Graduation Speech : The Fall Of 2010

I am an active member of my school and community. At school I feel that i've gained the respect of my peers being elected as Student Council representative for the past four years. I have also been elected the treasurer of the choir, and secretary of the band. I am part of the Ross Middle School bucket drumming group and have been casted as part of the school theatre’s annual play. After school on Wednesdays I assist Ms. Rullman in helping students with homework and enhancing study methods. I am currently participating in science olympiad and have in the past. I am also an anchor on the popular Good Morning Ross Middle School weekly news show. In addition, I have been a part of National Junior Honor Society which takes part in service projects

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you back to another academic year here at Prince George’s Community College. As our students return to campus and our faculty and professional staff prepare for the busy weeks and months to come, I wanted to take a few moments to look ahead to an exciting fall term and beyond, as well as share a few of the College’s highlights from the past year—a year that has seen us continue our growth and evolution into one of the most dynamic and exciting institutions in the region.

It was 6 a.m on a saturday morning, she was huffing and puffing while her free runs rolled on across the cold pavement. She knew that after a few weeks off, getting in shape would be one of the hardest parts. From a soccer field to a basketball court, from her feet to her hands, she knew she had a lot of work to do. Everyday after school it escalated from 10, to 15, to 50, to nearly 100 jump shots, free throws, and long hours with her former-all star, three sport athlete of a father. He had high expectations for her and she knew that he wanted her to make the team more than she did. “Fix your elbow. Jump higher. Box out.” Correcting her on every mistake, he wanted to live the high

How are you doing? This is Will, the tall black guy you would sometimes see in service. I'm writing to say goodbye. My project in Carson City came to an end and I've moved back to Texas. Thank you so much for making me feel at home at Hope. Your messages kept me going while I was in Reno. God used your words to truly bless me and also show me where I need to improve. Sorry I didn't get a chance to say goodbye in person, but everything happened so fast.

First off I just wanted to say thank you for your service because if it was not for you we would not be writing essays right now. I just have to say, I like the words of Abraham Lincoln’s quote who said, “My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope on earth.” I love the word “Dream” and the part of the quote about the “America’s best and last hope on the earth.” The best last hope on earth makes me happy to read because I believe it is true. America’s gift to my generation is hope.

I don’t even know where to start with this State of the Union Speech. I thought it was incredible. It was well written and wasn’t full of bogus. As a kid who is confused, and sometimes even scared of politics, I could understand it. One major thing that stood out to me was the talk about America’s strength. My fellow students at school have no faith in our country, and always go around saying, “Obama sucks!” I always knew that they were wrong, but sometimes watching the news, I worried. It seems nothing good is ever happening. Reading the President's speech, I now know some of the truth, and it has calmed my worries. Another thing that stood out to me was the climate change stuff, that is a big worry of mine. Yes, it has been proven true

To better ready myself for the upcoming season, I ran almost every other day with my dad. One Saturday morning we went for a 2 mile jog and I was honestly struggling to keep up with him. The last stretch before we got to our house, my dad asked me if I wanted to race, of course I accepted the challenge. In an instant I felt the worst pain I had ever felt in my life in my ankle and fell to the ground. Once I was able to catch my breath, my dad held me up as I slowly limped home. I guess my mom saw us coming up the driveway because I could see the panic in her face when she met us at the door with a big bag of ice. As I cried a river my dad, who is the know it all of the family, assessed the damage. He declared it sprained yet I knew from the pain that it was much worse than that. The next morning I woke up to a softball for an ankle, before I knew it I was on my way to a bone and joint

Good Morning. Hope your Friday 2/10/2017 finds you well today. So Terry, I believe it almost 3 weeks casting and I try sending to the web week ago, I sent a letter in answer for Hope and Naomi. Even fought whether send the letter to find someone would respond probably and because no one got back to me could you please answer... Then when we got home last night 2/10/17from practice Naomi asking again did someone call, did we receive message it would ok that no call ,if no every said that everyone would receive word. No tears, this week like last week or; they said would call everyone, and even If they did not get in. Hope Elizabeth has slightly autism so she’d believed people when they have said something is going to happen like calling, they

Finally, it was track season again. I wasn’t nervous, had all the confidence in the world, considering that I made the team my freshman year of high school; I figured I would make the team my sophomore year. The amount of excitement I had for tryouts was ridiculous. Numerous times, my dad listened to me talk about track season and upcoming tryouts.

Good afternoon, faculty, parents, and students of Mt. Pleasant Community High School. I would like to read a quote from William Jennings Bryan, former United States Secretary of State: “Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved”. Today we are taking a little trip down memory lane. Today, lets remember our past, embrace the present, and hope for the future.

As the summer of 2014 came to an end I was looking forward to the quiet, still days ahead. For the first time in twenty years I had a planned break, my calendar was intentionally cleared for the rest of the year. For as long as I could remember my life was like a roller coaster traveling full speed in constant motion through ups and downs, a break was imperative. A couple years earlier without preparation I took a life altering risk, I quit my job of fifteen years to home school my youngest son who was struggling to survive amongst many learning challenges after a disheartened school meeting. Learning how to endure day to day was met with a set of new challenges, from trying to teach a difficult child to read, to figuring out how to budget

I never wanted to see my fathers face as I would always look at him as if he was in prison, I mean thats where he should be anyway. I could soon see that he wasn't taking me to my basketball games and I would just walk to the stadium my self. I could soon feel the darkness of my father over coming me, I wanted to find brightness to conquer the emotions. I soon started hanging out with my coach as he was what made my life style brighter. My coach always knew I was down, and would try cheering me up by teaching me good moves, and he would just muck around like any real father would. Thats why I loved being around him, he always teaches me good morals in life and he just felt like a dad to me. But I came home from one training session and I went and saw my father, and I said. “dad why don't

Growing up I had been told that college would be this amazing adventure that I would partake in and my one job was to make sure that I got in and did my homework. I came to a quick conclusion that college life is not as glamorous as I have heard from different people. When I realized that I was going to be a student, I had no idea that there were so many different components that went into it. Being a student in college is not as easy as it was in high school. As a college student there are more responsibilities. A student in college has to manage their time, in order to; do homework, manage an adult life, and go to class.

As an educator, I am preparing to enter a classroom with many different cultural backgrounds. The first artifact that I chose to use to demonstrate my knowledge of Standard 4 of the CDLE endorsement was an interview I conducted as a piece of a presentation given to the class over Foster Care. The student I interviewed for this was a 10th grade student that is currently a part of the foster care system because she is a refugee from Ethiopia. English is her third language. She is actually very proficient at all of her languages, but uses a handheld translator when she reaches a word she does not understand. These words are usually higher level academic vocabulary words. She was married just before leaving Ethiopia and came here to get a better education. The only reason she is able to stay in the foster care system is she is under 21 and currently enrolled in high school. She attends school with 4 other student from her foster home all of whom are in the 10th grade. I was surprised to hear about that struggles she has had directly related to the foster care system. She works full time to buy the things she needs like clothes. Her foster parents provide only food and shelter to the foster children living in their home. This while their natural children are well taken care of and have their own rooms. The girl I conducted the interview with is the highest achieving of the others she lives with. I believe that it is because she chose to leave Ethiopia on her own to better her
