Furthermore, I think it's also utterly unfair to point fingers at Ravi just because he spoke to Megan.
Megan Ball
Hi Joan, just wanted to say that i really appreciate the accusatory comment. I have been very lucky to receive all the support i have done so far and i'm really grateful for every single person's vote. It's a shame how it takes just one person to dampen the spirit of what i thought was a friendly competition.
Rui Jorge Octavio
Its still a friendly competition Megan, you've done really well considering your late start. Looks like its going to be a tight finish, good luck!
Megan Ball
I'm glad to hear that Rui!
Thanks very much, I had no internet when the poll opened so i've been really lucky to get enough support to catch up!
Good Luck to you too :)

hey guys,
Here is a video of me giving some words of wisdom to inspire young people to not only make the most of education, but also engage in volunteering in order to gain transferable skills and be better prepared to embark on a successful future.
Though it covers 3 topics, i wish for it to be included under the "build their career" category.
Thanks,
Rui

Hi David, this speech sounds pretty familiar to me... Have you adapted it from another famous speech?
David McNeilage
Nope. It was written in it's entirety, by myself.
joan logan
Sounds like Martin Luther King's famous speech but good adaptation for the political theme.
Richard Lowe
Just because it sounds like it, doesn't mean it is. Good speech though, David :)
For the King's Speech competition
Topic: Staying on in Education.
I've teamed it up with "pretty pictures" instead of my face- hopefully the quality is okay! Transcript and photo credits are in the details box.

Hi everyone- voting for the People’s Choice award will be closing at 5 pm on Wednesday 8th June.
Richard Lowe
I was wondering, what is happening about multiple votes in the same household? My Mum voted, as did my cousin whilst she was over. Will this be taken into account, or will the votes still be deleted?
I’m delighted to announce that I have officially been crowned the overall winner of the Inspiration speech competition! This means I get the top prize of a two week placement at Romley Davis a PR agency in London. In addition, they will be giving a copy of “The King’s Speech” on DVD, a signed copy of the film’s poster, a copy of the film’s script, a recording of my speech on DVD, a certificate... Read more
