FAQ:
1. Did you literally title your own speech the "Best HS Graduation Speech Ever"?
Yes.
2. Can only valedictorians give speeches?
No. Usually that is the case, however this particular school always has try-outs after which speakers are selected by judges. Valedictorians are generally given preference, but the speaker here is not a valedictorian (:
3. What's his Twitter?
@AeliosArt, but nobody does Twitter anymore. Try Instagram (@AeliosArt or @ChaseDahlaBillz).
4. Did you really use popular and controversial issues and topics of the time to form hyperbolic jokes about graduating?
Yes, it was done just like that.
5. Is this really the "best HS graduation speech ever"?
Yes, probably.
6. He's full of himself, right?
Oh yes, of course.
7. Is he gay?
I am straighter than the line of the graph f(x) = x. Thanks for asking, though.
8. Was the title at least in part a social experiment?
Yes it was.
9. Was the title at least in part a joke for the originally intended audience of the speaker's friends, family, etc., and not actually a shameful attempt to become famous by using a click-bait title?
Yup, good job. Wow.
10. What have you done since graduation?
Shortly after this, I left on a volunteer religious mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (you'd probably know them as the Mormons. ...Yup, those guys!) I was assigned for 2 years to Japan. I returned home in Summer 2017. I've attended school for International Business and returned to Japan in Jan. 2020 for study abroad. I am also an artist (see my work @AeliosArt) doing painting, digital artwork, graphic design, etc. That's pretty much it.
