Sept 14: Great accomplishments

WOW!  What a meeting  tonight!  If you were unable to attend the Afterburners meeting, you missed a treat.  The speeches were great.  Ryan Gallagher's speech, "Stranger Danger" was about people who ride the train from Ft. Worth to Dallas. He talked about the little old ladies, the children on field trips, and the funniest of all, the sleepers on the train. The handouts were cute little (4" x 5") booklets with pictures (hand drawn) that were so funny.  

 

Rose Timmons was spectacular; her speech title was "Change."  She shared three aspects of change and how a 12-year-old spoke to a world renowned group about saving the planet, the way she makes changes without spending any money, and she challenged us to make changes in our personal life. Rose took command of her audience and she made an impact in seven minutes.

 

Jodie Sanders gave an impressive speech on "Speak Greek," giving facts about the Greek alphabet, the origin of the alphabet,  and handouts with the alphabets.  She explained how we use the Greek alphabet in math and science, religion, and education.  In her conclusion she recited the alphabet from Alpha to Omega.  This was an awesome speech.
