I have been feeling rundown all week and crammed Monday and Tuesday nite for my biggest speech of the semester-Perssuasive! I picked how the budget cuts are affecting education from K-graduate level and offered some solutions to fix the problem.
It was a tough subject to research in such a short amount of time and with the added pressure from my professor to do real well in this speech it was nerve-racking to say the least. Good news is that I got an A+, and the professor stood up to say that my speech stood out from the rest and that in his entire 15 years of teaching, he has never given an A+ before in a perssuasive speech! Phew, I was thrilled, I really didn't think I did that well considering I had very little time to prepare and even less time to practice. Nice to know hard work pays off, in this case in the form of good grades!
