    Came here for inspiration to write an OO, left with a very important message. Thank you for this, Haris. Nuance really is lost in the current age, so we must seek to look at and even cherish complexity.

An original topic, references to current events and controversies, humor, emotional moments, sophisticated vocabulary, literary devices, and perfect delivery. Haris, you are an inspiration to me. Your eloquent words will echo in my mind as I work on my original oratory for my upcoming speech season. I hope to one day stand on the NSDA stage and move people the way you have. Good luck at Columbia University; you have a bright future ahead of you!

    I'm a freshman in high school. The last speech I wrote for Original Oratory took me 10 hours and I won a decent amount of competitions. Recently I've decided to put in the effort and try to attempt to win a national competition one day. I really believe I have the potential and if I spend enough time working on it that I will manage to do so, I look at this video every so often as a way to see the caliber that my work must reach in order to do this. I hope I manage to fulfil that dream and this speech has really inspired me in many ways.

    By far one of the best speakers I’ve ever listened to. In college I won three national forensic championship awards, and made it to the final rounds in numerous speech events at both national and international tournaments. During my forensics career I had the privilege of witnessing some of the most amazing and talented orators in this country. However, very few were at this young man’s caliber. His conversational speaking tone is effortless, and his genial demeanor and non-verbal gestures underscore just how talented he is. I do have to say, his smile literally lights up the room. I can see the judges smiling back each time he does, or giggling each time he makes a facial expression. Very seldom is there this type of talent at the high school level.

    I decided to watch this as a form of guide for writing a hook on a simple discussion post essay for a college class. After a bit of initial skepticism, that this scrawny kid could have really won nationals for a speech involving BLM, the skeptisim was quickly disarmed. He diffuses tension, and boasts confidence in his jokes and witty banter. Its relatable, And thats when I realized this truly is magic.
    Wonderful presentation in all regards, and a clearly deserving winner.
