I can make this a long story, basically starting at the day a teacher (who at the time, was my director) and I getting into a fight that brought tears and yelling. But I won't. Short version: everything is fine now and I'm on speech team because the teacher that I just mentioned asked me if I was interested. So there are two categories I've been placed in: Dramatic Interpretation and Radio Speaking. Dramatic-well I'll just call it DI is a category that I've always wanted to have. I have a monologue about 8 minutes long and I pretty much act it out. This category of speaking has always been very deep and known for having dark topics. Mine, for example, is about wanting to eat an orange and craving over it because, as you probably guessed, I'm anorexic. In the monologue, I mean.
The other category is Radio Speaking. I sit in a small room with a microphone and give a radio report that i had 45 minutes to put together just before that. I'm given 5 articles-local, national, world, sports, and weather-with a commercial somewhere in between. It's not too difficult and requires no memorization, which is good.
I'm in speech camp right now and already almost memorized with my monologue! My school has been doing acceptionally well in speech so we hope to have some students go to State Finals this year. We'll see what happens :)
