I’m Murphy Georger, I am a member of the Park City Swim Team and a student of Treasure Mountain Junior High. I sit in the second row of Ms.Hooker’s class. I found every thing you told us about to be very fascinated. Most of all I really enjoyed learning about you and your background. I appreciate you coming to our class to speech. My favorite party of your presentation was when you told us about your background and how you grew up. It’s not every day that you meet a polygamist, deaf basketball player who is friends with Lebron and Lamar. Your are a really fascinating person. I wasn’t bored at all while listening to your presentation. You are by far the best guest speaker that we had in this class. Your presentation skills are great, and your
David McCullough, in his Wellesley High School Commencement Address, utilizes imagery to convey to his audience that each individual possesses the same common potential. While addressing the graduating class of 2012, McCullough makes a point to emphasize how unexceptional the students are. By bringing to light the fact that the students are all wearing the same “ceremonial costume…shapeless, uniform, one-size-fits-all” (McCullough 1), he illustrates the conformity of the crowd. By depicting the cap and gown, McCullough demonstrates that each student at the ceremony are at the same level.
Our dad would have been 76 today. I miss him as much today as I did the day he left his earthly body behind to transcend into the heaven. The older I get the more I realize just how lucky we were to call him Pops! I wouldn't be the man I am today without his guidance.
Thank you for this opportunity. I apologize for the delay. I admit that I am not a great writer and should you not ask me to come in for an interview, I humbly welcome any constructive criticism in it 's place. I look forward to your response.
The humor of the guest speaker really made me feel comfortable. Adam frankness with
Marching band; copious amounts of people scoff at the sound of those words. I often hear students commenting on how easy marching band is, how we don’t train like the football players do. At Anderson High School, that’s not the case, the marching band trains for just as long. As a band of over 125 individuals, it takes determination, pride, and confidence to achieve the goals we have set forth to accomplish. As a leader of the saxophone section, I know what it’s like to face failure, to overcome and turn it into success and to march on with confidence.
The Diversity University event was not what I expected it to be. In fact, I had no idea what it was about at all. I literally went around campus to see if anything exciting was going on. I was curious and I saw a promotion board outside of my residence hall. Immediately, I walked over to the Rayburn Student Center where the event was taking place.
The atmosphere of Schoenfeld Campus Gym had been electrifying Thursday afternoon. The Fall Homecoming Pep Rally included numerous activities for Concordia’s sports team to partake in. For example, one “challenge” involved a member of the sports team getting wrapped up in toilet paper, under the pressure of a time clock. When time ran out, whichever individual was wrapped in the most toilet paper (or looked the most like they had just emerged from an Egyptian pyramid) won that game. The CCNY Pep Rally acted as an opportunity for the rest of the student body to become familiar with our famed athletic program, and to mingle with this elite status of the student.
In her “Commencement Speech at Mount Holyoke College”, Anna Quindlen employs personal anecdotes and her academic background to effectively build her credibility. Quindlen explains how her strive for perfection in her younger years only served to add needless parasitic pressure. She claims that “being perfect day after day, year after year, became like always carrying a backpack filled with bricks on my back” (Quindlen 1). Drawing from her personal experiences, Quindlen challenges her audience to “give up the backpack”. By building a strong connection through shared hardship, Quindlen appears as an authority on defying conformity to discover one’s own individuality.
Wow, what a great and accomplished 4 years it’s been for us. Heck, it’s been an accomplished 10 years for us. It’s been a wild ride, and as it’s almost time for me to put down my bat and put away my glove, I have some thanking to do. So, thank you for everything, for everything you’ve taught me and everything you’ve made me learn through the game of softball. In my high school softball career, I have learned many valuable things from you.
We have finished. We finished the journey. Today is the day that will go down in history books. Everyone will remember the Meriwether Lewis and William Clark expedition. They’ll call it “one of the greatest expeditions of all time.”
The Unusual Message Reading the commencement speech “This is Water”, written and delivered by David Foster Wallace to students and their families at Kenyon College was nothing like what I was expecting it to be. I can imagine the listeners that were present were just as shocked as I was when they finally grasped the message he was presenting to them that day. Normally when someone delivers a commencement speech to students graduating, it's more along the lines of “be all that you can be” or “You can do it” with emphasis on the word “you.” No one really tells you to think of others first at that point in your lives. However, Wallace did just that.
When in the course of my lifetime, it becomes clear it is time to separate and go my own way, and live out my own life. To dissolve bonds I have had with him my entire life. I am entitled to my right to live out my own life, natural rights given to me by our founding fathers. It would behove me to experience living on my own, to help me later in life. I appreciate everything that he has done for me, but it has come time to separate.
Good afternoon, I know you are struggling this year with the group of 8th grade kids. We had our first PBIS meeting yesterday and the 8th grade class come up for discussion. At first, we were thinking it was the whole class but through discussions it was decided that there are about 10-12 kids who are the leaders in making not so good choices. The team and I would like to put something in place for these kids to help this year either by implementing some kind of CICO or possibly a socials skills group for these top kids.
There were various different speakers from all kinds of backgrounds that came to speak to us during the semester. Each individual had their own unique way of viewing the ideas of death and dying depending on what profession they were in. it was interesting to see all the different ways that death has been thought about and portrayed over the years. The whole experience allowed me to see things differently depending on the way that each person saw the subject. On top of bringing in their specialties each speaker also brought their personalities to the guest lecture as well and it was so invigorating to see so much love and passion from these speakers.
The presentation that Billy gave to our section made me realize that sex can mean a whole lot. One of the topics Billy discussed that stood out at me was the different ages from 18-60+ coming into his store and acting different when they buy something or when the customers come in and they might be shy or very extroverted. This stood out at me
