Benefits Of Public Speaking, And Activism

In society, we tend to anticipate one’s possibilities to the greatest extent. As Henry David Thoreau stated, “One is not born into the world to do everything, but to do something.” I believe my “something” is to impact my community by helping those who are either in need of help, or who are in quest for clarification.

Grade Point Average, in which they may not comply with by the end of their high school

The 2016 Presidential Campaign candidate, Bernie Sanders, believes in creating a better America. In proving to the American people, rich and poor, how great the country can be if all people vote for who is trusted best as future President of the United States. The political figures in government care about money and wealth, not the people. Bernard Sanders would be the best choice for President for the main reason that he is concerned about the issues in America that create inequality for the people. The issues addressed by this candidate will create social and economic equality.

“I have opinions that, frankly, a lot of people are thinking. They just won't tell people. They don't pollsters. They don't tell journalists. But they think it” (Lieberman). These are the words of conservative blogger and self-proclaimed “provocateur,” Milo Yiannopoulos. Yiannopoulos had been scheduled to speak at the UC Berkeley campus, but given UC Berkeley Police Department’s security concerns surrounding his appearance, the event had been cancelled. Yiannopoulos argues that his First Amendment right had been violated and vows to return for a future event, “Free Speech Week.” Additionally, Ku Klux Klan activist Chris Cantwell has been invited to speak. The University argues that due to Yiannopoulos’ past doxing activities and the threat of violence associated with his presence, it is not required to accommodate such speech. In this memo, I will provide legal precedents arguing that 1) “Free Speech Week” should be permitted to proceed with or without Chris Cantwell, 2) the associated KKK rallies should be permitted to proceed, and 3) a counter-argument addressing the strengthening of civil disobedience.

The largest homeless shelters have had to start limiting the amount of time a person can stay because of the increase in demand.

Most of my free time is spent involving myself within my community. I volunteer at Celerity Dyad Charter School, St. Odilia School, church youth group, and cleaning my community. I enjoy helping out since I know I’m improving my community. These experiences have helped me develop skills of interacting with people from different cultures. I also involve myself at school with Cooking club, Delta club, Spanish club, Dance team, Folklorico team, National Honor Society, and Bachata team. I will continue being an involved person because I get to experience different places and people.

The play Clybourne Park is a great example of not shying away from racial issues in literature. But it could also be deemed too controversial and overdone by some. Based off the play A Raisin in the Sun, it seeks to show the other side of the community from their perspective. The tensions between Russ’ family and the community are brought to light during the course of the play. His son had committed suicide after returning from Korea and this tragedy left a huge hole of hurt in their family. At first everyone pretends and hides their true feelings, just like the suitcase containing the suicide note left by their son had been locked. But as the conversation gets more heated the pretense-bubble bursts and the chaos is revealed. In this midst of this chaos, the issue of race is used as a basis to drive the play forward, not in the sense of resolution but realization. One of the main purposes of this play is to stir up the minds of the audience in a very blatant manner. Some sections might have been overdone, but the overall message was sent across. Is racism still a problem today as it was in the sixties? Ignoring it and hoping it goes away does not solve anything.

My most meaningful work is the work I do as Student Body and Senior Class President. When I first started as President, I was worried because the job I was taking on was a huge responsibility. Even though the job comes with many challenges, it is my most meaningful extracurricular activity because of the impact I am able to make on students and my school. SO far, I am the first President at Stockton Collegiate to craft an entire school constitution. This was very important to me because I want a system to be in place to support students and presidents to come. I was able to collaborate with administration, staff, and students to create a document that illustrates the wants and needs of all individuals at Stockton Collegiate. I am really proud

After doing extensive research, I found an interesting, fun, and adventurous way to get rid of all the stress caused by school.

The persuasive speech I viewed was titled “Implications of Social Networking and Text messaging”, which I immediately was drawn to which looking for a video on YouTube. It caught my attention because I use social networking and texting every day as a form of communication and wanted to know what was so detrimental to doing so. During the entirety of the speech, the speaker stayed true to the title. He talked about the negative outcomes of using too much social networking and texting but made sure to be credible with facts, and fun statistics throughout.
