Hello world and all who inhabit it. The time has come for many competitions to begin. I recently went to the SkillsUSA Regional Competition for prepared speech. That was a fun experience. For this competition I had all sorts of time to prepare a speech before the competition, then when I got there, we had to memorize our speeches and without any notes we had to give them. Once I found this out I was a little nervous because I thought I would’ve been able to take my notes up there with me. However, I found some ways to calm my nerves by reviewing the parts of my speech I was having trouble remembering and other things.
So we drew numbers, and I was the sixth one to go out of all the competitors. When my turn came around I went in front of two judges and gave them my speech, and did I mention it had to be between 5-7 minutes, but mine was a little over five *sighs in relief*.
Anyway afterwards we went to the awards ceremony, and I came in 2ND PLACE!!!  That means I get to go to the State Competition on the 23rd and 24th. That means I have to work harder on my speech in order for me to be able to go on to the other competitions like state and then the WORLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Mwhahahahaha. Well, that is all for now. TTYL
