My Journey of Speaking a Riches to Rags Story.
In high school I was the Golden Goose when it came to speaking. I went to all-state speech with groups and as an individual I got three scholarships, and four awards for what my mom refers to as the gift of gab. I also was chosen to give the graduation speech for my class. In speech class I would not practice. I would barely use an outline. I literally "winged it". I was told that I was the best speaker to ever come through our school. All of these things made me confident going to my first college speech. Then I found out the topic was the same as our papers.
I was terrified to speak on my dad's stoke. Would I offend someone? Would I cry? I did both, but I survived! I got through it. I had the worst speech of my life, but my last speech put me back on the right track. I believe that by the end of next semester I will be back to my former glory!

2nd Semester
I am happy to say I am back! I can now give a speech with all my style and all the guidelines of college professors. I love giving speeches. They are really something I get excited for. I have realized that I just need to have confidence in myself, and know that that is enough for me to do well. Others started believing in me when I started expecting more of myself. That is a lesson that I can apply to a lot more than speaking.
