Last November 27, 2015, The Asia Pacific College invited 10
high school students to join the Inter High School Public Speaking Competition
with the APC Speaks as the main organizer for the said event. The mechanics of
this competition is to make a speech that has a relation with the theme “The
Best of Times or Worst of Times. It’s the only time we’ve got”. Each speaker
presented a speech that has something to do with their own life experiences or
perhaps a life-and-death-situation. After delivering their speech, they are
given some question from the judges that they should answer.
Another speaker delivered a some sort of poetry that has connection with the
theme although I find myself confused at some point since he delivered too fast
and he even forgot some of the lines which earned a chuckle for some audience.
As for my favourite, It was the last speaker which I have chosen. Her speech
was really intense since she talked about her dysfunctional family, her fears
for her parents and sibling, and her life. She even talked about committing
suicide since she couldn’t bear the pain but she stop and think of the
consequences after that. Her speech was really inspiring even though I do not
have a dysfunctional family I could empathize with her problems.
After all the
speeches the APC Speaks presented a game which is called Speed Speech. A game
where you should give a speech about the topic assign to you. For example, your
first topic is juice you have to tell us about juice and 15 seconds later the
emcee would give another topic which is not really related to the first topic
which i why this game was a fun to all of us since we chuckled and laughed at
some players.
Overall, the program was a success and it was a fun and a
good learning experience.
