| How 
                  to Choose a Topic We 
                  purposely chose a theme for this competition that would allow 
                  you unlimited freedom. We want YOU to be the one to chose, not 
                  us! So, it's really simple, choose a topic that is YOUR passion.
 Here are a few questions you can ask yourself to help you find 
                  that topic.
 
 1. If I were King of the World and I could change the world 
                  any way I wanted, what would I do?
 Well, 
                  if lots of people get to see and hear your speech, maybe your 
                  speech, and your idea WILL change the world!
 
 2. What REALLY bugs me?
 Gotta be something.
 
 3. What REALLY fascinates me?
 Is it science? Then choose a topic in the world of science.
 Is it animals? Then choose a topic that deals with animals.
 Is it politics? Then choose a topic that deals with politics
 
 4. Who do I admire? Why?
 Is it Oprah, Michael Jordan, Albert Einstein, Martin Luther 
                  King, Nelson Mandela, Beyonce, your own mom or dad or a teacher 
                  at your school? Doesn't matter who. If you admire someone there's 
                  probably a pretty good reason for it. Find that reason and it 
                  will give you a clue as to what is important to you.
 
 5. What do people need to know that they might not know?
 Have you studied things or know things that most people don't? 
                  Would it be important for people to know what you know?
 
 Again, this is YOUR "Message For America". 
                  Use it wisely!!
