At 10, Dalton Sherman is a speech-making pro. Since winning a big oratory competition in Dallas last January, he’s performed at numerous churches and events all over Dallas. He even opened an event for famed poet Maya Angelou.
Here's a kid who has found his passion: public speaking. A video of the presentation Sherman made to 17,000 teachers of the Dallas Unified School district is making the rounds.
Take note of what Sherman did to prepare:- His school (Charles Rice Learning Center) has an oratory program, in which Sherman participated
- Dallas has an oratory competition that Sherman won earlier in the year.
- After Sherman won the Gardere MLK competition, Dallas Independent School District contacted the Sherman family to ask if Sherman would address the teachers
- His presentation was written by the district
- His mother and his oratory coach worked with him all summer to prepare for the convocation speech in August.
- Sherman gave the whole speech to live audiences throughout the summer.
Think about that, constructivists.
