Improved Essays
Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you Jeron Buie. Since Jeron’s poster mainly revolves around two of his hobbies, I have decided to make this introductory speech mainly about his different interests, hobbies, and favorite activities. This includes music, and future aspirations.
First things first, and has in infatuation with anything technology related. He especially loves computers and video games. He even filled his poster with pictures from the video game Last of Us. Last of Us is a video game about an infection that turns human beings into zombies. After hearing some of his hobbies I have come to the conclusion that Jeron is somewhat a computer-video game nerd informed on what to do, and what not to do during a zombie apocalypse. It is also his interest with computers and technology that lead him prefer to type his assignments rather than hand writing.
Secondly, music is another favored time passing activity that Jeron enjoys taking part in. Among his favorite artists are Chance the Rapper, Kanye West, and Kendrick Lamar. From Chance the Rapper his favorite song is Chainsmoker.

He decided to come to Rufus King High School because that is what all his peers seemed to be doing. Despite this fact, Jeron considers himself someone who paves his own path for the future. After high school, he wants to go to trade school and hone his craftsmanship skills. He is very determined to becoming an apprentice for welding. Welding requires expert skill in areas such as using a blowtorch, a hammer and other technical equipment to bend or manipulate the physical state of metal. Jeron wants to eventually move out of Milwaukee to find a safer place to live. As place, perhaps, where he can achieve his dream of becoming a welder. He might change his dream, and that is alright, but based on his dreams he could end up helping out in constructing skyscrapers, railroads, bridges, ships, or automotive
