn't going to top that.
That teacher sitting on stage went through an emotional journey with this speech.
This guy has perfect delivery.
Natural. Not perfect. With work though....
His speech was so good that it caused a financial recession few weeks later.
Dabket3araB 😂😂
2:39 how her facial expression changes when she realises what he's saying LOL
Has anyone else paid attention to the girl on the bottom right?
haha yes
How in the world could you ignore her? :)
م
"No, not that dream, don't worry". HAHAHAHAAAA
"These should not be the best 12 years of your life. That is a pain that I do not wish upon any of my enemies. If CATS testing and portfolios are the best years of your life, then you have done something wrong." ~Best quote about school ever
In work you'll do even worse!

SibSixGaming so your basing your conclusion about the school's capabilities in judging their student?? SHAME!
he would make a great actor at a comedy sitcom
Well, he's an actor. It's Diego Boneta. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diego_Boneta
addicTix Lol what? That kid is from Jessamine County, Kentucky. It's most likely his name is not Diego.
Zach Wolfe That's definitely him bro
Hamato Yoshi diego boneta, he's an actor now :)
@@addicTix bro what ur telling me he released an album in portuguese his sophomore year? ok
"If CATS testing and portfolios are the best things about your lives, your lives are miserable." Truer words have never been spoken. :p
They're the best thing of my life and I am proud of it
?how the fuck did i end up here
Kanan Jackson I'm asking myself the same thing

This man managed to fit every joke I've ever heard in any graduation speech into one, and then some.
What a fucking legend
Wow, finally a really great speech!

Thanks John for such a memorable graduation! Class of '08!
This guy speaks from the heart. Probably one of the reasons this is such a good speech.
not sure why I watched this to the end.
'' don't cry because its over , smile because it happened '' true :'')
I wish I could go back then in time and relive all these years again having my present conciousness
this guy would make a great toastmaster at any public or corporate event!
I was in the 2nd grade at that point in time, transitioning to the 3rd. Damn, time flies!
That was a great speech...humorous, but serious at the same time. Great job!!
That was a great speech, young Sir. Good Luck In all you accomplish in your lifetime.
Did "Kick Ass" finally graduate high school?
Lol
For the record, I am going to college, sorry if you lost that bet. LMAO
Hahaha! I was just browsing speeches because I have to give one tonight. I didn't know I would someone end up watching Mr. Maloney's speech! I didn't know he spoke but job well done.

Well thanks sidewalks for keeping me off the streets
The woman in the background, when he said he won't have to change is sheets, face is priceless!
That was absolutely amazing. I wish our graduation speech in my high school graduation was half this good.
This kid is awesome, honest, funny and true.
He sounds and looks like Josh from drake and josh
Wow it was amazing, this guy has a gift, I wish I could make such a speech, I have mine next week and I haven't even written it...

Wasn't that hard, wait until you hit University. :) biggest wake up call.

It must be hard for this guy to put on a hair net when working at mcDonalds
Dude. This is a speech typically given by the valedictorian. So, your joke makes no sense. Its really just random. You could make the McDonald's joke at any time, and target any person. To make it specifically here means very little, and doesn't hit the mark.
SiderFace I felt i needed to express my opinion about hair net and him working at mcdonalds :)

Were you a promising valid Victorian? Did you completely fail? Because I have a feeling you're just attacking these people out of self hatre.
Timex Lordx I passed English, because you know, I can use the word "seen" not "scene" BURN

Awesome speech, very entertaining! 👏

So glad to be from this school.
The most truest speech ever
The most of the bad worstest grammar..... Thats what ur comment looked like to me
White Shadow ...Dude that comment does not have a grammatical error in it. Get out of the internet if you don't even know whats wrong and whats right. Also check your spelling, i don't think "ur" is spelled that way.
This guy is already a millionaire, doing stand-up comedy and a storyteller.
aww he is great. I remember that it was great. I miss highschool.
this was literally like the best speech ever what
His name is Diego Boneta , he is now an actor/singer
No he isnt Diego. Diego Boneta is from Mexico, went to school there and won a Tv show for child actors, then made a kids oriented telenovela.

6:07 that woman was like ... true story :(
I have to speak at my graduation this Friday and I'm so tempted to steal this. HAHAHA
10 YEARS
Where is this guy now?
I wonder if he developed a career in self deprecating comedy. His timing is brilliant.
This is brilliant! He's a natural speaker :')
Standing ovation!
What made it even funnier is that he was the quiet kid all 4 years of high school that hardly spoke with anyone.
No he wasn’t
is this a theater play or something. I can tell he rehearsed.
This is awesome!
I loved it
the lady in the bottom right tho
Okay it got funny
I gotta hand it to this kid: hilarious yet meaningful top notch speech
great speech, it was very well thought out.kudos.
I'm probably graduating in 2020
Probably?
Ew freshman
stfu u were a freshman before
Yeah you were once a freshman so shut up.
Ew a senior. Sick.
Cowboy Bebop

That was the best graduation speech i heard yet..
Why are there so many jerks on the internet? If calling him lame then why are you browsing around for 'inspirational graduation speeches' and not just watching cat videos? I personally thought he was funny, and if it isn't you kind of entertainment then keep it to yourself.
Umm....Did anyone else click on this thinking it was Darren Criss?
No.
Yes.
Who's Darren Criss?
Almondstash He's an actor :) When he was in college he had hair incredibly similar to this mans, so in a thumbnail, it's easy to mistake the two :)
WOW thats amazing and u were so confident
Awesome. Best speech ever.
