I assume from your question that you are receiving the
"Most Outstanding Student of the Year" award and must give a short acceptance speech.
To be perfectly honest, no "example" could provide you with the best ideas. My best
advice is that you speak from your heart, keep it short, and make it
personal.
Often, award acceptance speeches are times when
the recipient has a moment to reflect on the achievement and thank the people who made
it possible. Here are a few ideas of things that would be perfectly
appropriate to say (in addition to "thank
you"):
- How you did you feel when you heard you
won, or how do you feel at the moment you are receiving the
award? - What person or people were the most influential
this year? Who could you personally thank for helping your journey to receiving the
award? *If the list is long, pick one or two and tell briefly something specific they
did for you. - What have you learned this
year? - What are you most grateful
for?
If you brainstormed answers to any or all
of the above questions, you would have more than enough material for a speech. The best
speeches are those that are long enough to be genuine, but short enough to make an
impact. I would encourage you to aim for about a 3 minute
speech.
I hope this helps.
