Marcella will attend her 3rd speech meet of the season this Saturday! She's all Varsity this year. She has won JV State 2 years in a row for Radio and she also placed well in her other categories the last 2 years. She breaks Varsity all the time so this is good! This year she adds Oratory along with Radio. Her Oratory speech is based on positive thinking. I have yet to hear her do this one. I plan on taking video of her doing both so she can see what she looks like and sounds like. We are really hoping she makes it to compete at the Varsity state meet this year. She came so very close last year, I think missing it by just one place. So far she's placed 4th and 2nd on Radio. And broke varsity for Oratory but didn't place her first time at it. This weekend she will be at Belleville East School. Wish I could be a fly on the wall.
Debating on sending her to Virginia next summer to attend the Washington Journalism and Media Conference as she was nominated as a National Youth Correspondent, representing Illinois and Granite City High School. She is to meet with prominent journalists, leaders in the media, CEO's of the nation's top media companies, national media figures, and distinguished scholars. Also attend an inspiring private talk with TODAY show host Hoda Kotb. :) Pretty cool right? I've always wanted to go see that part of the country so I'm wanting Matt and I to take a road trip at this time so she could attend this. It lasts for 6 days. Will let you know what happens with that.
