Speech Contest Update

I forgot to mention in my last post that my school announced the winners of the speech and writing contests on Thursday and Friday of last week. My total tally was five winners of the writing contest and three winners of the speech contest. In fact, my Monday, Wednesday and Friday students swept the speech contest! They won every time slot!

I was incredibly proud of them and also, of course, proud of myself. Overall, I had more total winners than any other of the twelve or so teachers at my school. However, I can hardly take any credit since these kids put in the work and stood up in front of a room full of people and gave a speech in their second language. Regardless, I walked around like a proud father for a couple of days.
