Speech On Passion Project

885 Words4 Pages

I want you to imagine you woke up this morning and was worried about whether you were going to get to have water. Imagine you also had a family you had to take care of, what would you do? How would you react if this happened every single day? For my Passion Project this year I worked with Nurai Arafa and we believe that water is something every living thing should have a right to. Sadly, many people don’t have this right, even in our country. My goal for the Passion Project this year is to spread awareness about the lack of water in the world, raise money to help people in the world get water, and provide at least 10 people with clean water. The first two and half quarters of the year was focused on raising money and spreading awareness to third world country struggles, specifically water in South Asia.

This woman was really nice and she knew a lot about the cause and helped us broaden our knowledge on the topic. This lady was also one of the first people we talked to so, her kindness really helped to make us less nervous. From my volunteering efforts I learned that raising money (even if it is for a very important cause) it harder than it may seem. I also learned that when you make a quick speech you shouldn’t make it too long. When Nurai and I did our fundraiser, we started with a really long speech and went to this guy’s door, when we gave him our speech it was about 5 minutes long. By the time we talked to the last person, the speech was about 2 minutes

    In my freshman year, I made a choice to relinquish some of my social life and replace that time giving back to my community. I joined a non-profit organization called the Volunteer Corp. We spent our time at food banks, park clean-ups, and even hosting local events. This experience left a lasting impression on me in many ways; however, one experience changed my perspective on life and serve as a constant reminder of how the smallest contribution to others can be the most powerful. St. Joseph University, in Philadelphia, held an event called Hand in Hand. It was an event dedicated to raising awareness for people with physical and/or developmental disabilities.

    The text allows for the reader to understand what the water crisis is, and how it is impacting our daily lives. The text also gives the reader multiple different examples of water control in the United States.

  • Speech About Optimism

    802 Words  | 4 Pages

    Optimism is hopefulness for the future, and, like me, most people get their optimism from their roots, or how they were brought up as a child. My parents would always remind me from a young age that being pessimistic will not help you achieve your goal, so you might as well be optimistic and try. They have always taught me from a young age, and never denied or doubted, that with optimism comes opportunity, and that optimism is, in fact, the key to success. Over the years, I’ve learned that the more optimistic you are, the more creative you can be. With optimistic attitude, one can generate new ideas and create possibilities to move forward faster and more efficiently than at normal times, due to an open mind.

    Life is not about being born, go to school get a degree, amass wealth, get married, raise a family and die to be buried. There is more to life than just this process. Like Jeremiah, God told him that before you were formed, I knew you and before you came out of your mother’s womb, I sanctified you and ordained you a prophet. This supports the fact that, before you were born, a work has already been assigned to your name. To put it this way, every human embryo has a work assigned to it, to accomplish on earth so it doesn’t matter how the human embryo was formed or who carries it.
