Debut Program

Everything had began magnificently the day I attended the renaissance fair. It was the first time I’d ever been to any festival of the sort, and the air was full of magic. At exactly 10:30 in the morning, the ceremony began. The King and Queen presented themselves atop the castle’s balcony to address their people. As the beautiful royals welcomed us into their kingdom, my heart beat erratically, and I crossed the threshold with my breath held. There were so many events that I wanted to see, and activities I wanted to try; I couldn’t wait to get inside. I wasn’t just an ordinary guest, however, I had a job to do. Carrying my instrument lightly with one hand, dressed as a princess and feeling important, I walked proudly through the bustling

Good evening. I would like to begin by welcoming each and every one of you to this joyous and stressful occasion.

I am both honored and flattered to have been asked to speak for this wonderful occasion. As I started to draft this speech, I thought, “What is the world am I possibly going to say?” (The majority of you listen to me speak enough during the day.) The word SUCCESS came to mind.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. On behalf of the bridesmaids, I must thank Donald for his kind words. I must also thank all of you for coming today - I know how hard it is to get a day release.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen, if you could please find your seats. Before I start I would just like to say thank you all for gathering here today to celebrate the life of Ida Tarbell, I am Alexis Carnell one of Idas close friends. We worked beside Abraham Lincoln for three years together. We traveled, laughed and had become very close over those short three years. Our friendship lasts till this day, she was my best friend. Looking back, I wish we would've met sooner, she was the type of person to get you to laugh for hours upon end no matter what mood you were in, she was so smart, I never once have seen her upset of mad at anyone or anything. She was the most patient women in the world. Im sure we all have life long memories with her.

Giving the floor to the audience to ask questions of the six panelists, Jasmine Gima, Miss Blythe 2017, reminded everyone in the room that “You’re amazing and you have a unique and important perspective. Assume the best in each other.”

“It is my pleasure to present Sara Brown who has been installed as Honored Queen for the ensuing term.” As I hear this through the clapping and cheering I thought to myself “What have I gotten myself into?” Well now let me explain, I am in a Masonic youth organization called Job’s Daughters. It is a girls organization for young women between the ages of 10 and 20. Through this organization we teach others leadership, confidence, community service, and love for our parents and guardians.

My family--two daughters, sons-in-law, and three grandchildren--had gathered at my favorite Italian restaurant to celebrate my birthday. They stood and clapped when I swept into the room. I smiled, pleased that I could still make an entrance. “Hello, everybody. Thanks for coming.”

Hello everyone! It is such an honor to be here tonight. As the presenter said, my name is Abby Hill. I am currently a US History teacher at Amos Alonzo Stagg High School of Dist.230 in Palos Hills. I would like to say a quick thank you to my colleagues and other people who have helped me along the way. Thank you to the teachers who have inspired me to become a teacher. Most importantly I would like to thank the Golden Apple

Young ladies and gentlemen began to dance and swirl around the center of the ball room while Karolina and her friend were approached by two distinguished ladies. They made their introductions and inquired about Karolina, for they recognized Anna and her husband. They observed Karolina’s simple hairstyle and lack of jewelry. Anna proudly explained to them she was a friend from the Grand Duchy of Baden and described the wedding of Princess Marie both attended back in Mannheim. The two women were suitably impressed as Anna described the members of royalty they had seen. After they left, Anna squeezed Karolina’s hand and mouthed the words “Thank you” to her as other women slowly came up to both them.

"I wanted to welcome and thank you all for attending the first annual Cotillion Ball - an event intended to bring to light the importance of courtesy and decorum. For those of you who attended Courtly dance classes, this is your opportunity to show off what you learned, and for those who didn't hopefully, you shall next year!" she stated after welcoming all to the event.

The todlers are bouncing woth joy when the guest of honor walks into the living room. The marvelous princess sprinkles pixie dust over the children before she rolls in dessert. The chocolate cupcakes fill the room with an aroma strong enough to make the kids druel. They grab eagerly at the cupcakes and procede to shove the cupcakes into their mouths. Without a care in the world, they wipe off their messy faces with the rough material of their extravagant costumes. Laughter fills the room when one of the children belches long enough to say the

Today she spent hours having her hair and makeup done to perfection and is cloaked in a big poofy dress she has dreamed of since she was a little girl. She makes her way to the ballroom in a beautiful white limousine. The doors of the limousine are opened by her main Chambelan, or escort. He holds out his hand to take hers and says, “Today is your day, beautiful.” As she makes an entrance through the ballroom doors, her heart is pumping fast and all have their eyes on her. She can’t help but think that it is all too good to be true. She waited so long and often thought this day would never come, but today is the day. She finally turns fifteen; today is the day of her forever dreamed of Quinceañera. A Quinceañera is a celebration that is

Estela parent’s played a huge role in her educational outcome. Her parents believed that having an education will open bigger and better opportunities for a job. Even though her parents didn’t know why they wanted her to get an education, they instilled the idea in her head. Language caused a problem when she first started school because all she knew was Spanish and everything we teach here is in English. After a while, she was able to understand it with the help of her teachers and bilingual classes. Throughout her whole education career, she has kept her culture and language active. She went traveled to Spain to learn more about her culture.
