I would love to be a curator

Here's my "speech":
I'm going to choose projects that are..
❁Unique
❁Insparational
❁Creative
❁Just plain awesome!
I want to be a curator because...
❁I will make a good curator
❁It sounds fun!
❁I can give my opinion on what should go on the front page
❁I have lots of time because my teacher gives me barely any Homework!
As a curator, I will..
❁Choose projects that aren't remixes
❁Choose projects that are appropriate for ages 10 and under (like me)
❁Probably not take any recommendations, because who knows what I like?
❁Keep Copyright and Creative Commons in mind
❁Choose 2 projects every other day
❁And most of all.. Be myself and have fun!
I hope you choose me because..
❁I think that I can tackle this job
❁It will be fun
❁I'm not just choosing unnoticed projects
I hope you choose me when I'm ready!

Okay.

Do you have to be a "Scratcher" to ask to be a curator? If not, could I be a curator?

Yes, you have to be a scratcher. And, when you do become a scratcher you have to write a speech    Hope I helped!

Opps!! XD

I guess I'll have another go at this!

Good day, my name is ImagineIt and I have decided to apply for the curator position on the homepage of scratch.mit.edu. I like many projects, but not many projects are noticed by many people. I always see the same types of projects and the same users on the front page. I think that other people should have a try to get onto the front page as I have been on it twice and it brightened up my days both times. I wan't all other scratchers to have that feeling. Here are my reasons why I am a very good choice for curator.

I will choose a diversity of projects. I will not only choose games that have a fun quality, but I will choose many more. I will choose things from these topics and many more topics:

Animations
Games
Simulations
Remixes(I believe that remixes are how people learn and they should not be shunned.)
Educational projects
Tutorial Projects
Art Projects

And many, many more. I will choose 3 projects every single day during my shift. Since a shift is fourteen days, that's 42 projects! That also means that 42 scratchers get a chance to be on the front page! I will create a gallery with all of the projects featured and will advertise it so that people still see the projects after their time on the front page has been finished. I will not choose any one scratcher twice

Thank you for reading my speech. I hope that you only choose who you think is the best curator out of everyone, even if it's not me. --ImagineIt

Wow! Good speech. I want you to be curator.

+1 Excellent speech! I can see from your favorites that you will be a good curator. 

Does it have to be exactly a month before you make another speech?

Hello Scratch Team (or whoever else that may be looking at this speech),

You may not already know, but this is my second go at a curator position. I would curate projects that are fun, exciting, and entertaining. As having my second project being curated, I know how awesome curation is. It completely brightens up the day of the project author while allowing Scratchers to see an awesome project or a new type of project.

I would curate any type of project, whether it be a Platformer, simulation, physics engine, music video, remixes (as long as it isn't a copy), etc... Also, as said in my other speech, I would try to curate projects that have a unique aspect in them, that are not put into that type of project. Like if you had a platformer (the type of project) that had a reverse-time feature (the unique aspect). If I couldn't find any in time, I would try to find an unknown scratcher with an awesome project to curate instead.

Although I am fairly new, it seems like I've been on for over a year. I really enjoy the Scratch Program and helping out others. Becoming a curator would allow me to help unknown scratchers even more than I already can.
