I finished an exam today, then I saw this comic:
Oh yeh, livin’ the good life
I was just going through some old files on an old computer and I came across the speech that got me the position of Hirschfeld House Captain in grade 12.
Its cringe factor is off the scales.
First of all best wishes to Ally, Jana, Chrissie and Bee. I just want to say that I’m not really worried about the outcome of today’s speeches because I know that each of you are more than capable of fulfilling this role of house captain.
Good Afternoon Teachers, Friends… lend me your ears.
My name is Jien-Li and the reason I feel that I would make a great house captain is because I believe I have the looks, and the future of Hirschfeld house looks good.Now I thought I’d just fill you all in on the pre-historics of my leadership experience. I have previously been a house group vice-captain and house group captain and in primary school I was a part of the student council committee and believe it or not I was even a house captain in my primary school, so really, I think it’s just meant to be.
Now I’ve just come from the drawing board and I’ve got some ideas for Hirschfeld house 2006, and I’m thinking…out with the old, in with the new… I’m thinking…a new tigger mascot costume for the spirit captain, because the old one’s looking a little on the shabby side… I’m thinking…up the anti on house spirit… I’m thinking… breakfasts galore… I’m thinking. So as you can imagine I’ve got big plans for Hirschfeld house next year.
Now I have to be honest, as I was writing this speech I thought to myself, “What would I be like as Hirschfeld house captain of 2006?” And I thought, much like… an M&M…(eat M&M)… really, really, ridiculously good.
[Hand out M&Ms]
Now I’m a firm opposer of bribery, so, this is not bribery at all- this is just me… sharing the love, sharing my vision, my sweet, nutty, crunchy, crispy vision for 2006
So there you have it, I know I would make a great house captain because I believe I’m responsible, honest, kind and organised, I have visions and I’m qualified.
Thank you.
Obviously, the speech of a true leader.
