Speeches

We are doing our yearly speech cycle at school. Every year students [have to] write speeches and present them to either the upper or lower school depending on what grade you are in [this starts in THIRD grade]. In the Upper school it is a competition. You start out by giving your speech in front of your class and the students and the teachers pick one or two people to go to semi- finals [ those are next Tuesday and I didn't even finish mine yet!!]. In semi- finals about two or three are picked for finals where you compete with the other finalists.

Last year I made it to the finals and competed with ninth graders [I was in sixth]. One of my classmates won the whole thing and it was really fun except that by the finals I had heard it three times. :]

Well anyways My parents are out and I am actually supposed to be finishing it right now...

PS I had a swim meet the other day and something amazing happened, I'll go into further details later :]

Sincerely,

D
