Who I Am Speech By Patricia Broersma

I am someone that invariably has a vision of prosperity and is not afraid to take risks -- always willing to do anything for the better of myself and others. I can take initiative when no one else steps up and is ready to accept any of my own mistakes.

I march to the beat of my own drum. I also am unconventional and I think that this is an attribute. I do not fall in line behind others and I like to think about things differently than other people. I am a take-charge person and in projects, I love to prioritize and plan out what needs to happen to make the completed product. I am also good at following orders. When someone tells me to do something, I do it in an orderly and timely fashion.

Transition. Clara didn’t let her age or resources get in the way of her goals. She earned her own money to pay for her books by sewing and writing letters for neighbor who didn’t know how to read or write.

Everyday I demonstrate all 5 parts of character. I believe that everyone should be a leader and do what they believe in and not let anybody stop them from striving and doing good things. I always put others needs before mine and will help anybody or anything. I always turn things in on time and do my work. I don’t believe in last minute work, so I try to finish all my schoolwork as soon as I possibly can.

What makes us who we are, what drives our personality? Is it driven by deep seeded sexual desires or is it something a bit more mundane, something that while we still have no control over, is easily studied?

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.

My character is something I take a lot of pride in. I am known to be honest, kind, and playful. I enjoy having fun but I know my limitations. I know when enough is enough and when it is time to get work done. I think this is why I excel in public and community settings. I know how to make people laugh and feel good about themselves with just a smile. I am also very honest. Since a young age my parents have inspired me to be honest and grateful. I have great work ethic and enjoy being helpful. I am patient

I would describe my personality as diligent, fun loving, and adaptive. I enjoy spending time with my friends and my sorority, yet I have taken on a position within that sorority that requires me to be on top of nearly all details taking place. I enjoy working hard to make sure everyone else has a smooth-running sorority experience. I like to go with the flow and enjoy like as it comes!

Christine Caine’s speech at Passion is geared toward ending modern-day slavery and sex trafficking, and she makes her argument through the rhetorical development of the Christian Identity. Caine seeks to encourage her audience to adopt Christian values to change communities around the world. In positioning herself as a Christian, Caine works to establish credibility by using the Bible, assuming her audience will find the embodiment of truth within her speech. Caine makes her argument without using any statistical information to center the focus of her argument on scripture. Through referencing this scripture and offering anecdotes, Caine’s position then becomes powerful by equipping her audience with the ability to become directly involved

Above all, I would like to think that others see me as easily approachable. I love interacting with people, and I am always interested in having conversations. I want to be the type of person who is there to listen when needed. I strive to be an individual who is regarded as open-minded, inclusive, and trustworthy. My friends describe me as easy-going, and I enjoy making people laugh. I smile often

Living in the United States during the nineteenth and early twentieth century as a woman came with little political influence, but there were women like Susan B. Anthony who refused to be silenced.

Very few people are able to be recognized by their first name only: Oprah Winfrey is one of them. Oprah once shared what her formula for success is to Ladies Home Journal magazine, she said “Follow your instinct, that’s where true wisdom manifests itself”.

I like to look at myself as a genuine, thoughtful young lady. I’m a hard worker; I believe nothing is ever handed to you so you have to go get it. I worked hard to get to this point of my life and working even harder to get to the successful and graduate part of my life. I care more for some others than I do myself but I have a huge nonchalant attitude. I don’t really show anger or sadness much I always smile because I’m optimistic about life. I look at life as if something bad comes along, no need to dwell on it you can’t take it back so just move-on and improve what you did wrong if it’s possible.
