Is 8 minutes long enough for an approximately 10 minute presentation?
(feel free to pray for tomorrow morning's presentation.)

~10 min presentation question
When I feel blue, I start breathing again.

When you ask if eight minutes is long enough-- is it a school presentation that you'll be graded on timewise? Because if that were the case, I'd say you better get it as close to ten minutes as absolutely possible. If it's a different kind of presentation, one that's more informal, I'd say that's prooty close.
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

Based on your prayer request I recently read in the Prayer Room, I'm going to assume that this is for school. I'm also going to assume that you have practiced this presentation and have timed yourself doing it at 8 minutes. I would definitely add more to it, since people usually speed up when they're actually doing the presentation, usually to get it over with (learned from Public Speaking, Comm. 100). If it's 8 minutes now, it could end up being 6 minutes when you actually do it, which would probably hurt your grade. What I would do (and have done) is get at least two minutes above the time limit while practicing. That way, you have two minutes to play with during the actual presentation and if you speed up, then you should fall right around the 10-minute limit.
What really helps is if the teacher said at least 10 minutes; it never hurts to go a little over time if it ensures that you'll be at the minimum.
Oh, and I'll surely pray.

(It depends. In the National Christian Forensics and Communicators Association (read: Homeschool speech and debate), in our speech events, all except for limited prep have a max time of ten minutes. As Mrs. Dargan (one of the speech coaches in our speech and debate club) said last year, "Eight minutes and thirty seconds is the happy place." Everyone laughed, but it's true. As Yumie said, if you're being graded on it, like for school, get as close as you possibly can to ten minutes. But if not, even for competition (I've seen 8:45 get as high as second place overall, at the very least breaking to finals), around eight but closer to nine is okay.)
