Speeches

 This term we are doing our speeches!! I love doing our speeches because you get to stand up and persuade people that my opinion is right and that I am right. THis term my speech topic is Going For Gold In Achieving Your Goals . I am arguing that you should go for gold and achieve your goals and how you should go about it. Here is my speech:


Arthur Ashe once said

Start where you are, use what you have, do what you can,”

  We all have goals in life that we set out to achieve.

 I believe we all have the ability to achieve these life goals.

 It's just a matter of using what we were given and go for gold to achieve the best we can.

 That's where this quote resonates with me.


Start where you are. 

Starting where you are is key,

like all things in life you need a starting point.

 If you start from where you are you can understand your strengths and weaknesses

 then you can work out a mental plan as to where you need to go next to achieve your goal.


Finding the start is stopping and looking around you to find the starting track. 

It is often thought that you have to go somewhere and then you can finally begin but actually all you need to do is start right where you are and go from there. 

Start with something that is achevibal, 

something easy 

and then work your way up to bigger goals 

that will require knowledge, preservarencie and determination.


Use what you have.

 We all have things that are unique

 and those things are the reasons we are different from everyone else, 

all we have to do is embrace that we are different and use those as our superpowers to go for gold. 

Use your surroundings to help you reach your goal, 

if there is something you need,

 set a goal to get that or make do without it.


Arthur Ash became the first and remains the only African/American tennis player to win the U.S. Open and Wimbledon singles titles, (famous world tennis comp), 

He used his skills and proved just because he's different he can still go for gold and achieve his goals.

 Use your knowledge that you have now to elaborate and learn more to go for gold.

 Obviously over time you will obtain the right tools and skills you will need to go for gold.


Do what you can. 

In life to achieve goals and go for gold you can only ever do what you can,

 but you also have a voice to say

 “this is what is happening".

 You should do your absolute best in everything that you do to show that you are worth the support and value


Doing what you can can also mean helping others with their goals,

 their goals can become your goals to achieve.

 You have the power of all of your decisions and choices,

 the goals and things you take up

 and the things that you do. 

You can make change in someone

, something, or the world


All of our goals are achievable and are worth achieving

. Goals are part of life

 you are going to have to make one somewhere in your life. 

So remember whether you are smarter, 

Faster,

 Taller

 or more popular

 doesn't mean your goals are easier or harder than anyone elses to achieve

, at the end of the day make sure you go for gold.
