Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Today my topic is The time when I rediscovered myself.

“Why are you doing this? Don’t you know it’s a total waste of time?” That’s what my mom yelled when she found out that I had signed up for an English story-telling competition.

She was right. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if my mother got furious at me as I was entering Grade Six, faced with the biggest challenge yet to come—the examination to enter my dream junior high school.

But that’s not all to it. Now please take a good look at the thirteen-year-old me, and imagine what I was like when I was eleven. Here are the key words: nervous, timid, tongue-tied when facing strangers, and essentially a bookworm. These signs looked fatal to my mother, and possibly to you, too; she thought that I could be anything but a good public speaker.

Well, I said no to my English teacher at first, because I was afraid. But he told me to tell a story I love to everyone? He also promised me that the judges were not frightening at all; just think of them as carrots and cabbages in a vegetable patch.

The eleven-year-old me was persuaded by my teacher’s words. So I chose to endure my mother’s ranting for an entire hour, then raised my head bravely and pleaded: “Mom, please. I just want to try.”

My mother only sighed. I took that as her permission, and started working with my teacher day and night to practice. On the day of the competition, I went on the stage for the very first time in my life; I could feel the nervousness threatening to bring me down, and I felt cheated by my teacher: it was impossible to picture the judges as mere carrots and cabbages. But I went on. Although I only got the third prize at that time, on that stage I stayed ever since, even to this very moment. It was on this very stage that I rediscovered myself.

I should thank my teacher and my mother for leading me on to this stage. Little did I know then that this would one day lead the shy little ten-year-old me into a wonderland; it led me to meet all of you here today. I can tell you from the bottom of my heart that it isn’t so terrifying to venture into the unknown at all; all you need is a little courage and determination. If you never step out, how can you ever expect to rediscover the real you? See what the stage has shown me, where it has led me, and bravely take your first step.

初中班长就职演讲稿范文

很高兴，也很荣幸，我当选为一年十一班的班长!我一定要付出十分的努力，树起十分的信心，唤醒我的实力!在其位，谋其职!既然我做了班长，就要一心一意为大家着想，全心全意和大家一起共铸十一班的辉煌!虽然我和同学们相处的时间不长，我对班级的情况还是比较了解的!同学们都很聪明，但这并不代表真正的聪明!真正聪明的人绝对不会虚度时光，也绝对不会拿自己的前程开玩笑!既然咱班曾经第一，证明我们是有实力的，希望大家在今后的日子里，奋勇争先，只拿第一!我也一定会尽我所能来领导大家迈开步伐，走几明天，走向高考，打造优秀的班级!

在位期间，我希望能够和同学们友好相处，搞好关系，密切合作!在学习上，我们是对手，在生活中，我们是朋友;在教室里，我是你们的监督者，你们也是我的监督者，古人云："知错能改，善莫大焉!"，"人非圣贤，孰能无过!"希望我有错误时，大家不会把它记在心里，而是向我提出来，虽然我不是最好的人，但我希望我自己更好，更优秀，为大家做一个好榜样!

我这个人责任心很强，在初中当了三年班长。嘴比较损，说话容易得罪人，但我不怕得罪人!因为在得罪你的同时，我拯救了自己的良知，尽到了自己的责任!我会更加心安理得!对得起同学们的选票，对得起千老师的信任，我就满足了!

在这里，我想阐述一下我对同学处对象的看法!处对象和学习没有直接的关系，但是，冥冥之中就有着千丝万缕的联系!如果你处了对象，我想问你，上课的时候你会不会想她?如果你没有想她，你是智者，学习之外，自娱自乐，也不是坏事!但是，事实告诉我们，这样的人并不存在!上课的时候，如果你想到了他(她)，耽误了学习，你是愚者，自愚自勒!，这就是两者的关系!

下面，我想要说，做人要有理想，理想能让我们在枯燥乏味的学习中提供用之不竭的燃料，促进我们前进，理想，是一切精神财富的源泉!没有理想的人如同行尸走肉;没有理想的人，就好比失去方向的船只;没有理想的人，就好比失去了发动机的四驱车，永远是最后一个!我的理想是考国防科技大学，虽然遥

远，但又很近，只要我努力拼搏，就一定会成功!希望大家树立一个远大的理想和目标，为自己的学习打劲儿!

我的成绩在班级是比较靠前的，我会在学习上尽力帮助每一位同学，带动大家，共同进步!我不能对自己加以评论，有资格评论我的只有各位同学和班主任老师!我一定会拿出自己的业绩说话!最好，我希望同学们能对我的工作给予积极的配合，让我们齐心协力，密切合作，共同迎接学习的挑战，乘风破浪，走几成功!
