All three speeches are now in, and I will post them later tonight.
Reading them all, I am SO SO SO proud of all three of you. Seeing what you all wrote about why Charm School changed you for the better makes me feel so happy, and remind myself that this isn't just a "for fun" game but actually something that can contribute to making ATRL a more positive place which is something near and dear to my heart. All three of you understand this so well and I am so incredibly proud of all your work. No matter who wins, I know you are all members who will represent Charm School in a positive light and truly make ATRL a better place to be. A big thank you to you each of you for your growth and taking this competition seriously.
Charm Schoolers were asked to prepare a speech for their Charm School graduation that would touch on their growth and why they should be named top of the class.

┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ GRADUATION.
┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ This is it.
As we rapidly reach the end of our Charm School journey, I am asked to prepare my final Graduation speech. As I look back to the person I was on ATRL before I copied that roster and added my name into a new post, I see a different person. I recently joined ATRL and I was really considered a "nobody." Charm School helped me venture out and become a different and ultimately better ME. That's why the "U" is a different color at the top. Because how people look at you on ATRL is simply all about how you portray yourself. If you run around being a MESS and you are banned every 2 months, how do you think people are going to look at you? But you also need to have a little edge so that you are not completely looked over. That is the balance you have to find in yourself on ATRL. So that is already one huge thing Charm School has taught me, and that is to be ME.
If we are being completely honest, I cannot pick ONE class/lesson and call it my favorite. That is because I was able to learn and grow from each class, and it helped mold me. From the Ancient History challenge where we looked back and apologized for a mistake, to the English class where we learned the difference between a high and low quality post, all the way up to the Debate challenge where we sharpened up on our Dragging skills (important on ATRL) I was able to learn something from each and EVERY lesson. Being Classy SHOULD be a huge part of ATRL because we are all here for a reason, to discuss music and things pertaining to it. So being rude and disrespectful is not going to help get any point across. If there even WAS a point, being rude is going to get it over-looked. With that said, I feel as if EVERY member should join, or even just look through a season of Charm School and I promise you will be able to take SOMETHING from it.
When it comes to why I THINK I should win, I'll just say, I feel as if I have grown the most. I'm not going to name any specific names, but one just seemed to kind of skate by, and the other still receives negative reviews which shows no growth in my opinion. I feel as if I took the comments from one lesson and applied them to the next to try to better my entries. I would actually sit down, read and RE-read the judges commentary and make sure I understood what I did good, what I did wrong, and how to improve on what I did wrong.
In closing, I would like to thank boyonce and ammer for hosting another great season of Charm School and I would like to just say Thank You for sharing the wealth of knowledge they have gained since becoming ATRL members. I would also like to thank all of the visiting deans/professors for sharing their input on our entries. And I would also like to thank the other contestants. Without us and all of our hard work, there would have been nothing to judge, and I feel as if I learned and took something from each and every one of you.
THANK YOU.

It's funny how this is the last thing we are going to do, somehow Charm School is kind of like a school where you meet stragers that will end up being your friends (or people you can have nice conversations). When I joined ATRL, I was like most of the new members that think being a rude person or using words like "sis, tea, drag, shade" was going to take me somewhere in this community but the moment I saw the Charm School thread, I knew that it was going to help me to become a better member and standing out for who I am rather than being a carbon copy of other members and even though I still have a long way to go, the things I learned here will be useful in the future and I won't toss boyonce's, Ammer's and the deans' time and dedication to the trash because it isn't easy to pull this kind of threads.
During my time in Charm School, my favourite classes were Ancient History because it made me realize how much of a messy user I was, the English class because it also made me realize that most of the time I was just doing LQ posts that were basically filler instead of bringing something intelligent to a conversation and the Science class because I got to meet Jad which is one of the best members in this site, he is kind and smart which is something hard to find in this forum, it doesn't mean that I didn't like the other classes, in fact this a short way of saying what I learned through Charm School:
Forgive people that were mean to you and apologize in case you were the one being mean because you never know how a couple of words can change someone.
Think before you post, it's better to be known as a intelligent member rather someone who posts for the "kii's"
ATRL is already full of negative vibes, trying to make the forum a nice place for users (especially the new ones) that feel they will be "dragged for filth" won't hurt anyone.
Before I joined ATRL most people that knew about this site used to tell me that it was full of catty users and it turned nice members into sassy users, sadly this is true because most of the users in here, praise people that drag celebrities, other members, etc. just because they make them laugh. That's why I was also a messy user when I joined, because I didn't know that being a classy user is way better even if people don't notice me, having substance and writting posts that are worth replying is a better feeling than just writting a bunch of gibberish to make other people laugh for 2 minutes and forget about what I wrote. If more people out there knew that you can actually find smart members here then they would actually start giving different opinions in the threads and have nice conversations rather than go to the easy way and be one of the rest.
Like I said in the beginning, I still have a long way to go but after Charm School is over I will keep doing my best to be a classy member and even if I fall back I can always ask for advice to the deans (if they don't mind).
Why should I win?
In all honesty, I don't think I'm the best person to represent Charm School because sometimes I can be messy at times without realizing but the person that should win should be JadGhamloush96 because he has shown all the qualities that it takes to be a Charm School ambassador, he has improved through the past weeks and he is shapen to be a representation of a classy member.
I want to thank boyonce and Ammer for giving me this opportunity and also the deans for their critics. It was a pleasure meeting all of you and I hope we can stay in touch after the competition ends.
Amazing, guys. You all did such an amazing job, I'm very happy for all three of you! You deserve the final, such an interesting, and classy people you guys are. Any of you will be a fabulous winner, I'm honored that I was able to play in here with you! Hugs to all of you
Seriously, I am so proud of you all and truly feel like each one of you wholly understand the true purpose of this game and that it's so much more than just having fun. No matter who wins, you've all bettered yourselves and should feel awesome about that.
