Graduation Speech: 2016 Madison County Fair Queen

Robberies, violence and drug-dealing transgressions are a constant fear of many. The decent families although opposed to the norms of the ghetto, encourage their children to understand and respect the code of the streets in an effort to protect themselves. Also, many youths in the inner-cities try to behave as others within their sub-culture. A child might dress or speak a certain way that a race is labeled to be standard to fit in. For example, a Caucasian individual may dress in baggy clothes and speak in slang in public to imitate what people label the African American youth to be uniform. However, this individual in some instances could act completely different at home or in other environments such as family gatherings or church.

My first goal is to graduate from high school on June 3, 2017. I have been on the honor roll yearly of high school, so I plan on graduating with distinguished honor roll. After graduation, I plan on attending Indiana University of Pennsylvania in the fall of 2017. I am going to college for a dual certificate in Early Childhood Education with Special Education. While in college I plan on participating in a study abroad program, in hopes to learn more about other countries and their cultures. I am interested to see how the education differs from the United States and other countries, this will improve my knowledge of education and help me in the future with a career in this field. This could set me apart from others when applying for jobs.

Tolerance and acceptance will never be the solution, nevertheless teenagers will continue to be influenced by anything they perceive and pick up, but know the question is where. Our foundations for our life long values are all taught to us. Early stages are when we get molded to what we see is right but where are teenagers being lead today?

I love attention, but I live in fear that someone will google me and find my glamor headshots. I still have close friends that don’t know I subjected myself to competing in the Miss Alaska’s Outstanding Teen Scholarship Pageant. When I told others in the past, it was more often than not followed by, “You? You did a pageant?” Movie cliches and stereotypes of pageants paint the exact image of what I am not. Except, I had decided pageantry was the only way to provide myself the validation any girl starting high school believes she needs. I was enthralled with the opportunity to advocate, perform, win thousands of dollars in scholarships, and most importantly, value my self-worth solely on how I looked.

I plan on taking my college beyond the imaginable. I hope to get a multiple degrees, so that I may be able to have multiple careers. It may see impossible but as long as I can put my mind to it is possible. The only thing that can stop this from happening is me myself and I. I plan to help the world in varies ways.

As children become teenagers/adolescents, they begin to see the world more realistically. They also begin to see the flaws in the ideas of those of higher authority and therefore begin to question what is right. As a result, they rebel and challenge authority. They also form their own point of views while in the process of finding themselves. Although many youth rebel, not all youth do. Many conform and believe that they must respect the ideals of older generations. Some current examples of youth rebelling include driving fast, breaking curfew, arguing, and shoplifting.

My name is Kieanna Brown, I met you at the Hood College Community Service Fair. Due to my school schedule I am unable to be a museum teacher; however, I am still interested in being a docent. I was informed that I need to go to orientation and then do training. When is the next orientation and docent training? I look forward to your response.

I would like to go to college for Spanish Education because I still remember my excitement at the thought of one day being able

I am only able to reach as much as God intended me too. In five years, I see myself as working with the Red Cross or Peace core to get a chance to really see the crucial effects of international or global conflict and help that way. With my degree in International Relations, I work with an international organization like the Peace Core to achieve the third-world country into improving the economic and social development. I than would desire to maybe go back into Pre-Law to really learn the different laws and bills that are country was created upon. From here, I hope to work as a social work for a couple years to get a better understanding of education system that the United States has to offer. I think that to work with other countries to help them

Teenagers are treated like unimportant members of today's society because apparently since they are going through some changes like being hormonal and don't have experience with certain situations that they are not entitled to their opinion. When in reality adults tend to make outrageous ideas while teenagers are some of the most innovative people there are making it easier for them to come up with a creative solution for problems. Everyone believes that all teenagers are rude and disrespectful, but when in certain places like fast food chains the ones I see being rude are the old adults that are hypocritically calling teenagers rude. There are so many instances where I have seen kids being brushed aside for wanting to voice their opinion.

Welcome to FSCJ! What part of Ohio are you from? By the way I salute to you and your husband for protecting and serving our country. Congratulations on completing your AA degree. I know it may have been a little challenging with your spouse being in the military, always relocating and having a little one. The name of this class does appear to be challenging. I read the syllabus and asked myself what did I get myself into. This class probably needed to wait, because all the stuff I have going on in my life. I work full time, I have two kids, married, and in school full time. Appears to be a lot on my plate, but I am determine that I will do whatever is necessary to pass this class. Well I wish you the best and I look forward to working with

Sven Mørch agrees that the ‘68 generation’s otherwise positive confrontation with the authorities is the main reason for some of today’s teenagers’ lack of appreciation and respect for other people.” (Karkov). The research done on these college students shows that many people are not willing to help people, they are more self centered. If it does not benefit the individual person they are less likely to help. Even simple gestures such as holding the door open for someone. Many times people get the door slammed into their face because someone wouldn’t hold the door. These actions are developed from watching other people the children look up to, such as parents. If their parents do not display the respective and appreciative behavior the child is less likely to. The kids must not only see the gestures performed but must also be taught how to properly use them. Doing chores at the home or farm is less seen in today’s time. Hard work and labor has seemed to have disappeared. Families that lived on farms needed their children to come home straight from school to help on the farm. If they did not live on a farm the family needed someone to do house cleaning. Today, families hire a house cleaner to clean their house for them. Sometimes dishes and laundry will around for weeks before being washed or

Good evening. I'm Angelica Fernandez, I'm 17 years old (09/13/1999). Today I went to the NJ College Fair. I talked to the admission counselor, Ms. Courtney Agyeman, about my Rider application, told her that the status of my visa was F2 when I submitted it because I didn't know which one to select, since my Green card hadn't came until two days later after the application's deadline. She suggested that I should send her a photo of it. I couldn't send it to her email since I got a problem with that (Gmail says that the email address doesn't exist), so I hope there's no trouble sending it here. It is attached to this

Teens in todays society are often at risk of abusing substances, getting into trouble, and causing violent scenes. They also are still trying to discover who they are, what interests them, who to hang around with, and just discover themselves. But an issue people debate about is the actions that teens choose to do. Many teens often hangout in groups at a variety of locations such as houses, parks, the mall, and other places such as a recreational center. Although teens may not see harm in being out and about with friends, adults may think otherwise. Some parents may be worried where there kids are or what they're doing, other parents may just say, "Let them be kids", and others
