As we are approaching the dry runs, I feel like I have a really good outline done. I would definitely like to polish it up after dry runs but I know I have a stable foundation now. I definitely need to go over my speech and rehearse a lot more; I feel like I haven’t had enough time to write and rehearse this speech as I did last speech. The topic of this speech, I’m hoping, is going to be easy to talk about because I am going to be talking about my mom; I feel like she is one of the top people who I know like the back of my hand so I’m hoping I won’t be as anxious to give this speech. Regarding being anxious though, I really am just nervous about my voice being shaky and losing my breath again. I felt more than prepared for my speech 2 before I gave it, but when I actually started speaking it was like I forgot everything I had planned for. I’m hoping that I will be able to get through this speech because it is dedicated to my mom.
