Sugar Sammy: A Canadian comedian, actor, writer, and producer.
Toastmasters: An organization I belong to for over a decade.
Because of Toastmasters, I could summon up my courage and copy Sugar Sammy.
Sugar Sammy is one of the big stars in the comedy world. I have watched a few shows on YouTube before but couldn't understand much. Even though he does have shows in English but his unique style made him more popular with his shows in French.
Imagine, trying to speak like him...in French.
Well, that is what we were asked to do for the French homework: be a copy cat. Student of Excellence would be given to the best imitator.
I was hoping for the cancellation as I read a few "impossible" comments. I didn't say anything but I was waiting for something to happen.
Nothing happened. People started handing in just about one hour before the deadline.
I am a Toastmaster. I can do this. I kept telling myself.
And I did!
I tried my best to copy his accent, tone of voice...and handed in my version of Sugar Sammy.
To my surprise, I won a Student of Excellence (优秀学员)️ in my group, the second time since we started.
That is why I keep promoting Toastmasters. It has taught me how to speak like one.
