The last thing on our to-do list for the summer has been completed. Namely, going to the State Fair. I had qualified to compete in the Talent Show with my speech that I did in Speech and Debate.
We got to take a couple of our friends down with us. Their parents weren’t keen on going to the fair, but the kids wanted to, so we offered to take them. It was a lot of fun! Not only because I enjoy their family so much, but for two day, I had an older sister and two older brothers. It was nice not being the oldest for a change. ; )
Anyways, I was a bit nervous about the whole competition. I hadn’t really thought about my speech for two whole months, and when I did it at Nationals, it was definitely not my best performance. But I was determined to end this speeches career without shame, so I practiced quite a bit last week. (Well, at least more than usual. ; ) It seems it paid off. For I got a blue ribbon, a Champion, and a Grand Champion. Also, something that I was definitely not expecting, I got the award of Best Actress. It was all rather shocking. I am glad that I persevered with my speech, and did my best. Even if I hadn’t won, I would have felt no shame, because I gave it my all. (I would have been disappointed, ; ) but not ashamed) Of course, the fact that I won was pretty cool as well. ; )
Well, I have got to be going. I haven’t slept real well the past few nights, and I should probably head to be early.
Good night!
