Tropicana Speech

The Tropicana Speech is something each 5th grader here is required to participate in. They have to prepare a speech and then give it in front of their classmates. I remember spending hours with Tucker making sure he met the time requirement. Sailor not only picked her topic and wrote the speech with no help, she never let Hank or myself work with her or help her. So of course she would be the one to get first place for her class! She chose to do her speech on gun control and why we need guns. Her daddy might have been just a little proud. She then went on a school wide competition and although she didn't place in that one, we are sure proud of her.
