As you can tell by the look on my face as I leave the stage, this speech was a real let down for me. I learned in this speech the importance of rehearsing and of not expecting responses or any other external input that you have no control over. Overall I had too much to say and not enough time to say it. The speech was unstructured and it felt like a rant without a destination. I will be sure to practice my speech at least twice, develop a solid structure, and aim for the 5 minute mark as opposed to the 7 minute mark in future speeches.
