2019 Speeches (What is courage What is bravery?)

(What is courage What is bravery?)

We have had our speeches now and It was quite nerve-racking for most of us.

Our topic was "What is courage, What is Bravery?". It didn't take me that long to write my speech this year maybe it's because I'm older so my writing skills as levelled up? 

                                               I hope you like my speech!

Title:

What is Courage/Bravery?

By: Isabella 

Introduction, Non Sensible way example: 

Hi, My name is Isabella and what I’m talking about today is What is Courage, What is Bravery? Let’s First talk about non-sensible Courage/Bravery and then the sensible ways. These statements in your opinion could be different or you could disagree to agree with me. What's a non-sensible way to show bravery? In my imagination, I straight away think of someone who wants to show how they are brave or face their fears, but not in a safe sensible way. Imagine what might happen next? Maybe they try to Bungee jump without a cord (Whisper: Can you see the problem here) -Pause- That was just an example I thought off the top of my head, But I’m sure you could think of some examples yourself.

Sensible ways example: 

Moving onto the sensible way of showing Courage/bravery. Here’s an example from my own life. Have you ever heard of skyline Rotorua? In Rotorua? And after the big Zipline, there is a platform where you choose to go down the stairs or go down with an almost bungee jump backwards experience? Well, I wanted to face my fears! I was the first and youngest person to do it in my family and there were 4 of us. But proving I could do it my mum than jumped then my sister and then auntie. But it was a brave step for me, Just imagine being connected to a cord walking on a thin plank Backwards Not even facing forwards! And just jumping off. Well before I did that I learnt how to get to the ground safely, of course, I wouldn't do that If I didn’t know, that would be too risky. 

Conclusion, Why do people Face their fears or have courage?: 

What would it feel like to have nobody facing their fears or having courage? Well, I know a way to get you in a feel without people not facing their fears. In your mind Imagine a dark room it might feel like a tight dark box, well it’s because nobody invented lights yet because they did not face their fears! Just like with nearly every overly used appliance. Nothing has been made. Courage helps you to stand out, do things you never thought you could do and probably lots more you can think of. But everything has its downs, with using courage you can get butterflies you can faint you can get sick just from Facing your fears in a way that can seem really scary but harmless, just like saying this speech it’s hard to get up in front of people and speak, and don’t forget to write the actual thing.

Ending, Rapping it up: 

That now sadly concludes my speech I hope you learned something and I hope you have had a good day. I hope one day this speech can help me in public speaking in the future because a lot of the time people are missing that key feature. What would life be if we had 

no courage to attempt anything? -Vincent Van Gogh.

2019 Speeches - Research 

We got speeches coming really soon and we have been looking at speeches from famous people. The main people we are looking at are Martin Luther King Jr. We are learning this so when we do our speech we have a Big Idea of how we present it and how we write it. I did all this work with Isla because we had to go into partners.

One of the people who were going on monday needed more time so I decided to volunteer to fill in for them, I was really nervous because I'm shy speaking by myself the only one.

Here are the words

Hi I’m Isabella. The question today is what can I do to contribute to the world? I think the first thing to do is to make a choice whether I will contribute in a good way or a bad way. After choosing to make a positive contribution, the next question to ask is what will my contribution look like?

There are a lot of problems in this world.

Many are very hard to fix and it is easy to feel like we can’t make a positive difference. It can feel easier to throw our hands up and decide it’s too hard, there’s nothing we can do, and to give up.

My mother told me of a phrase used in many different movements: Think globally, act locally. This means that if we want to make the world a better place, we all have the power to make these changes if we first start with ourselves. So, I’m going to focus on one problem that I know I can help with: how us humans connect and

support each other to make this world a better place. The think globally, act locally idea means that I need to do all I can to build my relationships with other kids, my teachers, my family, my community, and even with my pets. My aim is to spread good energy through the values of caring, kindness, respect for the differences

between us, and understanding. This also means that I have a responsibility to do the right thing by standing up for myself and others against bullying which can be hard to do. When there’s someone new, it’s important that I am friendly and welcoming and I help to show them round.

It can be as little as smiling and saying hi to someone, it’s as easy as that! Or giving a hug. Research has shown that a deep, heart-to-heart hug is a type of therapy and helps to heal sickness, and relieve loneliness, depression, anxiety, and stress.

Apparently we need four hugs a day for survival, eight hugs a day for maintenance, and 12 hugs a day for growth. Imagine what might be achieved if we all committed to giving out tons of hugs a day? We might never have another war again!

Perhaps a little unrealistic but my point is, it doesn’t take much effort to do a lot of good or to change someone’s life for the better.

Thank you.
