10.30.09 - Speech Day
On Friday Pobo and the other 5 kids running for school president delivered their speeches to the student body. Three straight periods of speeches and by the end of it I thought my arm was going to fall off from shooting. But it was worth it — Pobo hit it out of the park!! Elections are on Monday and although he has 2 strong opponents, Destiny and Angelica (pictured below), I think he has a really good shot at winning.
Pobo knows how to work the crowd. Point…
and wave.

“Good morning. My name is Oghenakpobo. Most of you know me as Pobo. A good number of you know me as Pobama. Today, I stand before you to tell you that I am running to become your student body president.”
“I need us to unite with one another and together we will make the impossible impossible no more.”
“I’m ready for change. Are you?”
