TRANSCRIPT: Hello, I’m Severn Suzuki speaking for ECO, The Environmental Children’s Organization. We are group of twelve
and thirteen-year-olds trying to make a difference. Vanessa Suttie, Morgan Geisler, Michelle Quigg and me. We’ve raised all the
money to come here ourselves to come five thousand miles to tell you adults you must change your ways. Coming up here today, I
have no hidden agenda. I am fighting for my future. Losing my future is not like losing an election or a few points on a stock market.
I am here to speak for all generations to come. I am here to speak on behalf of the starving children around the world whose cries
go unheard. I am here to speak for the countless animals dying across this planet because they have nowhere left to go. I am afraid
to go out in the sun now because of the holes in our ozone. I am afraid to breathe the air because I don’t know what chemicals are
in it. I used to go fishing in Vancouver, my home with my dad until just a few years ago we found the fish full of cancers. And now we
hear of animals and plants go extinct everyday…vanishing forever.

In my life, I have dreamt of seeing the great herds of wild animals, jungles and rainforests full of birds and butterflies, but
now I wonder if they will even exist for my children to see. Did you have to worry of these little things when you were my age? All
this is happening before our eyes and yet we act as if we have all the time we want and all the solutions. I’m only a child and I don’t
have all the solutions., but I want you to realize, neither do you! You don’t know how to fix the holes in our ozone layer. You don’t
know how to bring the salmon back up a dead stream. You don’t know how to bring back an animal now extinct. And you can’t bring
back the forests that once grew where there is now a desert. If you don’t know how to fix it, please stop breaking it!

Here, you may be delegates of your governments, business people, organizers, reporters or politicians but really you are
mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, aunts and uncles, and all of you are someone’s child. I’m only a child yet I know we are
all part of a family, five billion strong…in fact, 30 million species strong and borders and governments will never change that. I’m
only a child yet I know we are all in this together and should act as one single world towards one single goal. In my anger, I am not
blind, and in my fear, I am not afraid of telling the world how I feel. In my country, we make so much waste, we buy and throw away,
buy and throw away, buy and throw away, and yet northern countries will not share with the needy. Even we have more than
enough, we are afraid to share. We are afraid to let go of some of our wealth. In Canada, we live the privileged life, with plenty of
food, water and shelter…we have watches, bicycles, computers and television sets. The list can go on for two days.

Two days ago, here in Brazil, we were shocked when we spent time with some children living on the streets. This is what
one child told us, “I wish I was rich…and if I were, I would give all the street children food, clothes, medicines, shelter and love and
affection.” If a child on a street who has nothing, is willing to share, why are we who have everything still so greedy? I can’t stop
thinking that these are children my own age that it makes a tremendous difference where you are born, that I could be one of those
children living in the Favellas of Rio. I could be a child starving in Somalia…or victim of war in the Middle East or a beggar in India.
I’m only a child yet I know if all the money spent on war was spent on finding environmental answers, ending poverty and finding
treaties, what a wonderful place this earth would be!

At school, even in kindergarten, you teach us how to behave in the world. You teach us: to not to fight with others, to work
things out, to respect others, to clean up our mess, not to hurt other creatures, to share – not be greedy. Then why do you go out
and do the things you tell us not to do? Do not forget why you’re attending these conferences, who you’re doing this for, we are your
own children. You are deciding what kind of a world we are growing up in. Parents should be able to comfort their children by saying
“everything’s going to be alright” “It’s not the end of the world.” “And, we’re doing the best we can.” But I don’t think you can say that
to us anymore. Are we even on your list of priorities? My dad always says “You are what you do, not what you say.” Well, what you
do makes me cry at night. You grown-ups say you love us, but I challenge you, please make your actions reflect your words. Thank
you.

TRANSCRIPT: In a perfect Philippines, our people be educated. We’ll be able to compete internationally, we’ll be able to match with
Singapore on the level of education. We’ll be able to send our children not only to grad schools but also to brighter future. In a perfect
Philippines, we have a smart voting electorate. People would know the issues, people would have a greater understanding beyond you
know this is an important issue…ah Si Tito Sotto ganito…Si Mirriam Defensor ganito…people would know more… and in a perfect
Philippines, we have a greater love for our own language so that students and people and kids like me would make tawag their drivers so
that they can make put that to the park so that they can have fun, make hangot hangot lang and make tusok tusok the fishball if they get
gutom.

In a perfect Philippines, this will happen, but sadly we don’t live in a perfect Philippines. The question I was given was if I were
the president of the Philippines…somehow…I would…ah..what would I do with three years left. What three reforms would I make, what
three things would I do to give the Filipino youth a better and brighter future and those were the three things, and those three changes
organized…the firstly..ah…Firstly on education, secondly on love for our culture and thirdly on our political involvement so that it won’t just
be me for example to be a decent president…we’ll have great president in the future in the Philippines who will finally rise above where it is
now and the place where it belongs back to be the pearl of the orient as it was before. The first idea was education ‘cause I believe that the
Philippines deserves a greater scope of education, the Philippines deserves a greater institution for which people can learn. Let’s take a
look at Singapore, it is a Southeast Asian nation. It’s smaller than us. It doesn’t have our national resources and yet it is among and one of
the greatest institutions or its public-school system one of the greatest within Southeast Asia, within even the world.

The public system..ah.. the public schooling education in Singapore is so good that if you drop out of public school that is the
only time you consider going to a private school. Can you imagine that? They have a great government, they have a great system in place
and Singapore’s graduates end up going to higher places, sadly the Filipino graduates once like that simply because of the fact that our
system is flood, our system is characterized by corruption, our system is characterized by such your school is lucky, your public school is
rather lucky if you have enough desk and chairs for all of the students to sit because if not, they have to sit on the floor and if not they might
even stand outside of the classroom hoping that they can hear things that the teacher tell them so that they can get a brighter future. That’s
not right, that’s not how it works, that has to change.

The second thing, let’s move on to the cultural. Tusok tusok the fishball…ah…the idea of conium…this won’t exist if the Filipinos
or the Filipinos had a greater sense of love or respect for their own country, for their own identity or for their own language. Do I have it?
Sadly, well I think that I do actually, but sadly I haven’t been able to foster it. As you can tell how I speak well in English now. If you have to
ask me if I will prefer to speak in English this well or to speak in Tagalog as well as I can speak English…I’ll speak Tagalog. Other
countries have English. So many countries in the world it doesn’t make us special if they notice we speak well. How many countries have
Filipino as a national language? How many countries have Filipino as language spirit? Only ours. And people worth of love the Filipino
language, I guarantee you they would love the Philippines. If they would only love their own culture and embrace their identity as Filipinos.
It would translate into action because we know that we are part of this greater theme, bigger than us. It’s exclusive to us. It is our home. Is
our home now, ours? Perhaps it is, perhaps it’s not. I can’t say. Could we stand to love our home a little bit more? Yes, we can. If I were
president, I don’t know how, but I will make it happen so that we do.

The last idea depends on the first two that will happen. The Philippine youth, ladies and gentlemen needs to be better educated
not only in academics, not only what it comes to become more..ah…becoming more…ah…competitive in the international sphere, in
getting better jobs…it has to be more educated on the issues that are happening within its own borders. A smart and socially aware youth
leads to a smart and socially aware set of adults. A smart and socially aware set of adults leads to greater politician emerging from that
crowd. And it leads the overall populace being able to vote for people not because they’re popular, not because they saw them in the
movies but because they know that their platforms are better for the Philippines. Because they know that while all these candidates
hopefully love the Philippines, they’ll be able to discern which ones are better and which ones suit their interest more. Is that so much to
ask? I don’t think so. It’s not happening though. If I were president, I try my best to meet that change. If I were president, I try my best to
free the Philippines up. But at the end, it’s not ‘gonna know there’s a bit of sadness because I don’t have to be the president to get all this
change. This contest is entitled the voice of our youth. The voice of our youth is a small bit…it’s silent. Most people wouldn’t be able to
share it. Most youths don’t know how to use it. But the thing that gives me hope is that have platforms like this and other competitions or
more other avenues around the world for people to hear the voice of the youth, for people to be able understand and pick out the little
things that the youth have to say because apparently, there’s a lot of wisdom in the youth. Is there a lot of wisdom in me? I don’t know, in
other youth, definitely so. So therefore, we don’t need a great political leader. We don’t even need a good political leader. If the Philippines
were smarted up, I guarantee you these reforms would happen and these changes would happen. All we need to do is to try these reforms
the cultural. Put a little love in the Philippines, put a little love in your culture and identity and the rest will follow.

TRANSCRIPT:

It’s your constant companion. It’s in your pocket, in your bag, in your hands or against your head. You use it at home, in
class, at the gym before you go to sleep at night, and first thing you wake up in the morning. I’m talking of course about your
cellphone.

According to my class survey, everyone in this room has a cellphone. And all of us use it dozens of times every day. But
what if your constant companion is dangerous. What if it’s hazardous to your health. Evidence is piling-up that long-term use of
cellphones can lead to tissue damage, tumors and even brain cancer. Even that there are well over 4 billion people worldwide using
cellphones, we’re looking at a problem of potentially staggering magnitude. According to Deborah Davis, epidemiologist and author
of the 2010 book ‘Disconnect’, the truth about cellphone radiation, we may be watching an epidemic in slow motion. I’ve never
thought much about the possible perils of cellphones before I saw CBS news report on the subject earlier this year. But doing
extensive research for this speech made me realize that cellphones do in fact pose a danger to our health. Now, don’t worry, I’m not
going to persuade you to abandon your constant companion. I still use mine in a regular basis, and I probably always will. But I do
hope to persuade you to make one simple change in the way you use your cellphone. A change that will protect your health and
could even make the difference between a long life and premature death. But first, let’s look more closely at the health risks pose by
cellphones.

Those risks stem from the fact that cellphones emit small amounts of radiation that over time can damage tissue. Every
time you use your cellphone, you expose yourself to that radiation. The amount is miniscule in comparison to that given off by x-ray
machines, about 1:1 billionth of the intensity. However, Ronald Herbermann of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute explains
that the problem with cellphone radiation is not how much is emitted at a single time. But how much we are exposed to with
repeated use day after day, year after year. It’s this long-term use of cellphones that has led researchers to warn about their danger.
In one study, for example, the World Health Organization tracked 10,000 cellphone users over the course of 10 years. As reported
in the New York Times on November 13 th 2010, the data in this study indicated that subjects who used a cellphone 10 or more years
doubled the risk of developing brain tumors. Other studies have reached the same conclusion. Perhaps most important is a 2007
study in the Journal of Occupational Environmental Medicine that surveyed all the previous research on cellphone use, it found a
consistent pattern of increased risk for developing brain tumors among people who use cellphones for more than 10 years. Alan
Marx is one of those people. A 58-year-old real estate developer and father of 3, he talked on a cellphone an hour a day for 23
years. Two years ago, doctors found a golf ball-sized tumor in his brain. “There’s no question what caused it.”, he says, “It was my
cellphone.” And Alan Marx isn’t the only person to conclude that he’s sick because of his cellphone. And Gilman’s 2010 book
‘Zapped’ which deals at length with the health problems of cellphones, catalogs people who developed blinding headaches,
dizziness, circulatory problems, nausea, and cancer from the kind of radiation emitted by cellphones. Still not convinced about the
potential dangers posed by your constant companion? Take a look then inside the thick manual that comes with your phone. You’ll
see that all cellphone manufacturers warn against keeping the phone right next to your body. Apple for example, recommends
keeping the iPhone 5/8 inches away from your body. Makers of the BlackBerry recommend that you keep their phone a full inch
away. Cellphone manufacturers don’t publicize this information widely but they clearly recognize that their products are potentially
hazardous. So, what’s the solution? As I said earlier, it’s not to stop using cellphones altogether. I still use mine on a regular basis,
and I can’t imagine being without it. And I’m sure you can’t imagine being without yours. You can, however take seriously the risks
of cellphones and find a way to minimize those risks. Time and again, experts point out that the single most effective way to reduce
the risk is not to press your cellphone against your head while using it. Since the phone emits radiation, the closer you put it to your
head, the more radiation you expose yourself to. At the very least, you should hold the phone ½ an inch to one full inch away from
your ear, but ideally should get in the habit of not putting it up to your head at all. I now use my earbuds almost every time I use my
phone. Another option is to use your speakerphone. As with breaking any habit, changing the way you talk in your cellphone may be
slightly inconvenient at first, but will soon become second nature. You’ll be able to enjoy all the benefits of your constant companion
without suffering the fate of Allan Marx. If Marx had known the dangers of prolonged cellphone use, he would have done things a lot
differently. “I wouldn’t have held it to my head.”, he says, “I would have used the headset, I would have used the speakerphone, and
I would not have had the problems I had.

So, please get in the habit of keeping your cellphone away from your ear when talking, and encourage your friends and
family to do the same. Start today with your next phone call and continue every day in the future. We can avoid the slow-motion

TRANSCRIPT: MIDDLE SCHOOL SPEAKER

Introduction to the Speaker:
Our second middle school speaker today is the seventh grader from Mary G Porter Traditional School. His
name is Saheed Surin.
Saheed’s future goal is to attend Medical School. He’ll major in Neurology. He also wants to balance that with
participating in exotic sports as a Nabi. He informed us that he chose this competition because of his interest in the topic
and because of the opportunity to enhance his speaking and leadership goals. Please welcome him to the stage.
Saheed:
Honorable judges, respected teachers, and my fellow Americans. With highest respect and great honor to one
of the greatest nonviolent leaders in world history, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
I’m starting my speech today with a little imagination. Let’s imagine just for a second that Dr. Martin Luther King
Jr. is alive today, by seeing today’s society the racial distrust among ourselves that we are carrying every day. The
bigotry, the hatred, the intolerance we are having today, Dr. King would not sit idle. He would say nothing but the same
words he spoke 50 years ago. The way he started his movement, he would do it again. He would not allow us to keep
our mouth shut. He would encourage us to take a clear side. He would make the same legendary statement that he
made on March 8, 1965. Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. These words define
the life span of our society. With this current distrust, our society is moving towards the dark days of history once again.
So, let us be loud and make the dreams of those waiting come true. Waiting for a time where the world is better than it is
now. Waiting for a time where the world changes from what it was back then. 50 years from Dr. King’s passing, and
we’re still fighting for the Black Lives Matter movement. Times like the Charlottesville events when a car plowed over
protesters, making a split in our nation once again. We hear Dylann Roof’s confronting words after shooting nine people
in a church. These are unthinkable events happening today. And according to Dr. King’s teachings, these are what
matter most in our society. Today, we don’t really have the choice, whether we be active or silent. If you really want our
world to change, then we must come together to make these things happen. As Dr. King once said, “We may have all
come on different ships but we’re in the same boat now.”
Well, it looks as though that boat is sinking and only together can we fix it. And if we want to live in modern civil
society, then we must learn to coexist with the path shown by Dr. King. Dr. King taught us to stick with love. He said
hate is too great a burden to bear. Deep love can replace the deep disappointment. He taught to forgive. He stated,
“Forgiveness is not an occasional act; it is a constant attitude.”
My fellow Americans and friends, like they used to say, “Nero fiddled while Rome burned.” Our America is
burning too, and we cannot just sit around and play the violin like King Nero. We must raise our voice for the equality of
race. We must be vocal against all injustices. We must protest discrimination of any kind. We need to follow the path of
Dr. King to keep our country from repeating history again.
Dr. King, we promise, we will not fail you in your cause. We promise, we will stop this racial discrimination.
We’ll walk through your path, so we will not be silent. The United States of America will stay united. Thank you.

WHAT IS IT
Discussion 9

TOPIC 1: Types of Speech according to PURPOSE and DELIVERY

Types of Speech According to Delivery
1. Extemporaneous
• using notes rather than a full manuscript
Description • The extemporaneous speaker can establish and maintain eye contact
with the audience and assess how well they are understanding the speech
as it progresses.
Speaking Situations • When you are a candidate for a post in a student government and you
deliver your campaign speech before a voting public
• When you are assigned to report a topic in class
Advantages • promotes the likelihood that you, the speaker, will be perceived as
knowledgeable and credible
• Audience is likely to pay better attention to the message because it is
engaging both verbally and nonverbally.
Disadvantages • requires a great deal of preparation for both the verbal and the nonverbal
components of the speech.
Tips • Create an outline.
• Organize your points logically (most important to least important or vice
versa).
• Use facts and real-life experiences as your examples.
• Manage your time well.
• Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse

2. Impromptu
• presentation of a short message without advance preparation
Description • often occur when someone is asked to “say a few words” or give a toast
on a special occasion
Speaking Situations • informal, conversational settings
Advantages • spontaneous and responsive in an animated group context
Disadvantages • The speaker is given little or no time to contemplate the central theme of
his or her message.
• message may be disorganized and difficult for listeners to follow
Tips • Take a moment to collect your thoughts and plan the main point you
want to make.
• Thank the person for inviting you to speak.
• Deliver your message, making your main point as briefly as you can while
still covering it adequately and at a pace your listeners can follow.
• Thank the person again for the opportunity to speak.
• Stop talking.

3. Manuscript

10
 Description • the word-for-word iteration of a written message
• The speaker maintains his or her attention on the printed page except
when using visual aids.
For Whom it is • Public figures
advantageous • Media personalities
• Spokespersons for government and private organizations
Speaking Situations • Newscasting with a Teleprompter or an autocue device
• Presenting the legal proceedings and verdict in court
• Reading the rules and criteria in a contest
Advantages • Exact repetition of original words
Disadvantages • typically, an uninteresting way to present
• keeping one’s eyes glued to the script precludes eye contact with the
audience
Tips • Rehearse the speech over and over again until you sound natural.
• Observe accomplished news anchors and note how conversational they
sound when they deliver the news.
• Concentrate

4. Memorized

• the rote recitation of a written message that the speaker has committed
Description to memory
Speaking Situations • When you perform in a stage play
• When you deliver a declamation, oratorical, or literary piece
• When an actor or actress in a scene performs a script from memory
Advantages • enables the speaker to maintain eye contact with the audience
throughout the speech
• can move freely around the stage and use your hands to make gestures
Disadvantages • might end up speaking in a monotone or a sing-song repetitive delivery
pattern.
•might also present your speech in a rapid “machine-gun” style that fails to
emphasize the most important points
• if you lose your place and start trying to ad lib, the contrast in your style
of delivery will alert your audience that something is wrong
• might forget what you are supposed to say
• might memorize the speech mechanically resulting in a very unnatural
delivery
• might focus on content resulting to groping for the right words and might
make you look uptight and stiff
Tips • Rehearse the speech over and over again until you sound natural and feel
confident.
• Observe how actors/actresses perform their script in a theater, television,
or movie scene.

TOPIC 2: DELIVERY for DIFFERENT SITUATIONS

 Few situations where delivery skill will be simultaneously challenged and

honed:
- Run or be nominated for a school or local government office, so a room-
to-room and public campaign speech is required
- Be invited to welcome a visitor in your school or community, so an
opening or welcoming remark is necessary
- Be asked to represent your school or community in a literary contest

 Most common challenges in different speaking environments:

1. Speaking to a specific audience size

Description • Audience size depends on the venue size.

Advantages • You can determine your approach with your audience: more
intimate and personal for a smaller size; more formal for a larger
size.
Disadvantages • This can be challenging and intimidating.
Tips • Ask the organizers about the estimated number of the audience
so you can adjust your delivery.
• Practice, practice, practice.

11
 2. Speaking in an open-air venue or outside a building

Description • Examples are open courts or grounds, football fields, farms, etc.
Advantages • You will feel more relaxed due to the atmosphere of the venue.
Disadvantages • You will encounter a lot of communication barriers such as
noise, inattentive audiences, discomfort, challenging weather,
possible absence of technology such as audio-visual equipment,
etc.
• You might be forced to make adjustments, especially in voice
projection.
Tips • Check the venue prior to your speaking engagement.
• Ask the organizers about the availability of equipment.
• Challenge yourself on how you can get and maintain the
attention of your audience.
• Use the outdoor setting or venue to your advantage as a way of
jumpstarting your speech or as an example to support your main
point.
• Practice, practice, practice.

3. Speaking in different venues

Description • Speaking venues that vary according to size: classroom, meeting

or conference room, ball room, social hall, auditorium, covered
court, open court, etc.
Advantages • You will be exposed to different venues, which will add to your
public speaking experience.
Disadvantages • You will have to make big adjustments in terms of your
nonverbal cues: volume of voice, body language, facial expression,
etc.
Tips • Check the venue days before your scheduled speech and arrive
hours earlier in the venue, so you can determine the adjustments
to make.
• For a large venue, speak more slowly, use pauses frequently to
highlight the most important ideas of your speech, and make use
of facial expressions and gestures. When you use visual aids,
make them more visible.
• In a small venue, your audience will see you up close. Therefore,
manage your notes well when you use them and adjust your
nonverbal cues as necessary.

4. Speaking with a microphone

Description • Its main function is to increase the volume of your voice, not to
clarify the pronunciation and enunciation of words.
Advantages • With a microphone, you can easily get the attention of your
audience because of the loudness of your voice.
Disadvantages • Using a microphone can be challenging because there is a
tendency to underuse or overuse it.
Tips • Check the microphone if it functions well.
• Check your voice in the microphone to see whether you are
audible enough.
• In a small venue, you may not use a microphone, but you need
to manage your voice’s volume well.
• Practice, practice, practice.

5. Speaking with a podium or lectern

Description • A podium or lectern is a reading desk with a stand and a slanted

top.
Advantages • Notes can be placed on the slanted top, and will work best for
extemporaneous and manuscript speeches.
• The lectern can be used as a means to hide or cover nervousness
or stage fright.
Disadvantages • Some may have the tendency to hide their hands behind the
podium, which will not help them enhance their message.
Tips • Stand straight, as good posture exudes confidence.
• Avoid gripping the edges of the podium with both hands. Aside
from this, also avoid hiding them behind the podium.
• For extemporaneous and impromptu speakers, step to the side
occasionally once you have composed yourself, so you can
effectively use your gestures, make eye contact, and connect more
with your audience.

12
 • Practice, practice, practice.

Note: Whatever speaking situation you are in, the most important thing is you
MASTER YOUR SPEECH. You can only do this by constantly CARRYING OUT THE
RIGHT PRACTICES.

(Week 8)
Delivery

When you listen to the speeches of the champions, you may have
noticed that aside from the speech content, their delivery was also essential to their
victory. The speakers seemed so natural and at ease that you wonder. It is true that
some people are born with special gifts in public speaking, but it is also true that most
of the best public speakers either underwent intensive formal training or got involved
in several speaking situations that, over time, they were able to hone the skill.

WHAT I NEED TO KNOW

Learning Objective:

In this lesson, you will be able to:

1. Identify the characteristics of good delivery (Articulation, Modulation & Stage
Presence, Facial Expressions, Gestures & Movements and Audience Rapport)

WHAT’S IN
Recapitulation

Last week’s topics made us realize that a speaker creates a speech based
on the purpose he or she wants to achieve. With this, he/she will be guided on
what particular speech will he/she need to prepare and how to deliver it.

WHAT I KNOW
Pretest

With different information you’ve learned about speech delivery, identify the given
statements whether they are true or false. Write the letter T if the statement is true
and F if the statement is false in the provided answer sheet. (10 pts.)

1. The skills you learn and practice in public speaking are transferable to other
academic and career specialties.
2. You should not make it your goal to eliminate nervousness.
3. In your speaking outline, include just enough information to be able to cite
each of your sources.
4. The audience will help you determine when to speak simply and directly and
when to enhance your language.
5. One key to effective oral style is to use familiar language.
6. Public speaking is only verbal activity.
7. Public speaking is addressing a gathering.
8. Confidence should be avoided during the delivery of speech.
9. For extemporaneous method to work, you must spend a lot of time preparing
and rehearsing your speech.
10.Effective public speakers adapt their speaking styles to the physical settings
and the occasions for their speeches

 WHAT IS IT
Discussion

TOPIC: PRINCIPLES of Speech Delivery

 Tools for Effective Speech Delivery

To be effective in your delivery, watch and emulate people who speak in
public excellently. While observing, take note of the following:
• How they approach their audience (formal, informal, personal,
conversational, intimate, among others)
• How they connect with their audience (using eye contact, body
movements, and facial expressions)
• How they present themselves (stage presence: how they look, stand, walk,
use nonverbal cues, act on and off the stage)
• How they use their voice in terms of volume (loudness or softness), pitch
(highness or lowness), rate or speed, pauses to show emphasis and strengthen
the clarity of the message, vocal variety (effective changes in volume, pitch, rate
and pauses), and pronunciation

 Principles of Speech Delivery

 1st Principle: ARTICULATION
- refers to the speaker’s skill in pronouncing the words of the speech since
clear diction effectively transmits the message
- utterance or enunciation
- act of vocal expression
 1st act of speech – breathing (get air into a storage chamber)
 2nd act of speech – phonation (process by which you force air into
vibration by the action of the vocal folds)
 3rd act of speech – resonation (your mouth, nose & throat cavities
amplify the sound so you can hear it)
 4th act of speech – articulation (modify the sound by movement of the
teeth, tongue, and lips into recognizable patterns)
 nd
2 Principle: MODULATION
- refers to the speaker’s ability to adjust or manipulate the resonance and
timbre of one’s voice
- the fine-tuning of the pitch or tone of voice that helps the audience
clearly hear and understand the lecture, presentation, and speech
delivered by a speaker

Note: Proper modulation gives life to a talk, stirs emotion, and motivates to action.
Lack of modulation may give the impression that you have no real interest in your
subject.

 Always convey your message with the variation in the pitch and
tempo. Never deliver your speech in a monotone as it will not only
bore but also send your audience to sleep.
 Speak at a rate so that your audience can understand you because
fast delivery betrays a lack of confidence.
 Speak normally at about 125 to 150 words per minute. Check your
speed and try to bring it within this range.
 Pronounce words properly, putting stresses at the right syllables.

16
  Speak loud enough so that everyone in the audience can hear you
clearly.
 Pause for a moment in between sentences to control your speed and
approach better.
 Refrain from vocalized pauses and nasalization such as ‘er’, ‘ah’,
‘unh’, ‘umm’, etc.
 Take care that you do not repeatedly use such phrases as ‘you see’, ‘I
mean’, ‘What I meant’, ‘Understand?’, ‘Have you understood?’,
‘Clear?’, ‘Is it clear?’, ‘Was it clear?’, etc.

 3rd Principle: STAGE PRESENCE

- refers to the speaker’s ability to “own” the stage, filling it with one’s
personality and projecting it to the audience or group of listeners
- sum total of all the qualities that keep the audience engaged while
delivering a speech
 1st sphere - Appearance and comfort (You must be dressed to the
occasion.)
 2nd sphere - Body posture and attitude
 Right from the moment you step on that stage, your body
language matters.
 The way you stand, your speaking posture, use of hand gestures
etc. everything counts and hence must be well noted and taken
care of.
 3rd sphere - Tone of the speech
 You can play with different styles, as is suitable to the topic of
your speech.
 Voice modulation, use of examples, a peck of humor, etc.; all
these are important in engaging the audience.
th
 4 sphere - the use of stage space
 It is a smart move on the part of a speaker to choreograph his
speech, that is, he must plan a speech to be delivered using
different parts of the stage at different levels.

 4th Principle: FACIAL EXPRESSIONS, GESTURES, and MOVEMENT

A. FACIAL EXPRESSIONS are meaningful visible symbols of speech.
This reflects the speaker’s thinking and emotional attitudes
o Two Principles
a. Manifest facial expression naturally by freeing yourself of inhibition.
b. Avoid planning or rehearsing facial expressions in advance for they
should be directed by the meaning of the words being conveyed.
o Common Sins in the Use of Facial Expressions
a. Poker face is a product of nervous tension which inhibits facial
expressions.
b. Mugger is an exaggerated facial grimace which distracts the attention
of the audience for it calls to itself not the message of the speech.
c. Facial contortionist is a way whereby the speaker releases pent-up
tension through random activity of the facial muscles.
B. MOVEMENTS/ BODILY ACTIONS are supplements to good speech
with its being transformed into actual replacement for the audible
code. Its uses include: (a) adjusting to the speaking situation: (b)
securing and maintaining interest and attention: (c) clarifying
meaning and (d) attaining emphasis in speech.
o Common Sins in the Use of Movements

17
 a. Statue/Stone- The speaker appears incapable of movement.
b. Pacer- The speaker paces and walks from one side of the platform to
the other and back.
c. Swayer- The speaker rhythmically moves his body from side to side or
forward and backward followed by the shifting of weight.
C. GESTURES are purposive movements of some parts of the body, but
not the entire body. These include movements of heads, shoulders,
arms and occasionally feet. These are all physical movements that
represent concretely the ideas and emotions of the speaker. These are
also the products of the inner impulses and forces of thought of a
speaker.
o Classifications of Gestures
a. Descriptive gestures indicate the meaning literally or by suggestion.
b. Symbolic gestures are representative of figurative rather than literal.
c. Locative gestures refer to pointing a place, position or direction.
d. Emphatic gestures are used when words or ideas need to be stressed
or reinforced.
e. Transitional gestures are used to move your audience from one idea
to the next or to enumerate things.
f. Dramatic/imitative gestures convey impersonation of another
person’s action.
o Uses of Gestures
a. To point the location of objects usually in the sight of the audience
but they may be in the imagination
b. To give emphasis to statements or to ask questions
c. To entreat/plead for something
d. To picture an object
e. To stimulate the imagination
o Parts of a Gesture
a. Preparation consists of taking the hand to the point where the stroke
or emphasis occurs.
b. Stroke is definite action to emphasize, supplement, describe or
suggest the thought being expressed.
c. Return brings the arm and the hand easily back to the resting
position.
o Common Sins in the Use of Gesture
a. Random action includes fidgeting with pencils, button, bracelets,
beads, pockets, coat lapels, wiggling; doing dance strokes with heels
or sales; rubbing chin and noise; running fingers through the hair;
taking eyeglasses off and putting them on.
b. Perpetual motion is a constant and continued use of hands will
hinder reinforcement of meaning.
c. Abortive gesture is an incomplete or not adequately executed
movement.

OPEN GESTURES CLOSED GESTURES

Open hands Hand covering mouth
Palms up Making fists
Unbuttoning jacket Peering over top of glasses
Spontaneous eye contact Glancing at exit
Smile Frown

Patting Open palm tapping
Rubbing palms together Hand wringing
Affirmative head nods Head lowered
Calm use of facial movements Staring or eyes closed

barriers
 5th Principle: AUDIENCE RAPPORT
AUDIENCE RAPPORT- “building rapport” is the name given to the process of
creating an understanding and harmonious, bond between yourself and someone else.
Good rapport ensures that the message will be actively listened to.
Rapport builders include:
 Dressing and grooming appropriately for the occasion
 Being organized, ready with suitable content
 Demonstrating in your opening statements that you know who you’re talking
to because you’ve done your homework
 Using inclusive language- “we” rather than “I”
 Identifying and emphasizing your common ground respectfully and sincerely
 Avoiding jargon unless everyone knows what you’re talking about
 Showing that you’re human too by sharing personal experience in the stories
you tell
 Being mindful of body language and making eye contact
 Appearing confident, positive, in control and open
 Understanding the impact of your vocal delivery
Stage fright- is a fear of speaking in front of a group of people. This is often
called “performance anxiety”. Actors call it “flop sweat”. Psychologists call it
“topophobia”.
Symptoms:
- Dry mouth -tight throat -sweaty hands
- Shaky hands -nausea -fast pulse
- Trembling lips -shaky knees -cold hands
- Any out-of-the-ordinary outward or inward feeling occurring before or
during a presentation

How to Manage Stage Fright

 Learn and practice diaphragmatic breathing
 Learn to be grounded in your physical body
 Give yourself permission to feel the nervous tension
 Use the right joke at the right time
 Involve your listeners
 Concentrate on what you’re saying, not on how you’re saying it
 Prepare, prepare, prepare

A speech that changed my life. The full version of the winning speech!

TRANSCRIPT: You and I are not very different from this flower. Just like this flower is unique, you are unique.
All of us have something special that makes us as beautiful. Do you know what makes you special? Now the
answer to that can be a little difficult to find, because sometimes life has a cruel way of picking out your petals,
breaking you in two and throwing you into the trash. Now when you’re broken, it’s very difficult to feel special.

Mr. Contest Chair, my fellow flowers. I can remember the first time I broke. I was 17 years old. I had
already flunked high school and managed to get myself arrested. Now, I wasn’t afraid of the cops, but there
was one person I was very afraid of and that was my mama. Raise your hand if you have an emotional
mother. Let me see. Put them all together you get my mama. I can hear her scream outside the police station;
even the cops were afraid. She came up to me, held the iron bars, looked into my eyes and I saw a tear
coming down her face.

Now I’ve seen my mama cry before, but mothers cry three types of tears: tears of joy, tears of sorrow
and tears of shame. And when a son sees a mother cry tears of shame, that’s a life-changing moment. She
looked at me and said, “Son, I want you to be a better man”. That night, when I drove home, my dad was
waiting for me at home.

Now, my dad is a cool dad. Raise your hand if you have a cool dad. Put them all together you get my
dad. My dad came up to me and said “Son, it’s OK. You flunked your exams. You already got arrested. That’s
fine. You get that from your mother's side. I want you to start working immediately”. And I said, ‘OK.’

So, my dad took me to meet one of his friends called Sam. Now, Sam was an accountant who had an
accounting firm and had generously decided to make me his personal assistant, and there he was. He looked
like a teddy bear, but this man was special. I looked at him and he looked at me, and then he said the most
amazing thing.

He said “Son, I see something in you, but I don’t know what it is. If you decide to work with me, I can
help you find that something”. And I was like, wow, that’s the first time in my whole life somebody has ever
told they see something in me. And I started working for Sam.

And every day after work he used to tell me stories about the world, about history, about culture,
about philosophy and it was much more interesting than what I learned in school. And I discovered I can
dream and I started dreaming, ladies and gentlemen. After one year I went back into high school, completed
my exams and went into college.

After successfully completing college, I found a great girl, but not a job. I didn’t know what I wanted to
do with my life. Have you ever had that problem? And when you’re lost, it’s difficult to feel special. So, I went
back to my cool dad and I said: “Dad, I feel lost”.

He said, “You are like your mother.”

So, my dad introduced me to this strange club that had a strange name, with strange people, talking.
On the first meeting, they told me to do something called a table topic. I aced it. But while I was speaking I see
a strange man seated in the back row, humble, simple, the unfailing quality of kindness in his eyes. As soon
as I finished, he walked up to me, looked me dead straight in the eye and said, “Son, I see something in you,
but I don’t know what it is. If you come here twice a month maybe we can find that something.”

And ladies and gentlemen, I discovered I could speak and I love speaking and that led me to become
a teacher. I know what it’s like to not have enough money in your bank account. I know what it’s like to worry
when the bills start coming in. And sometimes in the middle of the night, I wake up my beautiful wife and ask
her “Honey, why did you marry me?”

She says, “I saw something in you, but I still I don’t know what it is”

Ladies and gentlemen, today I’m a dreamer, I’m a speaker and I learned the unfailing quality of
unconditional love from my wife. I was broken and I’ve been broken, lost and broke many times in my life, but
the people in my life were able to reach into the trash can and make me whole again. If it was up to me, I
would have never been able to do that. And this is why if you have great people in your life, no matter how
broke, how lost or how broken you become they can piece you back together. Ladies and gentlemen, when I
look at you, I see something in you, but I don’t know what it is. Over to you.

 WHAT IS IT
Discussion

TOPIC: MORE TIPS for EFFECTIVE SPEECH DELIVERY

Following are more techniques and tips to help you deliver your speech well:
1. Use a conversational style more often. This is the style that is more
natural; it is the style that you always use when you express yourself with
your family and friends. Audience members do not like the speaker to
sound unnatural or exaggerated.
2. Look your audience members in the eye so they will feel that they are part
of your speech. Eye contact should be maintained to keep the attention of
your audience and enhance your delivery.
3. Remember to adjust your volume to the size of the audience and the
venue. When addressing a large audience, modulate your voice in such a
way that you speak loudly without sounding like shouting or yelling.
4. Vary your rate or speed to keep your audience interested and to avoid a
monotone pattern. The audience might get bored if you speak very slowly
and they might get confused if you speak very fast. Hence, your rate
should be at an appropriate speed.
5. Master your voice and find your pitch level (high or low). If you have a high
pitch level, modulate or slightly move it down. If you have a low pitch level,
modulate or slightly move it up. Your performance will definitely be
affected if you do not modulate.
6. Use pauses when you emphasize the most important words, phrases, or
sentences. Your pauses should not last for three seconds. Otherwise, it will
result in dead air or a moment of awkward silence.
7. Pronounce and enunciate words correctly. You will confuse the audience if
you mispronounce words, and it could distract them and affect your
credibility.
8. Avoid fillers or expressions that substitute actual words in your speech
because these words are distracting. Examples of fillers are “like,” “um,”
“ah,” “uh,” and “er.” To reduce the use of these fillers, detect the instances
when you use them: Do you generally use fillers after each sentence,
between different ideas, or whenever you make transitions? Then, instead
of using them the next time you deliver a speech, simply stop and pause.
9. Start your speech by standing straight and balancing your weight. This
will give a positive first impression.
10.Use precise movements. Avoid distracting mannerisms like swaying back
and forth, leaning on the podium, licking or biting your lips, playing with
your wristwatch or jewelry, scratching parts of your body, frowning, and
others. Observe your mannerisms and learn how to avoid them when
speaking in public.
11.Avoid having a poker face or a highly animated face. These facial
expressions appear distracting and may even be annoying. Instead, follow
the most highly suggested tip: smile. However, make sure that the
meaning of your speech reflects in your facial expressions; do not smile if
you are talking about something sad.
23
 12.Dress properly and appropriately. Wearing the proper attire will make
you look more confident and professional. Make sure not to overdress, as
this may distract your audience.
13.Observe ethics by coming prepared, being honest with your words, being
polite, avoiding offensive words and back-biting or talking negative things
about other people, or copying someone’s work without proper
documentation.
14. Breathe in and out to relax before your speech. Most importantly, have
fun.

on who the client wants to reach and how much money they want to spend and how many people they wanted to get
their ad up to ahm that’s how they would determine ahm what form of media is the best and that’s what a media buyer
would do.
Ahm the next major field in ahm marketing is product management and they’re usually the direct marketer in
the ahm in the original client company so there’s usually like the product manager for some place like Wallmart or you
know Sony like I was saying before so they’re responsible for managing and strengthening all of their brands ahm so
basically they control business and marketing activities such as research and development packaging, manufacturing
sales advertisement etc. to create the right image for their product ahm project management is also a difficult field to get
into usually need many years of working in sales and a master’s in business business and then administration ahm
before you can be considered in project management ahm usually newcomers these positions are put on a brand team
and work their way up to brand manager ah another traditional marketing field is retail and some careers in retail include
working at store such as JCPenny Target the gap Walgreens as either like a manager trophy or a manager could also
work in sales trying to sell your client your you’re ahm ah trying to sell your product to a client and ahm you could also be
buyer where you select the products that go on the shelves of the store.
Ahm the last field that I researched was the market research field and this field combines psychology and
marketing ah usually you work in an advertising agency and UI wise the different qualitative and quantitative data to
determine how to promote a product so you’re looking for like like what customers want and how to incorporate things
like that in the advertisements of your product so like ah and also like you look reason like why your different
commercials work you want to have advertisers that are going to appeal to different wants and needs of customers and
that’s what market research tries to figure out and for this career also a Maters in Business Administration is very helpful
and you also have to be very good at analyzing data ahm so yah that’s interesting field in marketing so that’s my
research on marketing industry.

TRANSCRIPT: GEENA ROCERO (Why I must come out) The world makes you something that you’re not, but you know
inside what you are, and what question burns in your heart: How will you become that? I may be somewhat unique in this, but I am
not alone, not alone at all. So when I became a fashion model, I felt that I’d finally achieved the dream that I’d always wanted since I
was a young child. My outside self finally matched my inner truth, my inner self. For complicated reasons which I’ll get to later, when
I look at this picture, at that time I felt like, Geena, you’ve done it, you’ve made it, you have arrived. But this past October, I realized
that I’m only just beginning. All of us are put in boxes by our family, by our religion, by our society, our moment in history, even our
own bodies. Some people have the courage to break free, not to accept the limitations imposed by the color of their skin, by the
beliefs of those that surround them. Those people are always the threat to the status quo, to what is considered acceptable.

In my case, for the last nine years, some of my neighbors, some of my friends, colleagues, even my agent did not know
about my history. I think, in mystery, this is called the reveal. Here is mine.

I was assigned boy at birth based on the appearance of my genitalia. I remember when I was five years old in the
Philippines walking around our house, I wouldl always wear this t-shirt on my head. And my mom asked me, “How come you always
wear that t-shirt on your head?” I said, “Mom this is my hair. I’m a girl.” I knew then how to self-identity.

Gender has always been considered a fact, immutable, but we now know it’s actually more fluid, complex and mysterious.
Because of my success, I never had the courage to share my story, not because I thought what I am is wrong, but because of how
the world treats those of us who wish to break free. Every day, I am so grateful because I am a woman. I have a mom and dad and
family who accepted me for who I am. Many are not so fortunate.

There’s a long tradition in Asian culture that celebrates the fluid mystery of gender. There is a Buddhist goddess of
compassion. There is a Hindu goddess, hijra goddess. So, when I was eight years old, I was at a fiesta in the Philippines celebrating
these mysteries. I was in front of the stage, and I remember, out comes this beautiful woman right in front of me, and I remember
that moment something hit me: That is the kind of woman I would like to be. So, when I was 15 years old, still dressing as a boy, I
met this woman named T.L. She is a transgender beauty pageant manager. That night she asked me, “How come you are not
joining the beauty pageant?” She convinced me that if I joined that she would take care of the registration fee and the garments, and
that night, I won best in swimsuit and best in long gown and placed second runner up among 40 plus candidates. That moment
changed my life. All of a sudden, I was introduced to the world of beauty pageants. Not a lot of people could say that your first job is
a pageant queen for transgender women, but I’ll take it.

So from 15 to 17 years old, I joined the most prestigious pageant to the pageant where it’s at the back of the truck, literally,
or sometimes be a pavement next to a rice field, and when it rains – it rains a lot in the Philippines – the organizers would have to
move it inside someone’s house. I also experienced the goodness of strangers, especially when we would travel in remote provinces
in the Philippines. But most importantly, I met some of my best friends in that community.

In 2001, my mom, who had moved to San Francisco, called me and told me that my green card petition came through, that
I could now move to the United States. I resisted it. I told my mom, “Mom, I’m having fun. I’m here with my friends, I love travelling,
being a beauty pageant queen.” But then two weeks later she called me, she said, “Did you know that if you move to the United
States you could change your name and gender marker?” That was all I needed to hear. My mom also told me to put two E’s in the
spelling of my name. She also came with me when I had my surgery in Thailand at 19 years old. It’s interesting, in some of the most
rural cities in Thailand, they perform some of the most prestigious, safe and sophisticated surgery. At that time in United States, you
needed to have surgery before you could change your name and gender marker. So, in 2001, I moved to San Francisco, and I
remember looking at my California driver’s license with the name Geena and gender marker F. That was a powerful moment. I
mean, for some people, their I.D. is their license to drive or even to get a drink, but for me, that was my license to live, to feel
dignified. All of a sudden, my fears were minimized. I mean, I felt that I could conquer my dream and move to New York and be a
model.

26
 Many are not so fortunate; I think of this woman named Islan Nettles. She’s from New York, she’s a young woman
who was courageously living her truth, but hatred ended her life. For most of my community, this is the reality in which we live.
Our suicide rate is nine times higher than that of the general population. Every November 20 th, we have a global vigil for
Transgender Day of Remembrance. I’m here at this stage because it’s a long history of people who fought and stood up for
injustice. This is Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera. Today, this very moment, is my real coming out. I could no longer live
my truth for and by myself. I want to do my best to help others live their truth without shame and terror. I am here, exposed, so
that one day there will never be a need for a November 20th vigil.

My deepest truth allowed me to accept who I am. Will you?

Thank you very much.

My Second Home
It would be only fit to call my school my second home. After all, it is the place where I
spend most of my time after my home. Not only that, the atmosphere in my school is so
comfortable that it makes me feel at home.
I have always loved attending school and never miss out on an opportunity to do so.
Further, it is my second home also because I have my friends here who are nothing less than
family to me. Thus, they make my school life easier and full of joy. It is truly a blessing to have
them in my life.
Most importantly, my school is my second home because it teaches me a lot of things
each day. It is a safe space that allows me to grow every day and reach greater heights. As you all
know, we have our parents and older siblings at home who protect us at all times.
Similarly, at my second home which is my school, I have my teachers and seniors. They
make sure I reach my full potential and encourage me to do the right thing always.
Therefore, I will forever be grateful to my school for being a pillar of strength in my life.
Everything that I learn here stays in my mind and heart forever. One day I will have to bid
farewell to these beautiful red walls and inspiring teachers, but it won’t change anything. It is so
because my school is a part of who I am and it’ll always remain the same for my entire life.

TRANSCRIPT: VALEDICTORY SPEECH

Good evening, Class of 2010. Before I commenced my speech, I would first like to thank my family,
especially my aunt and uncle who came down from California, and my grandparents who flew from halfway around
the world. I’d also like to thank my friends and my academic adjudicators. Without any of you, I would not be where I
am today. Thank you because without your help, I would not have been given this chance to represent the class with
a lengthy speech comprised of highly personal anecdotes; a chance I now plan to take full advantage of. Now, I
realize that some of you do not care for what I’m about to say, so I invited Nathan Turner up here to enhance this
experience with some mood setting music. They should accommodate your ears so that as you get bored and zone in
and out of listening to my speech, all you’ll be able to hear is the soothing sound of the guitar.

So, to start, I’ll show you the beginning of freshman year. I believe this Rubik’s Cube represents our
freshman year very well because our freshman year was a puzzle. It wasn’t too long ago when the puzzle of entering
high school was presented before you. And most of us were nervous, anxious or scared, and questions like ‘how am I
going to fit in?’ filled our heads. And we became more concerned with what we wore, and who we hung out with, and
less concerned about who has more Pokemon cards. I don’t know about that one. It was a puzzle because just like
the Rubik’s Cube, you can turn it around. You just can’t turn it around in any unplanned direction, otherwise it’s just
going to get more mixed up. So, you have to start matching colors. You have to know what’s going on where. Who’s
dating who. And by the time freshman year is almost over, you almost, you’ve solved part of your Rubik’s Cube. You
still have a long way to go. Now, sophomore year was kind of a blur. You do not know what’s going on in high school,
but you’re still in underclassmen, so there’s nothing much going on. Time pass quickly and everything was drowned
out by the freshman swine and the upperclassmen’s authority. So, when we piece all the parts of sophomore year
together, creates a rather hazy fragmented memory that kind of feels like … Then, he just tried to trying all over the
place so I did what anyone else would do it… and I was already late and my pants were still not dry, so I decided to
get creative … and thus, we coast through sophomore year, leaving ourselves to wonder what really happened. Yet,
we managed to solve more of the Rubik’s Cube. And then junior year, we’re finally an upperclassman, and now you
are entitled to a lot more power to influence the school. You are becoming more of a leader than a follower, but you
soon realize that it just gets much harder from here. More AP classes are available. The IB program begins. Coaches
rely on you more. Underclassmen begin to look up to you. And you’re finally allowed to go to prom. It’s all fun until you
begin to realize what’s the responsibility that’s been given to you. You have to be careful in what you do because any
wrong move can send you back to square one. Every move you make has to be just right so that the last year in high
school will be simple. Now, if you’ve set it up right, senior year wouldn’t be as complicated as your previous three,
because most of you don’t even have a fourth period. But there is one thing, one important thing that you need to get
out of the way before you leave, and I think I can best describe this through the words of Blanche Jabber. So imagine
that you’re a single guy and you decide it’s time to start thinking about getting married. But you’re still young. You
don’t want to rush into anything, so you spent years trying to find the perfect girl. Every chance you get, you travel all
over the country, just to try and meet new people. Some you like more than others, some are too nerdy while others
party too much. But finally, after all your searching, you think you find the perfect one. Oh, she’s incredible. She’s fun,
smart, sexy, everything you wanted on a woman. And you decide to propose. But you only get one shot and you can’t
screw it up, so you spend months agonizing on how you’re going to do it, what you’re going to say to her. You set a
deadline for yourself so that you can’t put it off forever. And as the deadline of boat approaches, you begin to get
nervous. Are you good enough? Oh it feels as though everything you’ve been doing in your life has been leading up to
this moment. Finally, the deadline is here. You’re so nervous. She’s way out of your league. Is the ring big enough?
How many mistakes have you made so far? Is it too late to go back? Then, it’s over. You’ve submitted your proposal
and there’s nothing more you can do. She looks at you and she says, “Mmmm, let me get back to you in like four
months.” That’s pretty much what applying to college is like. And you know what, she’ll probably say no. But guess
what you didn’t tell her, you proposed to a bunch of back up chicks just in case you’re rejected. And they’re all
begging to come marry you instead. Well, now that college is just around the corner, all you have to do is just turn
those few sides… one second… and you finally solved your Rubik’s Cube. So, now it’s time to say goodbye to high
school and say hello to college.

So, now that we’re done with high school, it’s time to look ahead into the future. A few years from now, we’re
going to look back in these high school years and talk about our accomplishments and all the ridiculous things we’ve
had to do. We’ll all probably laugh about all the stuff we’ve done and said while we were still in high school. And then
just remember, you gotta just remember, as we go on, we remember all the times we had together. And as our lives
change from whatever, we will still be friends forever.

The only thing left to say now is congratulations to the West Hall High School Class of 2010. And to those
who help us get here. Thank you.

My Second Home
It would be only fit to call my school my second home. After all, it is the place where I
spend most of my time after my home. Not only that, the atmosphere in my school is so
comfortable that it makes me feel at home.
I have always loved attending school and never miss out on an opportunity to do so.
Further, it is my second home also because I have my friends here who are nothing less than
family to me. Thus, they make my school life easier and full of joy. It is truly a blessing to have
them in my life.
Most importantly, my school is my second home because it teaches me a lot of things
each day. It is a safe space that allows me to grow every day and reach greater heights. As you all
know, we have our parents and older siblings at home who protect us at all times.
Similarly, at my second home which is my school, I have my teachers and seniors. They
make sure I reach my full potential and encourage me to do the right thing always.
Therefore, I will forever be grateful to my school for being a pillar of strength in my life.
Everything that I learn here stays in my mind and heart forever. One day I will have to bid
farewell to these beautiful red walls and inspiring teachers, but it won’t change anything. It is so
because my school is a part of who I am and it’ll always remain the same for my entire life.
