Dear Fellow Toastmaster Ladies and Gentleman
Today I will take this moment to tell you
About the Origin of Sailormoon, the Story, Sailormoon today , What I learned from Sailormoon

Main Points:
1. The Origin of Sailormoon
Takeuchi Naoko was the founder and writer of Sailormoon. Sailormoon catch its first public attention by appearing on television channel in Japan as early as March 1992. The first manga series was published a month earlier. But it was the anime television series that catched a massive attention from the public. By the end of 1995, sailormoon managed to reach 23 countries worldwide.
Do you know the story of sailormoon ?

2. The story
A thousand years ago, there was a kingdom under the rule of Queen Serenity. It was the happiest kingdom when all the planets were at peace. Queen Serenity raised her daughter Serena to follow her footsteps, but most of the time Serena spent staring at the earth, for she had fallen in love with a young man from there. He was Prince Endymion of Earth. Everything was peaceful until the arrival of dark power of Metalia. On the earth, she found an ally in Queen Beryl who was propelled by her lust for power and unrequited love for Prince Endymion. Together with Shitennou and Seven Great Youma they conquered the Earth then moved to the Silver Millenium in order to obtain the power of the Silver Crystal. Princess Serenity, Prince Endymion and Sailor Senshi were all killed in the battle and in her grief, Queen Serenity used the Silver Crystal, despite the fact that it would cost her life. The power of the crystal sealed away Metalia’s evil and fulfilling the last wish of the dying queen. That is to send Serenity, Endymion and the Senshi into the future in the hope that they could be reborn again on earth and live a peaceful lives.

And so our story begins…
Sailor moon was reborn as Usagi Tsukino, an ordinary 14 year old school girl who is lazy, a cry baby and she spent all her free time after school at the game center playing the Sailor V video game. One day she bumped into a talking cat named Luna and discovered that she was a Sailor Senshi, destined to protect the princess and the world from the evil forces of the dark kingdom. As Sailor Moon, Usagi later joined by Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Venus and occasionally helped by Tuxedo Mask. Eventually Usagi discovers that she is the Princess and the reborn heir to the ancient moon kingdom and wielder of the silver crystal.
Just as the sailor soldiers were back on earth, the evil minions of Queen Beryl also returned to earth. Queen Beryl and Metalia emerge from the seal placed upon them by Queen Serenity in the past and threaten to destroy the Earth once more. The stories endlessly involved the battle between queen beryl and sailor senshi. As the series progresses, gradually Usagi discovers the truth about her own past life, her destined true love, and the possibilities for the future of the Solar System.
The story that I just told you is the Sailormoon first season.

4. What I learned from Sailormoon
Friendship is a free gift from God
Truly Believe in what u Wish for
By Fate and not By Coincidence
You are Invincible!
Dreams only come true in Cans and not Can’ts

Never stop dreaming
Only you can make your dreams come true
