Good afternoon, my name is Taylor Eleyet and I am the president of the BMCHS SADD club. SADD is a club that assists in guiding students in the right direction and away from destructive decisions. I have been a member of SADD for the past two years. Today I would like to discuss the subject of texting and driving and how it not only affects yourself but everyone around you.

The audience-speaker relationship was also a great thing to learn. This relationship shows cause and effect, for example, when you lose the attention of your audience you may begin to second guess yourself leaving you to becoming nervous and self conscious. You then may start to panic and your speech may become a
