Public speaking competition

"Not to speak one's thought is slavery."

- Euripides

               Speak Sense Season 2: A Public Speaking Competition was held last November 27, 2015 at the APC Auditorium. Students from different schools came representing their respective school competed for their school’s glory. The theme of the event is “Whether it’s the best of times or the worst of times, it’s the only time we’ve got.” The competition was tight and every school did their best to perform their hearts out. I can see that they really practiced it long enough to master it. On the performance proper, it is now up to them how they can serve their prepared piece for us.

               The winner of the competition was a girl who told us about her broken family and how she managed to escape the suicide urges. I really can’t relate on depressed people but after she delivered her piece, I was struck by strong emotions and felt sad. I finally understood how they feel which is scary for some people especially me because I can’t imagine myself being a depressed person. The delivery of her piece was very good and I she deserves to win.

               Kudos to performers who entertained us with such beautiful pieces!
