A couple of weeks ago, Drake earned his high school diploma — and the requisite congratulations from oil magnate T. Boone Pickens — via a program at Toronto’s Jarvis Collegiate Institute. At a graduation ceremony, he gave a speech. Thankfully, someone had a smartphone in the building. Watch Drake’s earnest-as-all-hell speech below.

Another, shorter version:

97% on my final exam. 88% in the course. One of the greatest feelings in my entire life. As of tonight I have graduated high school!
