My speech

The project presentation was so fun to do and I had my speech memorized perfectly. I started off with a speech that I wasn't very proud of. I kept wanting to change it but didn't know how. When I wrote my notecards, I kept coming up with more ideas to write. So I finally changed my speech to something that I am very proud of and I used it in the presentation. Here it is:

            My project is based on my hobby, something I love, which is guitar. My original project was a kindness project. I changed it because I felt as if I couldn’t do much with that certain project. Since I love guitar and am very passionate about it, I decided to do my project on it. I learned a lot throughout this whole project. I accomplished a lot as well and had fun doing it.

My first goal was to do random acts of kindness for my original project, since it was a kindness project. Another goal was to learn how to tune my guitar, as well as learn how to play bar chords. There is nothing special about bar chords, really. In fact, they sound about the same as regular chords. The only difference is that bar chords have fuller sounds.

I accomplished my goal of learning how to tune my guitar. It took a lot of searching and watching YouTube videos to figure it out. Finally online, I found a recommendation of an app called Guitar Tuner. I downloaded it and found it really useful. My next accomplishment was for my original project. Since it was a kindness project, my goal was to do random acts of kindness. If you think about it, you do random acts of kindness everyday in your life. From complimenting someone to helping them when they need it, they are all random acts of kindness. Therefore, I accomplish my goal every day. One thing I need to accomplish is bar chords. I intend to learn it even after this project is over.

That brings me to my failures. Even though this project was fun, there were still challenges along the way. A challenge with my guitar project is that I couldn’t learn bar chords. A challenge with my original project is that I couldn’t do many things with it and I couldn’t reach some goals.

Despite not completely achieving my goals, I enjoyed both projects because I got to do my hobby and something I love and believe in. I will try to accomplish my goals after this project is over. Hopefully, I will accomplish them. 20% time taught me that I should do more things with my time. It also taught me that me that if you set a goal, you can achieve it. Just like when I set my goals, I achieved the ones I spent the most time in. Honestly, I didn’t put that much time into learning bar chords, but did put time into learning to tune my guitar. Therefore, if you set a goal and spend your time trying to achieve it, you will.
