Best Speech Ever Given. (Got an A+ On It~! ^.^)


Some of you are sitting there thinking "Great, another speech~!" and some of you are thinking "Great... another speech..." Well, when I first heard of this assignment, I was kind of in the middle. 'A speech about anything?' I thought to myself. I kept on thinking of ideas. Kony, family issues, experiences...but the more I thought about it, the more I didn't want to do it. 'But it's my final!' I kept on telling myself. So I decided, at ten thirty four on a Wednesday night before this final speech was due, that I would do my speech on not wanting to do a speech.
"Oh Xion, you can't do that! Mrs. P will get mad!" Most of you are thinking that. And Mrs. P might get mad, but I had nothing else in mind. Besides, Mrs. P is pretty chill. I don't think she'll get too upset.But to get back on topic, I was very close to not doing a speech at all. But I can't allow that to happen. This speech class was really fun, it was, but this whole time, we have been told what to write. Whether it be a certain type of speech, such as a public adress or a persuasive speech. or something a little more detailed, such as an issue in our own school or a speech about an object that represents ourselves. Now, I may be labeled a hypicrite in the end, but the thought of being told what exactly to write ticked me off. I liked to tell people what I wanted to tell them, not what I was told to tell them. And now that we are supposed to write a free ranged speech, I was in shock. What was I supposed to write about??? I didn't have any lead, any idea. I was stuck. At that moment I was wishing for someone to tell me what to write about, anything that wouldn't seem too personal. And here I am, giving you my final speech, about not wanting to give you a final speech. I know when my name gets called for every speech, my legs shake, and I bob up and down just so I won't buckle my knees.
My voice wavers because I have an issue with studdering. I dislike giving speeches for that reason. Especially a final speech. If a final is only 15% of our grade why do people make such a big deal out of it? I decieded to brush off this final until the last second when I'm dead tired and probably don't even understand half of what I'm typing. Even more the reason to not want to give this speech. I know that I'll miss you all from this class, that isn't a lie. Even if I don't know you that well, I felt as though I got to know a bit more about each of you, and I get upset when a fun class like this ends, so I'd give a final speech, a good one, just so we could have another class together. But that's not going to happen, so my speech is going to be one that I can say without any hesitation. I DON'T WANT TO GIVE THIS DAMN SPEECH! I hope you enjoyed it though. Have a great next term~!
