Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not…..� Thomas Henry Huxley

ScienceKid returned from his speech competition and reported receiving an EXCELLENT rating in Impromptu.   Nice job. (And don’t tell him, but I would not have wanted to give an impromptu speech on some topic)

He said the low point was when 180 people in the cafeteria sang Happy Birthday to him.  How many folks have that many people sing Happy Birthday to you?   What a memory he will have!   And although he might not appreciate it today, or wish to acknowledge how special that was, I think he thought it was grand.
