Speeches

Our Flag Have you ever put deep thought into something that seemed so simple? The 13 red and white stripes, and 50 white stars outlined in blue are truly more than a piece of cloth. The United States Flag is a beautiful symbol of America. When I glance at the American flag, the feeling of pride fills my body. I am very proud to live in America, where our soldiers fought proudly with the flag by their side. I am proud to be able to gaze at the symbol of the United States every day, and remember…

It's all over the news. Trump and Hillary are fighting it out. Some say Trump is too crazy to be President!?! Others say, Hillary needs to be put in jail!?! Let's discuss Trump first. He wants to make America great again. He is outspoken, says what he thinks, and he is funding his own campaign. He don't take any crap from anyone. What do you think? Is he too out of control to make America great again? Do you think Trump is stepping on toes that are in turn causing these politician to lash out at…

Many political observers are wondering what Donald Trump’s next step is as he is running for the next presidential campaign. Donald Trump is a force in the Republican presidential race. All he has is an attitude, racism and he doesn’t have the political experience. Trump is not even a president, yet he is already showing everyone that he is not someone we should trust. Due to lack of his political experience, he shouldn’t have been considered a reasonable candidate for the 2016 presidential…

On April 11, we had two guest speakers: Kat Jackson and Kathleen Grace Avila; Ms. Jackson spoke on the topic of organization skills and time management. During her speech, Ms. Jackson noted that she came from England and found her true calling in learning organizational skills. She then realized her abilities to achieve both her long-term and short-term goals. Since she has found her calling, she has assisted countless others in prioritizing their time and obtaining their goals. Ms.…

Today I would like to talk about my point of view on what I think gang relations can really do. I choose this topic to show you all how gangs will affect you and the people around you. Love for the streets is where they think it’s at but when you stop to think about it, where does the streets really get you. Ya they encourage you but what they are encouraging you to do never gets you where you should be. Statistics show that most gang involvement ends you up in prison or dead. There is a story I…

“How much further until the finish line?” During a Cross Country meet you will find yourself asking this question quite a bit. You may think that a 5k is simple work, you’ve never run up and down hills for 30 minutes straight. Though these things may try and keep you down, you just keep pushing ahead until the next mile point. While running you seem to be in a whole new state of mind and determination. All thoughts disappear and all you can do is run. First I will explain how a Cross Country…

The theme I will be following is identity. We all come from somewhere; we all have backgrounds and pasts; we all have an identity that’s more than just a name. September 30th of 1999, I entered this world. I was given the name Sherri, and I was full of potential. My personality could be shaped by anything, bits and pieces of who I am today were things I picked up in my past. I could tell you my life story, but I couldn’t exactly pick out how I came to be this way. To tell you about parts of my…

I find it funny that 12 years ago I would be inside my room with a bunch of papers, a ruler, and my grandma 's glasses on playing teacher with my friends. In that moment I would have never thought that being a teacher would be really what I would want to be when I grew up. I always found myself interested in teaching, I just never knew what grade or if I was really sure if that is what I wanted to do. I guess what helped me clear that up was the beginning of my senior year. It was a week before…

They pass it to Kobe with 5 seconds left, he hesitates to the goal 4… he dribbles between the legs…3...2, he steps back and shoots...1. It's a fan's dream come true to take the game-winning shot. The way your excitement flows in your body as I play in the close game. I once heard the broadcasters talk about Kobe Bryant that way. In fact, me being named after the famous Kobe Bryant, who would go down as a legend, I would have to live to high expectations. It would be just as great as hitting the…

My daughter just got a face tattoo, and dyed her hair green!! Even though I told her that it was forbidden. What should I do!! Help guide me through this difficult time with my family. Dj_Trump: I totally know where you’re coming from. I have a daughter who use to be like your daughter. I told her to listen to me and do as I…
