A Speech About Myself
Good morning everyone! Today, I’d like to share something about myself—my journey of self-discovery.
I’ve always been known for my curly hair that never obeys the rules! People say my loud laugh is contagious, though I used to hide it. Over time, I’ve embraced these traits—they make me me. Deep down, I’m someone who cares deeply, even if I seem quiet at first.
I never thought I’d love public speaking, but here I am! My secret talent Memorizing song lyrics in seconds. I’ve also worked hard to overcome shyness—last month, I even joined the debate club.
Nothing makes me happier than rainy days with a book (and maybe cookies). But you’ll never catch me watching horror movies—I’d rather laugh than scream!
I’ve learned that being "different" is my superpower. Like a puzzle, I’m still figuring some pieces out—and that’s okay. After all, life’s about growing, not just knowing.
Thank you!
