My Second Day At Pendleton

One possible problem regarding organization was that I had too many sub points, and that caused me to go over the time limit. My speech might have been more memorable if I had chosen two points for each side and gone in more

I quickly moved from the door to First Sergeant Attaway’s room. I arrived there before anyone else did so I started to make my uniform cleaned up and spotless, along with going over the questions I thought might have been asked. There was plenty and I was not really prepared as I wanted to be, but I was going to do my best. Everyone else started to show up, putting on their uniforms or cleaning their uniforms. The judges walked in and we lead them to where First Sergeant was. We then sent everything we needed to the gymnasium we were going to be in. The flags, the harnesses, the rifles, the stands, everything we needed was right there. We then started off with a little talk from First Sergeant then we started off with the color guards. One with and one without a saber. We then moved into a group marching with and without rifles. After that were the questions, and then he flags. The flags have been the easiest part, since the whole group you were in, which was five people this year, were able to talk and help each other. We finally completed the day. None of us embarrassed ourselves and we made it out without anything awful happening. We put everything away and then talked about what happened at both the practices and the auditions. We were then finally able to go

Overall the process leading up to the speech was a great experience. Even though our group was close this speech was able to help us learn more about each other. This speech was able to help us understand each other and grow as a group. We learned how to work with each other and adjust work to fit everyone’s schedule. This was a great opportunity for us to show responsibility, teamwork, and leadership. We are satisfied with the grade we got on the speech because we put a lot of time into

I wake up. It’s the day of the show. I feel a nervous knot in my stomach and the pressure on my shoulders. I was the only person on my team to qualify for IEA Regional’s. Usually on show days we get up early and to the barn by 6 or 7. Today was different, I didn’t need to be there until noon. I couldn’t sleep though, so I got up and got dressed. The show was in Charleston, so my dad and I went the night before to spend time downtown. After breakfast we drove to Starbucks to buy some time before meeting my coach at the show.

I got one response back. Alexis said she could come as soon as she got off of work, but she would probably be late. At this point I didn't care how late, she was going to be, I was desperate. I even thought that I may need to borrow someone from a different team, anyone can stand with a smile on their face and greet guest right? I arrived at 3:30 to set up carts and check bathrooms, cause I knew our time was limited. We held our huddle in the eHQ hallway, we helped break down the child dedication and was in position by 5:30 to greet our guest, we were able to prep guides for Sunday WE and folded 2 boxes of shirts for resources. I have amazing team. They are dependable and have huge hearts. My team worked diligently to accomplish what we had to get done with what little resources we had. This experience was a great lesson for me and my team. It helped me realize that I can find a way, no matter the circumstances. Even though the odds were against us, we brought our A game and accomplished what we were set out to do, which is to help provide a welcoming atmosphere to all our

I want to attend West Point because of my belief in service. Every since I was a kid I wanted to be in the military and serve my country. As you can see from activities at the governor school, I enjoy community service. I believe attended West Point would be the next step in my journey to better my community. Not only do I want a great education, which West Point offers, I want to experience the Cadet life. I want to further my physical fitness, understanding of the world and different cultures, my development as moral person. The skills that West Point teaches line up with future career aspirations of working in the department of defense, CIA, United Nations Security Council, or becoming a politician. (I am not sure which one/s

I had everything planned out precisely at the beginning of the week. I scheduled my audience and my location. An hour before the presentation, a number of my audience members were called away to investigate criminal cases that came up. In addition, the room that I had scheduled had to be occupied by other members of the office. Therefore, within an hour or so, I lost my venue and audience members. I scrambled to find another location and audience members. Due to these circumstances, I feel as if this speech was not my best performance. I felt rushed and lost my focus on the material that I have been working on intensely for this assignment. I do not feel as if I gave an adequate representation of the American Hero Marcus Luttrell. I could have spent hours talking about his story and his determination to survive dire

The nurse said that patient could have two ice chips, so I went to get them and provided them to the patient. I then performed AM care of the patient. The patient also refused the bed alarm so there was no green light under his bed. After that I went to go help another nursing student with a heel dressing change. I also removed a Foley from a patient under the careful guidance and supervision of a nurse and our nursing instructor. At first, I was a little scared to remove a Foley mostly because I never did it before. But, once I saw another student do it, I was more confident in myself. I also had to look up and present in post conference about cholecystitis. Cholecystitis is an inflammation of the gallbladder and its common symptoms include severe pain in the upper right quadrant that radiates to the back or right shoulder. We then took an hour for break and then met for post conference. We reviewed our patients for the day, presented on our topics, and did some nclex questions for our upcoming

When it was brought to my attention that I was selected to give a speech, I freaked out. Throughout my four years of high school, and most definitely before that, I have loathed all of the moments where I had to speak in front of others. I could never seem to make those butterflies in my stomach dissipate and I would zoom through my presentation. This transpired whenever I presented, and, as my former English teacher Ms. Keisha Tooks-Riley put it, I would always ‘take that L.’ However, standing here, I hope to turn that L into a W today.

(11/9/17)-The event consisted of the filming crew of two, a question reviewer, speaker, myself and a live audience which consisted of school nurses. The host, myself, was expected to present the audience welcome and introduce the speaker.

There we met the Camp Director. I looked behind her, for there were a lot of boys and girls playing, having fun, and having conversations. I began getting anxious and nervous seeing all of them there.

I created my presentation which answered the prompt of how I would present a health and wellness proposal to a business of my choosing and why I would propose it in the first place. I practiced, I became nervous, and I worked through it. When the day of my competition arrived I was dressed in my finest business apparel and I arrived at Dover Downs at 8:00 in the morning. There were so many people there, students from so many schools, and the teachers along with them. The whole environment was a buzz with business and I absolutely thrived in it. I adored everything that had to do with this competition. When it came time for me to go present my proposal to the panel of judges I was so nervous that I couldn’t eat any of the lunch that was provided. I took an elevator up to where I was presenting, waited about 15 minutes and then walked into the room. I set up my equipment, took a deep breath and blew the judges away. I shocked myself with how confidently I presented myself and my proposal. I was friendly, professional, and able to answer every question the judges threw my way. One of the judges said he didn’t have a single question because I covered everything in my presentation and that,

So today I gave my third speech in class. It was my persuasive speech,which is a little harder than the rest. Simply because with the informative and bibliography speech I didn't have to convince or persuade the audience of anything. Therefore the  pressure was on, not to mention I had some errors that occurs in my last speech I didn't want to occur in this speech. I managed to talk for seven minutes ,which was a great accomplishments since I've always been a couple minutes short in my last speeches. I wasn't nervious this time around, because  I almost didn't get a chance to go. It was 11:44 and I had two people in front of me,therefore I was happy when I heard my name. I guess at that moment I wasn't worried about screwing up, I was more

Ariana, you are cheerful and motivated. You are not afraid to be vulnerable. You were the first one to present PPP and you were not afraid to question your team. You were not afraid to tell your team that you felt like an outsider. I think having this conversation helped you to be a part of that team and continue the good work. Your goal was to engage in conversations and experiences that make you feel vulnerable. I think you have made yourself feel vulnerable. You hold your teammates accountable to their work. I like that you share your progresses with the class. I have noticed that even when other groups are presenting, you ask them questions and give them good feedback.

Always judged by the top four english majors from the area. After what felt like three hours of waiting, and what was honestly no shorter than two it was finally my turn! When my name was called i walked to the front of the room and set up my stage to my liking, took a deep breath and turned around, usually this was all i needed to remove the frolicking butterflies from my turned stomach, but today i felt like i didn't need any of it! i was ready, i knew my competitors, I had my speech memorized to every rise and fall in my voice needed. To put it in short form i was ready to win! And i began on a perfect note, reciting every word on point and with no hesitation it was to be my best attempt yet! I finished with what i thought was a next to perfect performance and i was very proud of myself. I walked to my seat and the other competitors came to congratulate me, everyone in the building was expecting me to win after that, even the other competitors! I was
