A Speech About Myself
Hello everyone! I'm excited to share how I've discovered more about myself. My self-perception has changed a lot recently, and I'd like to tell you about the real me.
I've noticed both physical and personal changes. I've grown taller, and my hairstyle is different now. My interests have expanded too - I used to only like video games, but now I enjoy drawing and basketball. Most importantly, I've become more confident. While I'm still shy sometimes, I can now speak up in class and make new friends more easily.
Through these changes, I've learned that growing up means constantly discovering new things about yourself. I'm proud of who I'm becoming, and I'm excited to keep learning more about myself in the future.

Review
Let’s look back at the journey of self-exploring.
Everyone has something special and different — that is what’s interesting.
Nothing is impossible as long as you try and stick to it.
… we already have the qualities, and we just need to find them.
