Middle School Speech Contest

Spencer just competed in a speech competition through his school theater class. He had to compete in two different events. He decided on Duet Acting, in which he did a 5-10 minute scene with a friend of his, and Impromptu, where he had to argue his point of view on a particular topic for up to 5 minutes (given just one minute to prepare). He had practice before and after school for weeks in preparation for this competition, so it was a big time commitment. I was able to go and watch him compete, and boy was that entertaining! He and Eric did a great job on their Duet Acting scene, and they ended up winning a second place ribbon. He was so thrilled to have them call his name as a winner!!! The other highlight of the day was when his middle school was awarded the giant trophy as the first place school in the competition. It was a very exciting moment, and it was really fun to watch all these kids celebrate their victory. And Spencer was right in the middle of it! I was really proud of him for being brave enough to do this! Way to go Spence!
