personally, i hate presentations that are filled with lot of text in powerpoint, they tend to be very long and boring.
Try to simplify every slide to just a few words or keypoints of what you are or going to be talking in a specifc theme. For example
"At the beginning of this semester I knew it was time to get involved with the change we’d all like to see in the world: Less suffering. More smiling faces. We also know that our time in College is not only for classroom learning, but for gaining the experience we need to turn our knowledge into skills. Because of this I was immediately hooked when McKenzie told me about Nourish International."
Dont paste all that in a slide. Maybe just a slide with the following points
"Nourish International" in the top center, then
- Change in the World: Less suffering. More smiles
- Gaining experinece.
-Knowledge into skills.
And with your speech you fill the gaps, or explaing what are those points, no need to explain them with text in the slides. With more text you tend to read more the slides, and look less profesional. Just talk natural and let the slides be kind of remainders of keypoints of the presentation.

ok so I put this together
it is wayyyyyy fuckin hard to write and master a speech in one day -_- I made quite a few errors on this take but I practiced powering through them....
going to practice as much as I can tomorrow but yah, this is still the general idea
feedback welcome..
I started the speech from the point where our President has introduced herself and welcomed everyone, and introduced me
thanks for taking the time to check it out guys.
in other news I'm rather pleased that I got a 92% on my first test in my accounting "weed-out" course

ok I'm actually listening to myself, here's what I am noticing
-wish I could weave a story into this -- feels like that got lost with all of the information I ended up trying to pack in
-I'm going to practice as much as reasonably possible in the next 40 hours until I figure out a way to where it comes out in a more natural pace.
-and so I don't get confused on the ventures part
-definitely not say 'work that table' as a brainfart
ballin'

In honor of LP, in the middle of your speech, try to throw in a die howard without anyone noticing
