SOM PUBLIC SPEAKING COMPETITION

Last monday, a contest was held for SOM students. It is the public speaking competition for freshmen students. Every block should have 6 representatives each. Every one of us did a persuasive speech in our public speaking class to see who are the six best speakers in every block. 

Our representatives practice and try their very best to deliver their speeches perfectly. Even if they are not competing yet, i'm already proud of my block mates because they are so brave in facing everyone's  fear which is public speaking. 

On that day of the contest, they are grouped into 3 groups with 9 participants and then in that 9 participants, 3 of them will be part of the final round which is being held in our auditorium. When they are delivering their speeches in the discussions rooms, the remaining students, which i'm part of, played games while waiting. We played speed speech which our representative won. We also played this kind of game that every block should sing many christmas songs. A block will lose if  they repeat other block's christmas song and if they run out of christmas songs. The game was fun and it became a lot more fun because we won. 

 After that, the host announce the contestants that will be part of the final round. Luckily, two of our representatives entered the final round. They deliver their speeches in the stage with us watching. The winners will be announced the next day along with the speech choir and ignite speech competition.

Jan Michael mil was one of our representative who made it to the final round .
