General Comments

You excelled at
It was beautifully constructed emotional speech, which conveyed the purpose of family bonds.

The audience engagement of asking questions was well through.

Usage of hand gestures, was appropriate.

The storytelling skills were on point.

You may need to work on:

Please keep an eye on timing as you went overboard.

At times you were looking down, and it gave me the opinion that it was being read from a sheet.

Rehearse and prepare very well, for your next presentation.

The eye contact with the audience was very minimal, please work improving it.
