[header] How to write a graduation thank you speech [title] Make a list of everyone you want to thank. [step] This is a great first step to take so you don't forget someone important. If you will be talking to a large audience, feel free to be vague about who you are addressing. 
For example, say " i want to thank all my teachers " rather than listing their names, and say " i want to thank my friends " rather than naming everyone. This is quicker and less likely to make some feel left out.
