Morris's Speech Lessons

Today is September 17, 2016, almost a year since my accident and I’ve come a long way since then. My ankles healed and I’m back to cheerleading with no complications, I’ve even been going to tumbling and working on my back handspring, which brings us here.

While living in the South, Richard refuses to accept the racial stereotypes imposed on him as a black man. He tries to fight for himself to create his own identity until realizing that his only hope was to leave the South. On his high school graduation, Richard shows his strong heart by reading his own speech, rather than reading the speech written for him by the principal. He remembers, “On the night of graduation I was nervous and tense; I rose and faced the audience and my speech rolled out. When my voice stopped there was some applause. I did not care if they liked it or not; I was through” (Wright 211). Richard refuses to accept white people talking for him, as the principal had tried to, and speaks up for himself. Rather than conforming

Bob and Nancy Cook moved to Bellevue in 1980 from Sidney, Iowa. Bob was a school principal and his wife Nancy was an English teacher. But all that changed in 1988 when Bob took a leap of faith and left the public education sector to start a new program in Omaha called Quality Living, Inc. Several families in the Omaha area were dealing with the issues of how to care for a child with a traumatic brain injury and were looking for an alternative to the traditional nursing home. They heard about a facility in northwest Iowa called Village West and decided to visit. Upon their return they set out to create a similar environment here in Omaha. Today, Quality Living is a one of the nation’s premier post-hospital centers for brain and spinal cord injury rehabilitation by embracing the concept that great rehabilitation is more than just the science of physical recovery – it is the art of rebuilding a life

Imagine a four year old child, whose physicians believed would never walk or talk, walking into a rehabilitation center unaided for the very first time. With wide smiles and tear filled eyes, therapists and staff stop to stare with awe and pride, because they have watched this small girl struggle to accomplish this milestone for years. Unfortunately, this outcome may not be typical; however this has happened at Mercy Rehabilitation. Here dedicated therapists work to give patients the skills needed to return to living life as they were able before an accident or injury, and help children living with special needs reach their full potential. To patients seeking rehabilitation services,

Meg Kellenberger senior psychology major and President of the Diversability organization said, “Many people notice disabilities immediately but pretend they did not because it is awkward...This was a good time for anyone to ask any questions that they were afraid to ask before.”

By this time I could no longer ambulate! My first consult was a complete multidisciplinary check up; nerve conduction, blood work, respiratory therapy breathing capacity, as well as physical and occupational therapy evaluations, all on Halloween day. We were called to return to the clinic two days later; November 2, 2011, to receive the dreadful diagnosis of ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). My reaction was, “well, at least I know now what I’m going to die from.” I was handed documentation to make legal arrangements and away we went.

Florence Kelley campaigns for stricter child labor law in the U.S., in her speech at the National American Woman Suffrage Association (N.A.W.S.A) in 1905, by using emotional appeals, anaphoras, and metonymy to apprehend the N.A.W.S.A attention to the unethical working conditions of children in the U.S. focusing on the state of Georgia creating a heavy hearted tone.

She wanted to help. Then she got scared.” Tears welled in his eyes. “She's a good person.”

I looked up and see Liam; he's so caring, all the time. I shake my head and look away. "I'm not feeling well."

In the play, Equus, by Peter Shaffer, Dysart speaks to “both the large in the theatre and the smaller one on stage”about his concerns. There the concerns that he addresses are that he feels as if he is “lost” and cannot reach his goals, like a “bit forbids it, and [his] own basic force…is too little” to overcome it.(18) Dysart is a commendable psychiatrist who works in a psychiatric hospital, and he is not completely . Dysarts initial speech has several effects such a establishing Dysart as a character, the speech also results in the establishment of the dramatic features of the play as a whole, for example, conflicts and theme.

In the recording of Emily's practice speech, she states that learning English is important because this will allow her to go to a university. Considering that both of her parents are attending graduate school and Emily is thinking about higher education at such a young age suggests that her motivation level is exceptionally high. Her home country, Korea, supports educational success through the idea that education defines one's socioeconomic status, health, and level of independence (asiasociety.org). Considering that her parents are both attending graduate school, they may have limited time to help Emily develop strong English skills in reading and writing. In addition to this, they are not learning the same English vocabulary that Emily needs

I look to where my pencil used to be to see it has vanished from sight. Bending down to check underneath my desk I see it lying a few inches away from my feet. “Emma?”

Through my experience's, I have valued having the opportunity of devoting countless hours of direct care to patients who have acquired traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries. It is the greatest honor to have the opportunity to care for others and for them to entrust in you- a complete stranger- to care for them when they are at their most vulnerable point. It is my passion to work with neurologically compromised patients and to be the hands that a person trusts when they need it most. I love and enjoy the interworking of the brain, structure, and understanding how each region of the brain responds once it is injured. Though my time at Craig I have had the opportunity to devote myself to patients when they do need in most, though the recovery and rehabilitation phases. I have encountered a vast array of different categories of brain injuries, different rancho level patients and have seen patient’s recovery when they have been at their lowest point in their lives. To this day, I still remember my hardest patients I have had and helped them back on their feet again.

Elder Richard G. Scott in a BYU speech in 1978 said "God answers prayers and gives us truth when we live obediently and exercise the requisite faith." When we exercise our faith, we are able to receive the answers that God needs us to receive. Sometimes we need to just be willing to ask the Lord what he needs us to do so we can be what he wants us to be. I love how He tells us how we can find truth. In this talk, he also talks about his experience in sciences. Being a nuclear submarine mechanic, he studied a lot with science. So I can imagine some of the things he had to sort out as a scientist. When talking about scientific method he said "The first let us call the scientific method. That involves a group of facts and statistics, combined

F. Change the reported speech into quoted speech. Example: Martha bragged to Fiona that she always ate lots of fresh fruit. Martha said to Fiona, “I always eat lots of fresh fruit.” 1.
