Thoughtfulness speech - National Honor Society
I presented this speech as a guest speaker at a National Honor Society induction. This speech deals with the topic of thoughtfulness, both in being an intentional thinker as well as considerate. This speech can be used in a classroom to inspire students and as character education. This speech can also be utilized by leaders trying to unify a team or group, by simply replacing a few words to address the appropriate crowd. I am VERY proud of this piece, and think you will love it as well!
