Today I had some students that wanted to get pictures with me. Cindy came over to bring some friends to meet me and then tonight Chuck and I were two of four judges for an English Competition. The other two judges were Darren and Jennifer teachers with EIE. The competition included an original speech, an excerpt from a speech given by someone else and a Q&A from the judges. Two of the contestants got flustered and walked off stage at questions from the judges but the others fielded the questions well. A young woman and a young man were the big winners of the night both gave good speeches and were entertaining to watch. Barack Obama seemed to be the favorite speech giver to imitate with Hilary Clinton coming in a close second. I was surprised to not hear more Steve Jobs speeches. Our friend Amos was also there tonight to cheer on a student of his.
