Piece of Mine

This was the speech I had when our English Teacher ask us to make a speech out of the topic "What does a child like me have to do in building a solid family?" I recite this piece in our speech lab in front of my classmates and of course my teacher. I was really nevous when I start reciting but even though I had that nevousness with me I was able to delievered the piece well. Infact, I had a good feedback after all. Haha!

Building a Solid Family

What does an innocent child has to do in building a solid family? I am just a simple kid who did nothing, but pisses my sister off, text, sleep, eat and do anything I see fit. I did what I thought was right, which seemed like a big mistake to others. I thought I was on the right track. Well, if it wasn’t my mom who reprimanded me everyday and pointed out my mistakes. The sermons, debates and daily drama-I hated them. But only now have I realized that these daily debates showed that my mom loved me and wants to place me on the right path that teasing my sister made me somehow relate to her in some way. That we children are commissioned as potential ice breakers in fight and as the presiding judge whenever our parents or sibling bicker over a small (most of the time) nonsensical matters.

I found out that with this simple fuss, I saw myself worth. It’s just then that, I realized that a simple Charmaine G. dela Paz, who used to be jolly and carefree high school student, plays a vital role in developing harmonious relationship between the members of the family leading to an indestructible family bond.
