Keynote

I was asked to be the Keynote Speaker at a scholarship event for my University.  I'm being asked to speak on my experiences as a student and what I'm doing now.  But where do I begin?  My college years were the most formative years of my entire life thus far.  I came not expecting to leave believing what I do now.  I trusted Christ with my life at St. Ed's, I gained the most amazing friends in the entire world at St. Ed's, I know who I am, that I have purpose and destiny because of the relationships formed at St. Ed's.  Additionally, my leadership skills were honed and my gifts for service exercised.

How do I make my speech not sound cliche?  How do I sound real?  How do I express the importance of knowing your identity?  I guess this is about the time I ask Jesus for help.  I will definitely need his creativity, wisdom and words for this one...
