This post is about the first time I became a guest speaker at a writing event in SM City Clark on August 27, 2011
It was far from perfect, I know. But my first talk just went fine, nonetheless.
I goofed up on a few lines, but I do hope I was able to inspire young people to write. It was my first, though I offer no excuses.
It was a golden opportunity to make a difference… I just hope I did.
Just in case you’re wondering what I’m talking about, it’s the announcement of the winners of the inter-high school short story writing contest here in Angeles City, and I was the guest speaker.
And below, is the full excerpt of my speech, just in case some of the attendees found my voice inaudible or were just too anxious for the results to be revealed, or both… and all who wants to know what I said.
