Speech

I participated on the GlenOak High School Speech and Debate Team in the event of Foreign Extemporaneous Speaking. I qualified to the 1997, 1998 & 1999 Ohio High School Speech League State Tournament. I was 5th in the Eastern Ohio National Forensics League District in 1999.

I also competed in Student Congress. I was first alternate to the National Tournement in Eastern Ohio District House B in 1998. I was also elected Best Presiding Officer at that district tournement. In 1999, I qualified to the Desert Sun National Tournament in Student Congress Senate, and was best presiding officer as well.

Many people have their own "Extemp help pages" that are very useful, just look around! Personally, I would rather spend my time helping myself improve, instead of the competition.

By competing in this event, competitors learn more than those in other events. Not only to students improve there speaking and presentation skills, they also learn about foreign affairs as well as how to think on their feet.
