NYC Youth Speech Contest

For those of you that are considering writing a speech for the Youth Speech Contest or know some one who is, here are some things to consider as you write.

1. Write from your own perspective, you have a unique story to tell!
   
2. Incorporate the theme “More than Meets the Eye”
   1. Think about…
      1. how you are more than meets the eye
         
      2. how experiences in your life have been more than meets the eye
         
      3. how others in your life have been more than meets the eye
   2. Explore…
      1. what your own distinct “earthen vessel” or “pottery” looks like
         
      2. the treasure that is inside of you that people cannot necessarily see
3. Do not be afraid to show vulnerability by sharing your story, God will speak through that vulnerability.
