Rebecca Black Informative Speech

Thank you very much for your generosity! Honestly, there are no words to accurately express my humble gratitude for this remarkable gift offered by you, Marion and Anne Williams. I'm soon to be an undergraduate at Virginia Tech, and I plan to both major in Astronautical Engineering and minor in Computer Science. Ever since my early childhood, I've always been fascinated by the unknowns of space. For instance, it's quite hard to imagine looking at something as massive as Jupiter when you're only given images on Google. Although the images are tremendous, just looking at the planet with your very own eyes could make an astronaut out of anyone. Yet, I'm not actually looking forward to be an astronaut. It's been my dream to work at NASA, but it's

Today nearly 40 percent of shark species are threatened with extinction. One of the dangerous sharks is the tiger shark. Bethany Hamilton was a 13 year old girl she was attacked by a tiger shark. Although Bethany Hamilton got attacked by a shark she showed resilience in chasing her dream to go surfing.

The Iowa State Fair Queen is, in my opinion, one of the most influential women for the State of Iowa. She serves her state proudly and represents the youth in a way nobody else can! The State Fair Queen is the heart and soul of Iowa, and proves to be an outstanding role model for the youth and all communities. By being selected as my county’s Fair Queen, I am beyond grateful to be able to be in the running for the 2015 State Fair Queen. I adore being there for others and lending my hands wherever I go. I am constantly on the go as traveling is a love of mine, as well as public speaking. In the future, I plan on going into Communications with the intentions to help others and being someone they see as someone to go to. The Iowa State Fair is a

Judith Beveridge is a poet of great detail. Her poems are written with strong use of language. Strong imagery of her observations and contrasts of her views help create her poems meaning and effect on the reader. Beveridge’s texts are valuable to the understanding of human and nature’s precious life, and her appreciation for life in all. Through her two poems ‘the domesticity of Giraffes’ and ‘the streets of Chippendale’ these both communicate her ideas and values the strongest.

Relevance Statement: According to the CDC, 62% of women of reproductive age are currently using a contraceptive. This number has drastically risen over the years as a result of advanced medicine and availability to all women. This would not have been possible without the work and dedication of Margaret Sanger.

Thesis/Central Idea: The three specific things about Zora Neale Hurston that makes her influential/admirable include being a key figure in the Harlem Renaissance, an anthropologist, and an American writer regarding folklore.

A hero to us is someone who influences the general public in a positive way even though they aren’t physically there. We consider Beyonce as our hero because she leaves a great impact on the music industry and teaches women and girls to not be ashamed of themselves.She also gives an image of self love and respect by not being ashamed of her body. Beyonce is the type of person that actually admits that she isn’t perfect and by doing this it gives something other people can relate with . This makes her of a more realistic hero to them. Beyonce is also a supporter of the LGBT community which tells people that she doesn’t judge.Not only that, through her music her she teaches young girls and women to be powerful and to know that they are are just

You’re invited to one of the biggest and highly anticipated cultural months of the year- Black History Month. Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by black Americans and a time for recognizing the central role of African Americans in U.S. history. Today marks the first day of Black History Month and we are so excited to announce all the great things happening this month.

The session that I attended was Dolores Huerta speech, which was very interesting. Dolores Huerta was born on April 10, 1930, she is a labor leader and civil rights activist who, along with Cesar Chavez, co-founded the national Farmworkers association, which later became the United Farm Workers (UFW). Huerta has received numerous awards for her community service and advocacy for workers, immigrants, and women’s rights. She is truly a leader, working tirelessly to help the poor and women and children. She talks about war, genocide, Mass incarceration, and poverty. During her participation in non-violent protest she was arrested 22 times trying to make changes in society. Her main question was what can we do as people to solve things in the

“Are school lunches healthy enough?”says Michelle Obama.So Has First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move campaign actually reduced childhood obesity rates? That’s a $4.5 billion question whose answer appears to be “NO.”“Michelle’s Let’s Move partnership with schools, businesses, and local leaders has helped bring down childhood obesity rates for the first time in 30 years,” the president said. “Helped” is the key word there, because the figures the White House is using cover a period of time that barely overlaps with Let’s Move.This WAS helping but schools have already dropped out of it as they are throwing away”unhealthy food” wasting it all

Attention getter- “can you imagine home much it must have hurt Mr. Alexander when you stuck that knife right into his chest?” asked Juan Martinez to Jodi Arias after she complined of the pain from her cut finger.

Imagine back to your childhood. Life was probably simple for most of us, being able to play with our friends and having a stable home. Obviously not everyone has a perfect childhood, but what if someone was extremely poor, went back and forth from homes, was raped at age 9, and got pregnant at age 14, just to have their son be still born. Yet with all this happening, still became one of the most successful people in the world. Who is this person I am referring to? It is Oprah Winfrey.

Bella Rath is a person you should definetly want to get to know, she has so many creative ideas, especially her favorite combination of eating rice with catchup. Have you ever tried that before? There is so much more to the beautiful Bella Rath than you would think. She has her own way of doing everything, and describes her feelings and herself very well. Also she appears to be a very confident young lady. I found this out when I asked her what the most embarrassing moment was in her life and her response was “ I do not hold onto to the embarrassing things, only the positive moments.”

While on The Bachelorette, it was obvious that Jordan Rodgers doesn't get along with his brother Aaron of the Green Bay Packers. Aaron never showed up on the show when it was time for the family to meet JoJo Fletcher, who would later become his fiance. People shared that Aaron Rodger's family is now speaking out about why they don't get along. It doesn't look like this family is ever going to end up fixing their issues. His father Ed Rodgers recently did an interview and shared some of the details about what is going on with their family.

Hi, I’m Yasmine and I’m 20 years old. I discover Black Veil Brides a little over a year ago, but wish I found out about your band sooner. I been in and out of depression for many reasons for so long. I usually isolate myself from everyone mainly all of my life, I depend on music for company and comfort. Whether I had a bad day or not I’m always listening to Black Veil Brides or your solo album.
