Speech 2016

This last year I joined the Cherry High School Speech Team and preformed in the storytelling category, adapting fifteen folktales into my own storylines and using whatever voices I found suited for them that sounded different from my narrator voice.  I had a lot of fun and got really far with it! 

Next year I have decided to try something new and enter in creative expression.  My current plan is to write a story involving several of my friends as well as myself that will be a re-write of a certain point in my HS career, whether that's my time at Walmart, time spent at camp, or something from my five years at Cherry.   I say re-write because it has to be turned into something interesting in order to keep the interest of the judges. 

I am looking for willing people to be part of the piece, in main and supporting roles.  By signing up this is what I'd be doing with the fictitious version of you in my piece. 

  • Giving you a voice.  I can never get close to the original voice, so I tend to just throw in a voice and see what sticks.  You might be Scottish and you might be Irish.  Maybe you sound like Brad Pitt for all I know! 
  • Writing you in wherever you may be needed.  I'm not sure who will go where, but once that's all taken care of we start writing. 
  • Your fate.  Fictitious you may have something happen to them that wouldn't happen in real life.
I hope some of you might be interested, and then we can go out there and create something awesome! Have a great evening!

Here's what you do in your college public speaking class.  These videos are me when I gave the speeches.  We were asked to pick a community issue, from which I chose the EBT Program and how it needs reform, and then I later collaborated with Andrew Olfelt to give a speech on education reform here in America.  I hope you enjoy the speeches :) Speech of Introduction - Given 9/9/2016 Informative Speech - Given 10/7/2016 Team Persuasive Speech - Given 11/18/2016

A Post About Snow

Image
Snow is something many of us seem to be bi-polar about, myself included.  We love it when the first snowfall of the year graces it's way through our area, but by March we're sick of it and ready for Spring.  It coats the roads, causes car accidents, and sends people to supermarkets in droves, because everyone's worried that this will be the last time they ever make it out of their house for the next few days, which never really seems to be the case thankfully. Regardless of that though, lots of us love a good snow.  Think of the things we have to be thankful for when the snow flies.  We are now able to go (if there's enough snow), sledding, skiing, have snowball fights, and build snowmen. There are tons of things to do when that first winter storm hits, and we should enjoy it while we can.  I've been regretting not being able to take part in Winter activities these past few years due to my numerous prior commitments, but maybe this will be the year

TikTok: Why.... Just Why?

Image
It's a day off and I'm sitting at home scrolling through the Snapchat stories of my friends and co-workers.  I'm just leaving one person's story and moving onto the next, but first I have to watch an advertisement, because Snapchat needs to make money somehow doesn't it? I look at the screen, and for some reason a teenaged dude is just chilling there in a white suit and clown makeup lip syncing to some song I've never heard of before.  The screen is split though, so you know someone else must be coming to join him, right?  Well low and behold not even five seconds later another teenager in a black suit with his hair groomed to resemble a sheep and blue/black skin steps in and starts lip syncing to another part of the song where a different person seems to sing.  The ad cuts out not long after that, and I'm back with my Snapchat stories. If you haven't guessed already, the ad is for smartphone app TikTok , which allows it's users to video rec
