JACK PETCHEY- SPEAK OUT CHALLENGE The Jack Petchey Speak Out Challenge regional final was hosted by Waldegrave School on Thursday, 13th of March. Everyone taking part in the event was amazing, from Israel Oladunjoye’s long speech to Isabel Edwards’ short concise yet touching presentation. For me, one speech really took the spotlight and shone out for the simple topic chosen: reading. She had said that her reason for choosing this was simply because she loves to read. During her two minute long speech she highlighted her key message: that people who genuinely love to read don’t read for the aesthetic or to gain supposed intelligence,, people read because they love to read and they need a way to escape reality, not because they are depressed or sad, just simply because they like it and you need an outlet. Her unique choice of topic helped her achieve second place and was loved by the audience. Her speech was full of jokes yet had a sense of importance and most importantly she didn’t rush herself while speaking, which all made an important impact towards the audience.
