Kathryn Slavick entered a speech about military veterinarians into the prepared public speaking competition at the District 7 FFA competition. The competition was held in Center, North Dakota, in the town’s Community Center on Thursday September 29, 2016. The audience was quite large and made up of several high school FFA members as well as three guests judging competitors on their speeches. The speech was meant to familiarize the audience with the history and responsibilities of a military veterinarian. The speech included an organizational pattern, a quality introduction and conclusion, with factual support, with a plain delivery.
Within the speech, the speaker had an order of importance organizational pattern. The speaker talked about the history, how to become one, what they do, and the importance of the career with a preview in the introduction and an overview in the conclusion. Throughout the speech, the speaker used specific citations and facts supporting each of the four topics in the speech. One of the facts being there are over 78 military veterinarians today. Moving between the support and topics, she used a variety of transition words and phrases such as: however, first, now that, furthermore, and many others to make herself easy

She started by gaining the attention with a statistic about military working dogs, followed by the topic and the importance of military veterinarians. She cited an article used and previewed what was to come in her speech. Inside the conclusion the speaker summarized, activated, and had good slam bam. She reminded the listener of the four main points followed by the audience activation. She said “Ask the student if they had considered being a military veterinarian.” getting the audience to do an action. After each statement there was a fact to support the statement. Not only did the intro and conclusion follow this, so did the
Her transition into her conclusion was not obvious, and it did not reiterate any of the main ideas from the body. Her closing sentence “We should be getting adults to start thinking more like children”, is an ironic and powerful statement. It would have closed the speech very well, if she had slowed down when she was speaking it. It sounded like she was going to tell us more, because of the way she said the last sentence. Because of this, there was a slight awkward pause between her ending and the audiences clapping. Despite the weird ending, I could tell the audience really enjoyed her speech. It was memorable because of the way she delivered her information, her use of visual aids, and it’s relativity to the audience. I feel the primary message was not only to inform about how children think, but also to encourage adults to be more open minded, imaginative, and creative. In other words, be more like a
I want to be an ambassador to help our school with gaining new students for Veterans Tribute. Along with helping future students get used to the school to help them with their decision of enrolling into our school or not and to help them become comfortable to VTCTA. Above all, I want to reresent the school by going to different schools and talking to students, and by showing how school life is

Thank you for serving. I can not tell how glad I am that you served in either the Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy, or the Coast Guard. From any of the wars, WWI,WWII,The Korean War, Persian Gulf War, The War On Terrorism (Afghanistan), the Iraq War, and the Texas Revolution. Thank you for serving. I cannot say how thankful I am that you made the ultimate sacrifice. I have no idea what you have been through in war. I am so grateful that you fought so we could celebrate veterans day, memorial day and all other holidays that only the U.S celebrates.
I would like to attend this year's Vet Camp because I do believe it will solidify my career in becoming a zoo vet. Attending the Vet Camp would let me see the North Carolina State University campus and the surrounding area. A third reason would be that it would let me get to know the career before even starting college. All three of these reasons I do believe are going to help in the near future in a variety of ways.
She states many of her opinions on how the press should stop telling and spreading false events and ideas in the newspaper. When given the chance she tells her audience journalist about how the American press about her feels and how she feels challenged by them. Overall, the beginning of her speech tells the audience how she is going to state information and how they should listen to
From a communication and speech analysis stand point Ms. Alexander kept her self poised, keep her tone of voice smooth and inflecting when she needed to drive certain points home. She kept the audience engaged by moving around telling personal anecdotes that related to her topic to allow the persuasiveness of her speech to drive home about the problem of the criminal justice system and race as a whole. Her first point that really captivates and hooks you in within a matter of minutes of listening to the speech is when she says, “ People of color are the main ones incarcerated…Put in cages and treated worse than animals.” Right their she captivates and audience that otherwise believe she's crazy talking about race in the criminal justice system. Ms. Alexander managed to captivate and all WHITE audience on a topic that most had already made up there minds on. Her speech was effective in that all statistics about her topic she
The issue that has been addressed throughout this study is veteran’s rights. The issue of veteran’s rights is still being pursued and is near and dear to me. Not only am I a veteran, but I come from a long line of men and women who have proudly worn the uniform in defense of our nation. Between the mindset of the American public, to the cases presented before Congress, this is an ongoing dilemma. Caring for our brothers and sisters in arms is the socially responsible thing to do. However, many roadblocks must be torn down before this can come to fruition.
A small-statured, older woman stood just below the stage addressing the attentive college students that were seated in the campus theatre. She answered various questions in an animated manner which created a relaxed atmosphere. The students felt comfortable enough that the questions flowed easily. She addressed many questions during her session, which ranged from light-hearted in nature to deeply inspirational. Below is a summary of a few of the exchanges between Mrs. Haymon and the audience.
The audience of the speech is the sophomores of the DC High School. That means that she needs to keep the speech relatively simple, as her audience isn’t very old. As mentioned earlier the speech was held during an educational event. That is the circumstance of the speech and under that she addresses the topic education. The purpose of the speech is to motivate the students to continue their education when they have finished high school in order to succeed later in life.
Your key challenge in a leadership position is taking care of the Soldiers entrusted to your care. Soldiers are our nation’s most important military asset. The Leader who sends the message that Soldiers don’t really matter will generally not be as successful in the long-run as the Leader who is genuinely serious about taking care of his/her Soldiers.
All of the branches of the military were represented during the ceremony. From the Army to the Air Force, each branch was present and accounted for. Whether they were actively serving or a veteran who served 30 years ago, each speaker shared their unique and individual experiences, like Peter Wedon who served as a drill sergeant in the Army for 13 years, or ______________ who served in the U.S. Navy during the war in Vietnam.
The roles of veterinarians in the foundations of our modern society is one of our culture’s best kept secret, the average citizen sees veterinarians as pet care takers, whose value is in the novelty to providing optional medical attention to the pets, belonging to those who can afford veterinary care.; and or support city ordinances by providing vaccination, and spay and neutering services to the local companion pet population. However, veterinarians fulfill many other roles that support our health care system, our department of defense, our agricultural system, and several scientific discoveries that allow society to move forwards.
It felt like she was individually talking to each one of us in the class and our age group encouraging us to vote. I could also tell that she had a strong passion for this topic from her tone and conferrable she was telling us this information. Lastly, I believe that Katia also had good “Logos” in her speech. The first fact that caught my attention was how there are consequences in not voting that effects who is elected for president. Previously, I did not know that and it is very enlightening to be more educated on this topic now. She also informed us of the November elections so we can register to vote and if she had not told me that, I would have not registered to
