4H Public Speaking

My oldest daughter placed second in regionals today so were off to Assinaboia the end of the month for provincial finals-right in BMR's backyard. I was lucky enough to sit through 36 speeches today and they were all very good. A young guy telling of his near death experience with a mother hen pretty much stole the show though.

Northern Rancher, had two go to finals in the Province, the oldest is now an auctioneer, and my youngest did it on choices and won the Province and is now a teacher.

Public speaking is a gift that one can use to their grave. Even heard semen pimps need it the odd time.

Megan's won the province once before-the subject-'Dad's Wrecks' lol. I'm pretty sure she's not going to be an auctioneer or a semen pimp-teacher not out of the question-had a 94 average this report card lol.

Your not allowed to show your calf up here if ytou don't do your 4H speech-I think my kids have gotten as much or more out of thast aspect of 4H than they have the showring. Public speaking definately has more applications in real life.

The same thing here,our kids can't show thier cattle without the public speaking first. Ranchy you would be surprised how well Al would do,the public speaking was the best thing for our daughter shes painfully shy but had to do the public speaking,always placed in the top three.It will get a person way further then the showing will. Get it started in your area its well worth it. The kids AMAZE a parent with the topics they come up with.Seriously I loved the public speaking day :D

Congrates and goodluck to your daughter NR :)

I don't think your quite as shy as you think if you already did it twice lol. I wish I had videos of all the speeches I've heard over the years-some pretty eloquent kids out there.
