Miss Sleepy One...\n\nWhile I cannot give a complete dissertation, maybe an idea such as how important tonal inflection and facial expression is for communication vs. just the printed word; where these characteristics need to be assumed, or the sentence constructed well enough for them to be "understood".\n\nThat is why it is difficult for some to deceive the sighted, easier to fool the blind that can hear, easier to fool the deaf and blind... (The ones that can read Braille) and the written word can deceive most of all.\n\nJust remember, you will need 100 - 150 words per minute depending on your speed of speech.

Definitely try to include a little humor.  \n\nThe poem The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost might be useful to you - it can give all kinds of ideas for your speech.  You could talk about following dreams and stars, even when it is not the most usual or popular road to follow.\n\nTHE ROAD NOT TAKEN\nTwo roads diverged in a yellow wood,\nAnd sorry I could not travel both\nAnd be one traveler, long I stood\nAnd looked down one as far as I could\nTo where it bent in the undergrowth;\nThen took the other, as just as fair,\nAnd having perhaps the better claim,\nBecause it was grassy and wanted wear;\nThough as for that the passing there\nHad worn them really about the same,\nAnd both that morning equally lay\nIn leaves no step had trodden black.\nOh, I kept the first for another day!\nYet knowing how way leads on to way,\nI doubted if I should ever come back.\nI shall be telling this with a sigh\nSomewhere ages and ages hence:\nTwo roads diverged in a wood, and I-\nI took the one less traveled by,\nAnd that has made all the difference.
