Speaker: Annamarie
Speech: Secret that was healed
Annamarie began her speech by describing her
experience when she was at the DMV to get her first driver’s license at the age of 18. She was asked to bring her birth certificate
and present it to them. When she reached
the window and looked at her birth certificate, she discovered that she had a
middle name. Annamarie went home and
demanded some answers from her mother as to why she was never told.
Annamarie’s mother told her she was named
after her grandmother, who had passed away at the age of 50 just before
Annamarie was born. The family was still
grieving and it was decided not to mention her middle name. Her mother began telling her stories about
her grandmother. It is important for us
to talk about those who have passed away and were close to us because they always remain
with us.
Annamarie went back to Omaha to visit her
relatives and learned many more things about her grandmother. She felt she discovered her identity. Annamarie was so inspired that when she
returned home, she was able to complete the books she was writing.
Table Topics: Suzanne led Table Topics on the topic of “Summer
time”. Everyone at the meeting was able to participate
in Table Topics.
Aditi called on her team of evaluators.
Evaluator #1: Annamarie
had an evaluation from all the members at the meeting. She was told that she had a full range of
vocal variety. She had a softer voice during some of her speech, which provided a good contrast. Annamarie gave excellent gestures and her
story gave us vivid visual images that were very effective.
The speech was well organized and she had good eye contact with the audience. Annamarie made her grandmother come alive for us. The pacing across the stage made it a bit distracting at times, but she has really improved in this area. Annamarie was so much “softer” today. “It was the best speech that we have heard from you.” She ended her speech by giving us her full name and said how proud she was to have this name. This was a great ending for her story.
