Answer: The reason she writes the speech is to encourage thoughtful reflection, while the reason for her essay is to encourage a larger audience to do the same.

This is an essay about the process of writing a speech. This means that the author is sending a message through two different modes of communication. The author explains that the reason she wrote the speech was to congratulate teachers and families, but more importantly, to encourage reflection (<em>"I wondered how best to create an occasion for reflection"</em>). On the other hand, the reason she is writing the essay is to share the experience. In this way, she is hoping she can encourage this reflection in a larger audience.
