hey guys! Thanx a lot for your suggestions and help. Here's the speech I had today, only abt 5 or 6 other ppl had humour n theirs, the rest were just boring and droning on.......
My speech:
An American expert, Peter Kline once said: 'School should be the best party in town”.
That’s like taking one step in the school grounds and yelling “yes!!! woohoo! let’s parteeee!!!”
(everyone laughed when I expressed this) but unfortunately that is not the case
The world is chaotic enough - schools have to be better, because we shape the future - schools should never be places of misery for anyone. We students, as a great majority, are the most powerful force in the school. Good afternoon [principal]
teachers and fellow students To be chosen Captain, or even vice-captain, of 2005 would be a wonderful opportunity. Representing the school and attending conferences would be of a great experience to me and it would also improve my confidence in public speaking. I had the privilege to be a representative from the school in a program called Young Achievement Australia. This has just occurred last year. We formed a business, and created products specifically targeted at teenaged girls. My role in this business was being a Manufacturing Director. This position had taught me to be well organised and take matters in my own hands in the last minute if something goes wrong. Of course, we were encouraged, advised and assisted by the advisors throughout the process. I also gained leadership skills, various experiences and a lot pressure in this program. Our business ended up as being one of the state’s finalists. Mind you, we were competing against yr 11, 12 and even university students. If I am elected as School Captain, you will get something in return - someone you can talk to... who will listen to your interesting and groundbreakingly original suggestions, maybe like that of a school-tie, who will flatter your ego endlessly. Provided you're an interesting person, who all of you are, since I'm boring, and two boring people cannot hold a conversation
A few ppl chuckled at this . In my five years at East Hills Girls’, I've been a reserved debator, peer support leader and somewhere along the way I passed my school certificate. So did all of you, but I think you'll agree that this is the most convincing thing I've said so far. I would have great pleasure in representing EHGTHS in any event, at any place at any time. A Chinese philosopher Konfyooshes (Confucius) once said: “If your plan is for one year, plant rice; If your plan is for ten years, plant trees; If your plan is for a hundred years,Educate children”.
Thank you.
