This competition aims to develop the public speaking skills of high school students and to overcome their fear of public speaking. This event was really helpful, to me and to the students, because somehow we were inspired, the fact that public speaking sounds scary, its actually something more than that. people tend to think public speaking is a waste of time, but no, the talent of publicly speaking is actually so much more.
You get to voice out your opinions, become an advocate, tell what is right from what is wrong. You also learn to become confident, it raises your self esteem which is good, because not all people have this. Public speaking becomes an edge in your life because this is not just some talent, it is an honor to speak and represent what you want in front of a crowd or probably an audience.
There was this certain speaker that I really admired the most. I think she was from Pasay Science High School, she knew that she was speaking in public yet she wasn't afraid to share her own life experiences. She told us about wanting to end her life - I was shocked because for me, as much as I know what it feels to have so much problems, I think suicide is of the most stupid things any person could do because you let your problems take you away - she told us about her family as well, i think it was because they weren't buying her the things she wanted. But honestly, I applaud this girl because she was able to face all of it. as hard as it seems, we can't have every thing that we want. We have to be thankful and contented for what we have right now, and that's something worth living for. I can't really imagine what's she's been through but she stayed strong. One of the moral lessons we can get from her is that there is nothing more precious than time. we should continue living, a quote I remember is "It's just a bad day, and not a bad life" we humans are made to move forward, not going back to the past, just looking back. We all for a fact, at some point in our lives, wished that time would just stop. But, we can't keep living in the moment, there are far more greater things that await us. Our journey as high school or college students is just the start of who we are going to be in the future, the time we have now is the most important and precious thing because anything can happen. We also should be thankful for what we have, it's all our parents probably had. Just believe and keep the faith, for God will guide you and he will never give us problems that we cant solve.
