Yesterday, October 1, I presented my talumpati. And today, I feel so relieved that I could now sleep without worrying so much. Want to know how it went? Well, it went great. I believe that I did my best and that I was able to express myself clearly just enough for my classmates to understand what I was talking about. Although, my hands were shaking a lot before I started. Good thing I drank water to calm me down. Well, I hope that I'll get a good grade.
Anyway, if you're wondering what it was about, then here goes:
Ummm, it's basically about the "pag-asa ng bayan". For so long, we always said that our future lies in the hands of the children. But in my oration, I was like saying, "..but is it really true?..that our future lies in the hands of children?"... Here's a line in my oration giving this thought: "Paano nga ba nating masasabing ang kabataan ang siyang pag-asa ng bayan? Na sa simula't simula pa lang ay nakalimutan na silang imulat at hubugin ng kanilang pamilya sa kabutihang asal." In the later part of my talumpati, I pointed out that it should be the citizens of our country who shall be diligent enough to form children that are loyal, brave, respectful and can be trusted. And of course, I also included God in my talumpati.. that we should have faith in him always. And I ended my speech with this: "Kaya ikaw, bata ka man o matanda, simulan mo na ang pagkikilos para sa ating ikauunlad. Dahil alam ko at alam nating lahat na ang totoong pag-asa ng bayan ay ang bawat isa sa atin. Kaya magkaisa na tayong lahat dahil sa pagkakaisa ay may malaking pag-asa."
So what do you think... Now, I'm waiting for the product of my effort: my grade... Good luck to me and to my classmates..XD
