[@ishaan_chatterjee]

I’m so overwhelmed by all of the kind words and support for this video. So thankful for those who were able to empathize or relate to the story shared in this speech, I wish you all nothing but the best. I don’t really upload much to KZbin but if you’re interested in keeping up or connecting, feel free to find me through my socials. I could use some public speaking endorsements on my LinkedIn :) Instagram: @ishaan_chatterjee Facebook: @ishaan_chatterjee TikTok: @ishaan_chatterjee LinkedIn: Ishaan Chatterjee But seriously, thank you all, these past few years have been tough and we are still facing challenges today, but it’s always amazing to see people supporting other people, and lifting each other up.

Great speech! Destined for great things

[@northernreflections4653]

That was my first reaction…similar cadence.

[@geraldinengia4247]

Ishaan remember me when you become President.

[@MrJikman]

Curious, were you coached or self taught? You were a splitting image of President Obama. Well done.

[@milcabanos]

Listening to you reminds me of Pres. Obama. 😊 You will go a long way. May the Lord bless & keep you.

[@justk80]

The ability to speak in front of an audience with such confidence and grace shows how well deserving you are of that position. Not to mention how hard you worked to get there. Excellent job!! Congratulations. You sir have a bright future ahead of you. I'm betting your family is quite proud of you. We are!! 🙌💛

[@barbarahayes4696]

And his parents did a good job. Strength, love, confidence and humor is more than likely brought forth in his home.

[@jane_7193]

Mr. O should not be mentioned here, it was all just talk, not walking the talk. This young man who ever, what ever he is as a person, we wish him, and equally, all his fellow graduates a wonderful journey to life! Do good to yourselves and all human beings you come accross! That' s the ultimate goal worth achieving.

[@jane_7193]

Yes, towards the end of the talk, I sense what this young man is bringing in to the society: a man of INTEGRITY. Encouraging everyone towards integrity, the most valuable posession any human being can posess.

[@laudnunoo1915]

Bruh!! I am so triggered. What a pathetic audience

[@yaadi876]

talented orator sounds like he's been giving speeches for decades like a young Obama and Denzel type a guy. I see him as the CEO of whatever he will do. His voice will sell anything such a confident young man ain't nothing to limit this man's success

[@mr.x4517]

Yup, he' s been giving similar speeches right from the high school days. Bedford high school students can relate😁

Or a Dinesh D'Souza kind of guy, (also an Indian success story)

As a frequent presenter myself - I have to say that you are an OUTSTANDING speaker. Excellent speed, inflection, eye contact, engagement with the audience. Clearly a gifted public speaker. Bravo! (And congratulations!!)

[@othersbyuri]

Natural right! Monetize starting already. 👏🏽 congrats

[@lavenuecc2114]

Omg his confidence and charisma to hold the audience is very reminiscent of Obama. It gave me chills. He should run for office one day.

[@demetrianicole1657]

His voice, cadence, and humor remind me of Obama as well. It’s like if Obama had a son…

[@dhairyapatel4326]

Amazing speech man! The hand gestures, voice modulation, self- reflections and more than that the ability to relate to the audience at large renders the perfect combination of a highly eloquent and effective speech. As an Indian immigrant, it's a proud moment to see a fellow buddy addressing the stage. Your speech reminds me of Obama in many ways !

[@juliejones7358]

My sons graduation ceremony for his PhD was on Monday of this week at Durham University in the U.K. It’s been hard work, I’m sure you’ll agree, but when you’ve got the drive and determination to succeed you always will. My father always said to me, ‘you only get out of life what you put into it’ and that’s so true. I don’t know how many years you attend university in the US, but my son did a 3 year undergraduate degree, a 1 year masters degree and a 3 years PhD degree, then he spent another year at another university doing his PGCE degree for 1 year, that enabled him to teach higher level students himself ie ages 16+. It’s been a long 8 years in university, but a great achievement not just for yourself, but for your parents too. I am 100% certain they would have been ever so proud of you on that day, as were we with our son. He actually finished and passed his PhD in 2020, but covid postponed all graduation ceremonies for several years, as you said we’ve had a decades worth of tragedy in 2 years. But, after seeing your graduation and lovely speech, I just wanted to say congratulations to you too, on passing your degree Ishaan. Well done!! 👍🏻👏👏

[@ishaan_chatterjee]

Congratulations to your son and thank you for sharing! Appreciate all the support!

[@buffster948]

Wow, congratulations to your son! You must be very proud of him. One of my best friends went to Durham and she absolutely adored it there. It's a brilliant university.

[@sekinaansari]

And he didn’t read from a script. You are an awesome Orgon/Chemist. Congratulations! You made every Indian immigrant + any immigrant came to this country proud. With out an immigrant this country will not survive. Totally true bec they work hard and with education, they go to places. They are the ones buy nice cars, houses and start their own business to contribute US economy.

Asking GOD’S continued blessing for this young man and his great speech!!

[@glittery8862]

This speech handled the, plainly said, suffering a lot of us students went through during the pandemic so nicely and with so much humor. The grief for those times definitely shines through but in a sympathetic way. I lost all of my motivation and passion learning from home and am just slowly building it back up, we gotta talk about it. Congrats on graduating!

[@coreyliu12]

Great speech! You remind me of Obama's way of speaking. You're on your way to a great life!

[@sarahkubagenda9864]

[@wandahoward9636]

One thing I acknowledged but have not grasped yet is that giving a speech or speaking to an audience is like any other conversation. (This is what my Public Speaking professor tried to convince us of anyway). He has grasped this concept. His speaking to the audience as if he is having a conversation with his best friends-with that much comfort and ease).💖💖💖💖💖💖

I hated group presentation in University and after school went to a course to learn how to give presentation. I loved every minute of my university. I worked within my campus for the university bookshop, yes, smart me 🤪 got discount on my books. I met a lot of students, I am still friends with the store manager and co-workers. My married classmate made me go to his house on Sundays to study. My only regret is leaving the free German class - the school offered additional free language classes for students. I did one semester but didn't go for the exam after I struggled doing my coursework.I fell ill towards the end of my second year and missed 6 weeks of classes so had to redo an extra term. Many years later glad to graduate. My mum was at my graduation. Today I work in one of the best places that I have been in as a Payment Analyst. I hope to complete my professional exams to become a Chartered Accountant. Nothing can prepare you for the struggles of exams in University. Once you graduate, you feel like you can conquer anything else.
