I need help with a speech! This is what i have so far.?

Question

I saw my first moving up ceremony when I was in 6th grade. I remember how each speech caused at least five people to cry. So when I left that humid, cramped auditorium, my main concern was MY future moving up speech. I wanted to write the most amazing, riveting speech anyone could ever create. I wanted to leave people crying for weeks to come. But then again, I was the attention seeking little oddball that dyed purple streaks in her hair and wanted a pet monkey.
I now realize that writing a speech that does my peers justice is harder than writing any thing in the world. How can I sum up three years spent with some of the funniest, smartest, weirdest, most interesting people I have ever met. How do I sum up all the awkward situations, all the fun, all the school dances that everybody not so secretly despises, all the late library books, all the essays, homework slips, and progress reports? In short how can summarize Little Red? How can I tell 39 other people how much they mean to me?

Answer 1

Tricky, this. Try: picking out those occasions or people or situations that U remember most. U can't mention everything. Who was your favourite teacher? Why? Your bestest friend? The one (friend or teacher) who helped U when U most needed it. The time when U and ur friends did something totally crazy. The progress report that was better/worse than expected! Tell them all how much they mean to U, explaining that U don't have all night to mention them all. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

This is part of the speech right?! This is very good so far! You are a very talented writer!

-maybe go back to some "remember whens"
-don't try to give the spotlight to one or two, if you mention people specifically be careful.
-comparisons are always cute: "Ms. Erics always made sure you were on time, while Mr. Devon made sure you were NOT on time..." etc.

What is this for exactly? Good luck!
