Two things i find important with a speech
Short it down
There's an unfortunate temptation in a short speech to try to cram everything you have to say into a short time. Instead of trying to make the time fit the speech, however, recognize that you have to make your remarks fit the time allotted. If you've got five minutes to talk, you shouldn't have more than three main points.
Speak up
All of your preparation, cutting, organizing, and emotion goes for naught if people can't hear you. If you have good audio equipment, use it. If not, at least start out by asking whether people can hear your voice. One trick: Ask the audience to raise their hands if they can hear you well. If you see a patch of people somewhere without their hands up, you know there's an issue you need to address.
The computer i use at home
The way i came to having my computer at home was when i was begging my father to get me a new PC so i could play better games on it. Since my father owns his own internet company he gets deals and offers that not ordinary people would usually get on tech equipment. He got told Peter Thiel co founder of Pay pal and first professional investor for Facebook was selling off all of his tech equipment because he had no use for his house in Queenstown anymore. My father went over and bought his PC for me and at the time i couldn't be more happy. What i use it for, I use the computer mainly for gaming and class work i need to do at home, Its limitations come as it doesn't have the best graphics card so means i can not stream while playing a game simultaneously but runs fast enough with its Intel core i7 CPU which is good enough for me.
