The Ignite speech and the Speech Choir

The Ignite speech and the Speech Choir is like the last competition that the English Resource Center of Asia Pacific College will be conducting. So it is more like the farewell party for the ERC Faculty members because there will be no English term that will happen this coming June, so I can feel the emotion of nostalgia on the speech given by the head of the ERC department, Ms. Eliz Reyes. Truly it must be hard for her to say goodbye to her ERC faculty because they are not just a group of professors, they are a family for each other and just like for us the ignite speech and the speech choir will be like our own farewell to our first year life in college.

Preparing for the speech choir is hard as always because we are the type of a block with no coordination with each other, we often yell during practice and sometimes get mad at each other, but I could say that preparing for the speech choir competition is more easier than the preparation we had when we joined the chants and cheers last mid-term because we somehow managed to unite with each other, though we seldom have same quarrels we just enjoyed every moment in every practices that we had.

On the day of the competition, we are intimidated the moment we saw other block’s performances especially on SOE blocks (well what will you expect from an engineer right?). 

But thank goodness, we won the third place in speech choir, again, but now we did not expect it to happen because we are so disappointed with our own performance but at least we had a great time and our representatives from Ignite Speech won as a Champion! Aren’t we just great?!. On the other hand the ECE 151 got the first place on the speech choir while the CPE 151 was declared as the champion. All of the blocks did their best, but I guess they lacked the ability of unity that’s why they lose.
