SPEECH CHOIR AND IGNITE COMPETITION

The Speech Choir and Ignite Competition by the English Resource Center were held on the 21^st of April 2016 at the Asia Pacific College Auditorium. The event was an alternate performance of Ignite speeches and Speech choirs. Our block, ABMA 153, was the first to perform for the speech choir. Though we didn’t have much time to practice because of our preparation in building our floats, I believe that we did well. During our performance, I can see that some professors were having goose bumps. The audiences were listening and everyone is silently watching us. And after the performance, everyone clapped. On that moment, I felt that we’ve won the hearts of the crowd. I wasn’t never anymore as I watched some other performances including the ignite speech. Our block mate, Beatrice Baylosis, was a finalist for the ignite speech. Her topic was about: “How to survive being a fan girl”. Trice loves K – POP so much that she uses it s her topic. Her slides are even full of Korean singers and artists. Then, the time for the announcements of winners has come. Trice won as 2^nd runner up. We are really proud of this smart girl. And for the speech choir competition, our group didn’t win though some other blocks were yelling for our block name during the announcement. Also, other students who watched the competition thought that it was us who will win. Our professor, Mr. Daroy, even told us that we are the winners on his heart.
