Ready? Go. Thank you! Well done!<\/p>\n<p>Research. As you know, research counts for a lot on our campus, so let\u2019s dive right into the very scientific research I conducted\u2026\u2026\u2026.on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>My research sought to answer 2 questions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\u00a0What makes a commencement speech memorable?<\/li>\n<li>What makes a commencement speech meaningful?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>From the research, I will highlight 2 interesting statistics, 2 favorite UT graduation memories and 2 pieces of advice I uncovered: 1.<\/p>\n<p>Statistic #1: Out of respondents, 70% polled had zero recollection of any part of the speech [reasons not disclosed]. So, this is my purpose statement. To try, to give my best effort, so that maybe you or someone else in your family, other than your mother, will remember just one thing about today\u2019s speech.<\/p>\n<p>Statistic #2: Out of respondents, 100% said humor was the greatest factor in making a speech memorable. So, this will be my methodology.<\/p>\n<p>Memory #1: \u201cI threw up when I crossed the stage \u2013 and didn\u2019t even receive anything \u2013 no one would shake my hand or give me my diploma.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Memory #2: I graduated in May 2013 and the only thing I could tell you is that the speaker started the speech by saying it would be short\u2026\u2026\u2026and then it was not. I\u2019m pretty sure she finished the speech sometime in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Advice #1: Keep the speech under 18 minutes \u2013 now that you know \u2013 you can start the timer.<\/p>\n<p>Advice #2: Tell a story that is personal, inspiring, and relevant to the next steps in our lives.<\/p>\n<p>So, based on the findings of my research, I\u2019d like to tell you a personal story that I hope inspires you to be relevant in a world that needs courageous humans to find innovative solutions to the challenges our country and our world faces\u2026.all within the next 12 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>I grew up in Bald Knob, Kentucky \u2013 way out in the country \u2013 the nearest gas station, corner grocery, any part of civilization was 45 minutes away. We were a moderately poor family but that didn\u2019t stop my parents from working hard to provide me opportunities to pursue my love of sports \u2013 basketball, football, baseball. I\u2019ll never forget my mom taking me to the elementary school gym to meet my PE teacher at 6:30 every morning so I could practice free throws for an upcoming Elks Hoop Shoot Contest. I practiced every day for months \u2013 I was 8 years old and couldn\u2019t get the ball up to the rim, so my PE teacher taught me the \u201cgranny shot.\u201d I was ready \u2013 the national competition came to town, to the big capital city of Frankfort, Kentucky. Not unlike most nights, I slept in my gym shorts, ringer T, and tube socks. My K-Mart brand Zips high-tops right next to my bed so I could put them on as soon as I woke up.<\/p>\n<p>I never knew who might be out in my drive-way ready to play one-on-one \u2013 Michael Jordan? John Stockton? Larry Bird? Magic Johnson? Or, it could be that Lady Vols Coach Pat Summitt was hiding in the woods like she did sometimes near my house \u2013 wearing orange of course \u2013 scouting me \u2013 seeing if I was Lady Vol quality and if I was willing to work harder than all the other 8 year olds. You can\u2019t imagine how devastated I was year\u2019s later when my parents told me that Coach Summitt was not in our woods recruiting me \u2013 but that it was hunters during deer season. Dreams shattered.<\/p>\n<p>Back to the story: My mom woke me up early that Saturday morning so I could eat a healthy breakfast of fried eggs and bacon and so we could leave early enough to drive into town and find the civic center gymnasium. I was so excited \u2013 you know, that nervous kind of excitement \u2013 like you want to throw up but in a good way. I felt like my moment was finally here \u2013 all the hard work, dedication, sacrifice, commitment \u2013 that an 8-year old can make \u2013 it was time \u2013 time to compete. Something I had never done before, actually. I had only practiced granny-shots with my PE teacher and played basketball at home with my dad.<\/p>\n<p>We parked and I walked into the gym with my basketball under my arm and a brand-new Kentucky blue polyester warm up suit that my parents bought for this special occasion. There were kids everywhere \u2013 basketballs bouncing, the sound of sneakers on the hard wood, laughter, parents and grandparents in the stands. And I froze. For a moment, I froze. I noticed that no one looked like me, no one shot the ball like me, and no one dressed like me. And for the first time I can remember \u2013 I was scared, I was embarrassed and I was afraid to fail. At that moment, I took off running across the gym and headed straight for the girls\u2019 bathroom \u2013 where I locked myself in a stall, slid down the door, put my hands over my face, and cried uncontrollably.<\/p>\n<p>I heard my mom\u2019s voice first. She said, \u201cSarah, honey, what\u2019s wrong?\u201d I said, \u201cNothing.\u201d [crying] She said, \u201cCan you please come out of the stall so we can talk about it.\u201d I said, \u201cNo.\u201d [crying] She said, \u201cBut if you don\u2019t, you\u2019ll miss the free-throw competition that you\u2019ve been practicing for.\u201d I said, \u201cNo.\u201d [crying] I didn\u2019t hear anything for a while.<\/p>\n<p>And then. I heard my dad\u2019s voice, right outside my stall\u2026.in the girls\u2019 bathroom. He said, \u201cSarah, honey, what\u2019s wrong?\u201d I said, \u201cNothing.\u201d [crying] He said, \u201cIf you don\u2019t come out of the bathroom, you won\u2019t get to play.\u201d I said, \u201cI don\u2019t want to play today.\u201d [crying] He said, \u201cWhy not?\u201d And that was the moment of truth \u2013 I had to say what I was feeling out loud and it wasn\u2019t easy\u2026.. I said, \u201cBecause I am embarrassed and scared and I\u2019m going to lose.\u201d Then my dad asked me a question I will never forget. \u201cSarah, do you love playing basketball?\u201d \u201cDid God give you the ability and opportunity to play?\u201d \u201cYes sir.\u201d \u201cAnd do you think you\u2019ll ever want to play basketball again after today?\u201d \u201cYes sir.\u201d \u201cThen here are the only 2 options you have: You can come out of the bathroom and try your best or You can never play basketball again.\u201d What? These are the ONLY two options I have? I despised the thought of both of them. Then he said, \u201cYou have 30 seconds to decide. \u201cAll you have to do is try your best and that\u2019s all we expect of you. We will love you exactly the same \u2013 no matter if you win or lose. In life, it\u2019s not about who shoots the best free throws, it\u2019s about: \u2022 Facing your fears \u2022 Not comparing yourself to others \u2022 And finding the courage to try your best.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I came out of the girls\u2019 bathroom and competed that day. I made 23 out of 25 free throws \u2013 shooting granny style and won my age division. It was the start of a journey that I never imagined. Because of my parents and the opportunities basketball afforded me \u2013 I have traveled the world teaching sports \u2013 14 projects in China, 10 in Israel, Turkey, Tunisia, Egypt, Zimbabwe, Palestine, Saudi Arabia \u2013 in 2001 I had the opportunity to introduce softball to women in Iran and and even though I never played basketball for the Lady Vols and Coach Summitt, I did have the privilege of working closely with her to develop girls\u2019 basketball in Iraq \u2013 thanks to coach Summitt, there are 100\u2019s of orange basketballs from the north to the south of the country and thousands of girls playing basketball now.<\/p>\n<p>I appreciate my parent\u2019s love and the lessons they taught me that day when they asked me to come out of the girls\u2019 bathroom and compete:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Face your fears<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t compare yourself to others<\/li>\n<li>Have the courage to always give your best effort<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In closing, I\u2019d love to leave with you 8 words I hope you never forget (8 to honor the number of championships Pat Summitt won throughout her career) and these words are: \u201c<strong>Please, never lock yourself in a bathroom stall<\/strong>\u201d I\u2019ll say them again, \u201c<strong>Please, never lock yourself in a bathroom stall<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations again and thank you!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday, May 12th, 550 College of Education, Health, and Human Science (CEHHS) students\u00a0walked across the stage at Thompson Boling [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":115,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[127],"tags":[169,217,218,216],"class_list":["post-564","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reflections-commentary","tag-cehhs","tag-college-graduate","tag-commencement","tag-graduation"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
