This was one of my pocket speeches I had written, but hadn't really worked on very much. I hadn't practiced or memorized anything. But there was opening and the toastmasters that were supposed to speak didn't show up. So I gave this...reading most of it.
I thought this was a good speech for our club because it relived some fond memories that we have shared together. Sonya loved it. She thought it would be a great one to share at a conference level because it is so motivating. I felt really bad then that I hadn't done it justice by practicing it. I haven't prepared or practiced any since the competition I lost. I kind of lost hope, but the ones I have given without a speech right in front of me have actually turned out ok. So maybe I don't need to sit down and right down every speech out.
I want to give this speech again one day and give it the justice it deserves. I feel like Toastmasters has given me alot of hope for what I want to be one day and it is one way I can repay its members.
