Valedictorian rips up original graduation speech, talks about religion instead

Roy Costner IV started his high school graduation speech in an unconventional manner: He ripped his previously approved speech in half for the audience to see and instead spoke from a different manuscript that included religious matters.

“Those that we look up to, they have helped carve and mold us into the young adults that we are today,” Costner said. “I’m so thankful that both of my parents led me to the Lord at a young age.”
