Competition

Hey everyone!!!!!!! Thank you for all of your prayers they really helped a lot!!!!! I was able to get through the three times that I had to give my speech with no problem; not until the last line of my third time through did I notice my throat getting really dry and sore. Everything went really well, and everyone did fantastic!!!!!! Lydia and Alyssa were absolutely wonderful!!!!!! I love speech!!!!!!!! The next competition is on February 11. Oh, I can't wait. I am really excited, because every time I get judged I find new ways I can improve my speech and make it better. I won third place!!! When my name was called, my mom let a gasping "ohhhhhhhh" and kind of jumped in her seat and me ,well, I don't remember that much. I was trying to get out of the pew and tripped on a backpack, then I went and got my certificate and returned all shaky. It was great.

Today, I page turned for a dad who was accompanied his son on the cello and earned some mula. And this afternoon I made some cookies as well as dinner for my mom, sisters, and me. It was kind of crazy. Well I have to go now. I hope you all have a wonderful week, and will blog soon. God Bless.

do you keep the same speech for the next competition or start working on a new one? It sounds like a fun hobby!
