A rush of adrenaline surged through my body as I scanned the hall. This was it. All the work has finally came to this moment. I saw the wisdom-etched faces of the NZ-Korean War Veterans, the eager children, the proud moms and dads and other interested parties in front of me. Nervously, I opened my mouth to announce, “On behalf of the Tauranga Korean students, I warmly welcome you to the Korean War Veterans Appreciation Ceremony.” My passion for history was the beginning idea for that day’s event…

Let’s Band Together Ever since I saw a high school band perform for us during an assembly, I’ve wanted to be a part of the band experience. I’ve been waiting for today all summer, today I get to pick which instrument I get to play. I’m not even the slightest bit mad that I have to go to my school a day before school even starts. As I walk into my elementary school, I proudly remember that I’ve gone to this school for years. It feels good knowing I get to finally be a fifth grader and rule the…

Welcome to the eighth grade celebration breakfast. I thank you for coming to this event to honor all of the Our Lady of Grace Class of 2017. The years I have experienced at OLG have helped me in my educational, spiritual, and professional career. After fifth grade, my parents decided it was time for a change of environment. They could’ve chosen anywhere: private schools, public schools, and possibly even homeschool. Soon, I was heading to Our Lady of Grace in Noblesville, Indiana. They chose…

Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to start by saying on behalf of the bride’s mother, myself, and the groom’s parents, in giving a warm welcome to all the relatives and friends who have joined us today to celebrate Samantha and Jake’s wedding. Today we are the proudest parents in the whole world, seeing your daughter look so happy and radiant is a truly amazing experience, but I have to admit it fazed me just a bit in the ceremony when I had to give her away. As I look at my daughter, I can't…

This is my speech about my book of choice, Divergent, by Veronica Roth. Divergent is a spectacular story about a girl called Tris, it intrigues the audience with an impressive storyline and astonishing visualisation . The great thing about this book is that despite it being based around a Dystopian society much like many books today, it provide us with more excitement and captivation due to its unique and thrilling story. Now, if the life story of a struggling but heroic girl does not entice you…

“Oh! Jalen Manivanh just broke Jose Ochoa’s ankles. He steps back for a three……… Bang! The squinty-eyed assassin plays basketball like a boss!” Do you play basketball like a boss? I don't think so. You have to play basketball like a boss, so you can be like the squinty-eyed assassin himself. To play basketball like a boss, you have to practice hard, ball up in the game, and last not but not least celebrate. First you are going to have to practice hard every single day. How do you think that…

the author of The Elihu Speeches: There Place and Sense in the Book of Job, examines the arguments of the critics who claim that the Elihu speeches are later interpolations, while simultaneously presenting the arguments of those, who like himself, argue that the Elihu speeches are original text in the book of Job. According to Andersen, Matthias Heinrich Stuhlmann, a Lutheran preacher, was the first person to include an argument against the originality of the Elihu speeches in his commentary…

This is an email I have thought about sending many times but just haven't been able to put the courage to say. As a student, I see and hear about lots of things that you may not. Unfortunately, these things I hear tend to be not so good things. It's incredibly tough to try and tell you things that my good friends that I've stood by since elementary school but at this point in my life, I've realized that I need to take an action before they wind up severely putting danger to themselves. It's…

Comrades, how has life on the farm been without me? Thank you for accepting the hens’ request of sacrificing a few minutes of your sleep and giving me this opportunity to convey a message I feel so passionately about. As you all know, I was exiled from the farm a few months ago by Napoleon. You, comrades, are probably confused about that occurrence and you may have been told many things by Napoleon and Squealer. However, I am confident that you, comrades, understand that they are just lies.…
