Whats a creative way to start a speech

I need a creative way to write a speech to beacuse I a running for senator at my school everyone knows my name so I dont need to start with my name but I need help thank you

Here are tips:

-Usually when I start up a speech I ask the crowd or people how they are doing to get a good start
-I read the first part of my paper and start saying it but in a calm way but being serious
-Look up at the people who are listening but look at individual people without laughing
-Continue reading but trying to sound just like the way you wrote it sort of like story telling
-Stop at each paragraph to say what the first part means so they can get a good idea of what your talking about

well if everyone knows your name then that is good lol
so what I would do to start off is make them laugh or do something that they wouldnt exspect you to do. also another way of starting it off would be just go up in front of them and say hey you know my name so say it with me it should get some reactions lol

thank but im not that funny!

I'm sure all of you know who I am, but none of you know what I really want. I want to be YOUR senator. I want to help this school... and so on and so forth.

with a question speeches are really cool when they start with a question and then like end the speech with an answer

I like maggots answer so I totally agree everything maggot wrote cause that something I would advise you to speak about!

wish you all the best with your speech and just keep the fith bcos if you want to be a senator your saying this speech then I know you'll perform a great speech and be a even better senator!
