My Senior Speech

A while ago we had a team banquet for our prosperous 2014 water polo fall season. One tradition we have for every banquet is for all the seniors to give a speech, usually thanking the parents, coaches, family, ect. I wasn't very excited about giving my speech, and I was nervous about getting in front of all the parents, coaches, and my teammates. For those of you who don't know me, I like to make people laugh. I get an extreme satisfaction out of getting someone to smile and chuckle over a joke or funny story. So that was my idea for my speech. I am not that much of a "charismatic" person, but I can try to be sometimes. For some reason, my speech was exceptionally long. To put things into perspective, the next longest speech to mine was only five minutes long. One thing to mention is that Lukas Sheckherd had just uttered his speech before me. He is not a very good speaker. Sorry Lukas. Another thing to mention is that some of the things I talk about are slightly strange. If you play sports and are on a team with friends who like to "mess" with you, you know what I'm talking about. I hope you enjoy my speech.
