Whatever your school calls it, we all do the same thing. And Speech is a great thing. I feel like speech is very under-appreciated and it needs to have it's proper praise. Speech has taught me so many things and brought me so much closer to some people I wouldn't have met otherwise.

In my high school, I have done Radio, Dec, and DDA. The only event I ever stuck with was Radio and Radio has been a battle all in it's own. I am not good. I do not speak well, but I am committed and that is all because of Radio. I did Radio all four years of school and I'm so glad that I did.

Speech has helped me come out of my shell. I have learned so many new things since joining speech. I learned how to be a team player. I learned that commitment is key.

I also learned that your team, will be your friends for life, and they also have the best memes. My team are a bunch of hooligans and I wouldn't trade any of them for the world.

You also get the best "partners in crime". My partner was in the same event as me for three years and now we are done together and we were both really upset.

So, after four years I have learned a lot. I learned how to be prepared. I learned how to memorize something quickly. I learned how to speak to people better. I learned how to make friends. And I learned that a lot of the friendships that I made in high school will stay with me for a long time.

Thank you speech for all the lessons! '
