She came up with the idea to donate the program to Coker after I won the contest because as all of you know, Coker is the place where everything began for me. My dad means everything to me, he went along with me my whole life. He was there when I learned how to walk and talk; he was there at my first day of school; he was there when I had my first tennis match; he was there when I had my first lovesickness; he was there every time when me and my sister were fighting and both of us have been punished at the end; he was there when I was about to go to college 4,261 miles away from home and he was there when I had the idea for my own business; he introduced me to Steve Jobs when I was ten. My dad not only taught me things when I was young, he was and still is there for me in every situation of my life. Parents are educators. Steve was an educator for courage and innovation.

    I attended a speaker event representing Land O’Lakes Inc. on October 25, 2016 from 6 PM to 7 PM in Blegen Hall, which was presented by Adam.

The guest speaker, who stood out the most, was Jared Loftus. Unlike the majority of guest speakers who discussed how great their company is and their success, Loftus took a different approach. Instead of focusing on his success, he discussed his “failures” in depth, which (in my opinion) was the most important lesson of all.…

    When comparing the commencement speech given by Steve Jobs at Stanford University in 2005 to the commencement speech given by Barak Obama at Wesleyan University in 2008, one can argue that Steve Jobs’ address has a stronger use of the rhetorical situation and the rhetorical appeals. Jobs’ ability to combine ethos, pathos and purpose proves his credibility, builds a relationship with the audience, and helps students believe in their intuitions. In his 2005 commencement address to Stanford University, Steve Jobs incorporates ethos to prove his credibility to his audience. He begins by admitting that “[he] never graduated from college” (1).…
