I WILL beat Xara in the speech competition

My most recent blog post was that my speech topic was about bullying. The day before speeches started I changed my speech topic and re-wrote it. My new topic was ... 'Why I will Xara at the speech competition.'

On Monday, I had memorised it but I could have improved on it a bit. Luckily I wasn't on Monday. On Tuesday I was prepared but that doesn't mean I didn't want more time to practise. I also wasn't on Tuesday. Wednesday was my time to shine. I went right after Xara because I thought it would go with the theme of my topic.

I personally think that I did well; after day of practising, it was worth it. I stood up there with my heart beating. I was so nervous that I actually gagged but I didn't end up vomiting. After I got into the speech I was less nervous. when I ended my speech I was so relieved.

Everyone says that I did really well... some even said that I did better than Xara. Xara still did really well and I am not sure whether she was actually worse than I was; right now I am just happy the it is finished.

  1. Well I hope you get in for the finals! I probably WON'T be getting in to the finals because of how scared and nervous I get in front of the class... ugh its a horrible feeling. I haven't done it yet. But I'll be doing it soon..... I can't wait (sarcastic voice)
