I felt everyone brought in very unique objects. Most of the objects reflected the bond between them and a family member or a role model they adored. All objects held deep sentimental value and helped through a tough time in every speakers life, where they faced adversity. There were a lot of emotional speeches and for me that was an eye opener. There were some speeches that I heard that I felt I couldn’t match and the standard was set very high, especially when it was my turn to present. However, hearing everyone’s story (speech) definitely helped me see another side of them as well as having a greater respect for them.
