Found another one😭😭This one was a script for a speech competition. Although it was only an internal competition and I didn't win any prize, but I learned a lot from joining that activity. I got to see how creative my friends and seniors were to convey their message. One of them played cello to immerse the audience more in the speech. One of them even brought a pot of plant to give the audience the visualization they mentioned in the speech.
So hello dear me, please remember that not everything you do always mean to reach the ultimate goal. Sometimes, you still need to go through those times just to learn one thing or two as part of your growth as a human✨
Oh, in this competition, for the first time, I experienced to counter my own message in the speech regarding to respect other people while they are speaking by not playing smartphone. Unfortunately, after my turn to give the speech had passed, I had to discuss something for PTB event with my friend through Line in the middle of other participant's turn. I was very sad since I knew I shouldn't have done that, but the discussion was really really important too. So yeah...

estimated time to finish the speech : 5 minutes
Hi! I am a student of SMA Negeri 1 Yogyakarta. Here, in this opportunity, I’d like to share my wishes for this world. Please enjoy and listen to it!
#WISH 1: STUDENTS TO BE MORE RESPECTFUL WITH TEACHERS
I always find my friends and I playing smartphone during the class when the teachers explain the materials in front of the classroom. We are brave enough to play the smartphone clearly on the table. I was very shocked when I faced this situation for the first time, when I hadn’t had a smartphone yet. But, as time goes by, I can’t say playing smartphone during the class is 100 % wrong. We do that activity because we have reasons, like doing an online discussion.
Until one day, my teacher got angry in the classroom. Then I thought, how would they feel when they are working hard to explain something in the classroom, meanwhile the students are busy playing with their smartphones at the same time. It really makes you sad when there is no one paying attention for you while you’re standing in the front. So, let’s be more respectful to our teachers from now on. You do have another important jobs besides of studying. But, don’t you think that the teachers also have other problems besides teaching? Just manage your time, when to study and when to do other works. Because you won’t be respected unless you respect others.
skipped wish #2 as I feel it is too controversial to be shared in public when I reread it now :)
#WISH 3: NO SELFISH PEOPLE IN THE WORLD
Everyone in this world wants to achieve their glory for sure. But, if the way they reach it makes them become selfish, then it’s absolutely a problem. I always feel like I want to punch someone on the bus when he doesn’t want to move backward so that more people can get in the bus. Can’t they care about others who also want to arrive home fast? Another example of being selfish is when there are a lot of my friends who live in the city who don’t want to try using public transportation. They said that public buses are too hot and take too much time for them to arrive at home compared to being picked up by a private transportation. Why don’t they think that if more students are being picked up then the roads will be more crowded. I used to take public buses when I was in junior high school. And it was fun!
Everyone wants to feel comfortable, like they don’t have to struggle to get something. But, isn’t it impossible to get something more precious if you never sacrifice anything? Try to understand the others step by step. This world will come to its end if the people who live on it don’t think about each other. So, let’s live in this world by understanding each other in the frame of harmony.
Notes from Miss Julia Xia
Don’t forget to summarize your three wishes too! By the time you get to the end of your speech, the audience might have forgotten your first wish, so you have to remind them about all of your wishes!
