This was the speech that should have won 1st place. I was there, 8th row. This speech is so well constructed, the build up to the end took it to the top.

"Sherrie, we are not your parents. We are CCs" loolol it!

[ThayJimmyThai]

Champion-caliber speech. I connected with hers, but not with the 1st place. There is something about speaking from the heart, rather than acting.

[monikabelicin]

I got tears and laughter listening to her speech. It's like watching a beautiful inspiring movie in a concise form. I believe so many people could relate to some of her story. Congratulations for Turning Around and for getting your points across effectively.

She's hero of Chinese Toastmasters！

[leahkao]

That was an amazing speech that blends true emotions, humor, and inspiration altogether!

[michellenutt]

Yeah, how did this girl not win???? I laughed and cried in the same speech, several times. And she's beyond adorable.

"All of our conversations are 5-7 minutes long" HAHAHA!!

This speech should have won, the winner can't even compare to this... Su is just so amazing

As a book coach, I love the emotive way she communicates her story

[GeometricMason]

I was in the fifth row.

I think she should have won... and she may have if she had not the misfortune of drawing the first speaking slot.

It's also worth mentioning she didn't speak English eight or nine years ago.

[kimberlystrenk]

SO GOOD. Watched it twice. She is funny, engaging and tells a great story.

[TheModernAsianMan]

Well spoken & acted out. She not only execute her speech well, she plays the role excellently. Constantly switching between emotions seamlessly, she's definitely one of the most effective speakers I've heard.

I could relate to most parts of it, that's why it could make me cry as well as laugh.
