I know this may sound cliché, but when asked to reflect back on a "good" speech I have heard or read I immediately think of the Valedictorian's of my senior class' speech at graduation. I really enjoyed this speech. This may be because I really like him as a person, but I really think it was fitting for our senior class. Our valedictorian was not boastful, nor did he put himself on a level above others in the school. He very well could have doubled as the class clown. He used the speech to recognize, friends, teachers, and of course his family, but made sure to include memories that everyone in that graduating class could relate to. To me, relatability is everything.
I'm happy and jealous that your valedictorian did so well. I nodded off during our graduation speeches... And I was very disappointed with the extra speech which i had competed for. The girl who won, instead of me, was incredibly hard to follow and made too many personal jokes.
