GRADUATION SPEECHES IN 50 WORDS OR LESS?

Graduation is an exciting time.

Whether you are the one getting the diploma, or you are supporting a loved one from the audience, graduation is a celebration of years of hard word and a future full of opportunities.

But, let’s be honest. Sitting through long graduation speeches can, at times, be excruciating.

What if there was a limit put on the length of those graduation speeches, though?

And what if that limit were only 50 words?!?
