thrilling and energetic. I remember what his speech was about just from the attention getter and it definitely made a lasting impression on the whole class. Another type of attention device is to ask a rhetorical question. A rhetorical question is a figure of speech in the form of a question that is asked in order to make a point, instead of generating answers.

When I think of successful people, my name had always failed to cross my mind. What had I done, or what could I ever do, to make myself worthy of holding such an honorable character trait? As it turns out, I have managed to surprise myself. It’s difficult to discuss these changes without sounding pompous or self-righteous, but I’ve come to find a great joy in reflecting on where I came from and where I stand today. Truly, I had never expected to attend college let alone fall in love with a…

“Apply all of your corrections, think about everything we have practiced, and have fun! Put your minds to what it is you want to accomplish.” These were the words of my synchronized skating coach before we took to the ice at Nationals. In February 2014, my team and I competed at the U.S. Synchronized Skating Championships in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

I heard a rumor that if you are in his senior honors English class he takes a day to answer any and all personal questions you have about him, but only for that class. Now to me this sounds like reason enough to make you work through this class, but unfortunately I didn’t make myself do it. One of my friends Kali Smith took the class last year and apparently knows everything there is about McGee, but apparently also was sworn to secrecy with the punishment of a tortuous death because she isn’t…
