Yesterday the whole of Ahipara school had to go to the Te Rarawa rugby clubrooms to watch everyone say their speeches. My favorite speech was Willas it was about her dad. It was very hot in there, and I was very nervous. I had to present my speech about why I think that animals should be allowed in schools to the whole school. When I presented mine I was nervous at the start but once I got reading, all my nerves were gone. When I finished, the year 8ts completed their speeches and then the audience had to vote out of everyone who competed in the speeches and Milan won. She also won out of all the year 7s. There were only 2-year sevens and they were me and Milan. I was a bit upset when I found out that she had won BOTH and I didn’t win any but I was really happy for her in the end.
