Emme Martin Persuasive Speech

120 Words1 Page

Imogene, Iowa. Population 62 and a handful of stray cats. Home of the Emerald Isle Tavern and Saint Patrick’s Catholic Church. A bright and shiny namesake my dad wanted to gift me. Emma Jean, Imogene, get it? Unfortunately, due to a disagreement between my parents, my birth certificate reads Emma Elizabeth Martin, rather than the former suggestion. As a young man, Dominic Martin came over from Ireland in search of the American Dream. Little did he know that four generations later, the small community he escaped to, would be thriving from their Irish heritage. Gone were the days of the potato famine and war; replacing them were annual St. Patrick’s day parades and the local Catholic church’s 100 year anniversary.

They especially didn’t expect their baby boy to officiate the marriage of the future president of the United States. The Cushing family who once lived in Ireland soon moved their lives and lived in the South Side of Boston. In their family of seven, it was found common to attend grammar school as well as high school. However, the only family member to drop out of high school was Richard.

    My first name Nathan ranks thirty-eighth in the United States and thirteenth in Canada, but that is low in relation to crowning my first name to be the most popular in France (Campbell). I would have certainly not known my name to be so popular in a different country. Since I was born, I have been alien to knowledge of how I came to have my name, how popular it was, and what it meant because of accepting it without any thought. I never thought about how much my name represents who I am and how much it affects me.

The message I like to convey to women and girls across the globe is that there is no glass ceiling. My fear is that Wimbledon is loudly and clearly sending the opposite message.” I agree with everything that Williams has said because people all around the world put a stereotype, meritocracy, on top of female athletes that makes them think that they shouldn’t earn as much. Women athletes put in just as much hard work as men do.
