TOPIC: RECOGNIZING INFORMATION FROM CONTEXTUALIZED SPEECH

OBJECTIVES:

At the end of this module, you are expected to:


a. use information from speeches that can be used in everyday life;
b. promote the interest and sense of responsibility in validating the quality of
information needed in academic and personal use by identifying the types of
speech according to purpose; and
c. develop the abilities to organize information and construct it into a text.

PRE TEST
We have different strengths and weaknesses. Sometimes, those weaknesses can make
us feel worthless. But rediscovering and recreating yourself can transform you into an
extraordinary individual.

The speech you are about to read will help you reflect your self-worth.

Do you know who you are? When you look at yourself in the mirror, what do
you see? The best version of yourself? A façade? A blank picture of yourself? Or you
have got amnesia? Or where you can no longer feel your inner self? That’s the worst
feeling one could ever have and comparable to dark night. What you see in the mirror is
exactly what you see, what you get and what you are. Again, the question is who you
are? This poses you to rediscover who you truly are and how to reveal, redefine, and
reactivate yourself again.

To turn to your original condition, every time you broke your inner senses,
every time you struck by your fears, every time you lost courage and hope and every
time you failed. Blindfolded with all the shams and drudgeries in life, we are curtailed to
bring out the best in us. The challenge is there all the time, put your blindfolded off,
for this is just test of life.

Remembering and believing who we are, is just the start of living life to the
fullest-again this is the first step. Next is to live the truth. You are created for a
purpose thus loved by God. With this, you will experience healing inside and that
your completeness through Him will then radiate love and joy to others too. No
philosophers, even the best ones can give us the best ways to overcome your personal
challenges. It is just our relationship with God. The best system is prayer. When
you pray, you talk to God and your journey with Him will take place. It is our pause
from time to time that we will be refreshed of something new, something better, a
fresh start, a clean state, and a new journey to begin again. We can choose
differently! Remember, what matters most is not how others see you, but how you
truly see yourself. Who are you when you are all alone? When no one is watching?
How do you see yourself determines how you allow people to treat you? How you see
yourself dictates what you expect from others, from life, from God.

Choose today to be the greatest version of yourself. Do not forget to wear the
best make-up SMILE, and the world will smile at you.

DREAMS DO COME TRUE


(an excerpt)

It is a matter of record that I only had traditional formal schooling until


Secondary School, Grade 12. It was only recently that I reached University level
through the alternative education program. We were dirt poor. I had to work since
the age of five; to help my mother feed my three siblings and me. Many days, I was
lucky to have one full meal. On days when we had no food, I would drink lots of water
just to fill my stomach. But my mind and spirit were never hungry. I read anything I
could get my hands on.

I even read the newspaper that my lunch or dinner came wrapped in. I read
signs everywhere, even on moving vehicles. I learned measurements and weights by
constantly reading the rates and tariffs at the warehouses where I worked as a
stevedore, a docker in your parlance…

And for me, the morning did come. Warm, bright, and simply amazing - a
lesson in what can be achieved if you have determination … if you ignore the odds
against you …and as you are taught here at this magnificent institution never, ever
quit. Think of David and Goliath. Look at me. I am not big, and I never had five
smooth stones to throw at any obstacle, but determination is a power tool. I won a
lot of fights.
