Speaking good.

I love speech.
Yesterday I had speech sectionals.
And as ready as I am to be done with my drama piece (haha), it reminded me how much I love speech.
It's one of those things that I forget how much I love throughout the week, preparing for my next meet or freaking out that I'm missing tech rehearsal for sectionals.
But when Saturday comes and I'm at a meet... there's something about the atmosphere of a speech meet that I love so much.
I was talking to my coach and a friend of mine on my team about how speech always seems to collide with my other extracurriculars, and I said that it seems like the adults in charge of all my other activities always seem to tell me, "I know you're involved in other things, but this has to come first."

And I said that the reason I always want to make speech a priority is that speech is the only thing that hasn't demanded to come first.

I want to put it first.
