Weekend Speech
The event of Relay for Life is quite a lengthy one, and the going-ons of the night can only be understood by someone who attended the walk. However, by assigning us a speech about our weekend, Mr. Jones had us explain the unexplainable fun of staying at a high-school track all night to raise money and awareness about cancer. I related the weekend and its events to a movie, and built my speech on that, using it as a foundation. The writing was the easy part, though. Mr. Jones volunteered me to go first, and in doing so, brought out my fear of public speaking, characterized by shaking and stuttering. However, I pushed through that confidently, and received a 15/15 for my efforts.
