Notes:
Your topic was very elegantly introduced and explained. Its such a simple idea, but
one which can be revolutionary for people who forget the benefits of smiling. You truly
sounded like a TED speaker in your talk. If you had 3-4 PowerPoint slides, I think your
complicated points could become clearer. For example, show 300 chocolate bars next
to a smiling face, or show a graph with the baseball card statistics. Overall, however, I
really liked how natural your language was. It was an inspired topic, and you spoke
with genuine engagement. I would only hope you could gain smoother delivery by
practicing a few more times. My advice is to keep this speech, and improve it a bit. You
could use it in speech competitions. Youve really done a great job, and you should
consider more public speaking in the future. You have a giftdont hide it!
