I had never, ever taken a public speaking related class before, and I had also never done any public speaking! This was all new territory for me.
However, I love communicating with people, and I am a pretty strong writer. I tried to think of the speech as just a 5-paragraph essay. I collected the speech topics from this forum and a private forum I am a part of (I'm sure you saw the post that I put all the topics in here ---> http://www.degreeforum.net/excelsior-tho...post136709 ).
