Popular Post Lolly Posted April 3, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) Her teachers talked her into entering the TN Area (TN and parts of KY) Japanese speech contest held at Vanderbilt. (Speeches written and given in Japanese with a question session after it.) About 8 colleges participate. She has been worried sick over it for the last two months. In fact, she has literally been sick for the last month (whole 'nother situation, but she is now having GI surgery on Thursday to hopefully help). Dh and I went to watch the big event with hopes that she would be able to get through without any big issues. With a slight hope that she would make the required time limit of 4 minutes (her longest so far had been 4 min 2 seconds...). And, she was spectacular! Absolutely nailed it. 4.5 minutes. Unbelievable expression and poise. Answered the questions without pausing at all (the only one to do that/actually one of the few who actually answered the questions that were asked according to her teachers/I couldn't understand a word of it, of course.). And, she won her division (She is intermediate/the advanced division is beyond the classes colleges teach)!!!! Nice prizes including $200 which she was overjoyed to receive. She said the stress was all worth it! And, she is very pleased because her school also placed first. Beat out Vanderbilt and UTk... Nice stuff there. She will have happy teachers!
