The Things We're Not That Great At




I will never be able to process a linear equation or complete a scientific notation problem without a bunch of struggling first.  That's the kind of thing I'm talking about today when I say "things we're not great at".  It could range from anything though.  Perhaps we're not too stellar at cooking, or our cleaning skills leave a lot to be desired.  Whatever it is, let's not focus on that for a few minutes....

Today, I'm here to pump you up, and I hope you'll take this to your friends and neighbors.  The basic message I hope to share with you is that there is something you're awesome at doing, and we can all share our "special skills" with others.  For example. let's say Bob is not good with reading, but instead he is an absolute whiz in the automotive shop and will have your brakes repaired in no time for prices so low you'd only dream of them.  Or perhaps Liza can't drive too well but in return she can whip up a mean taco salad.  Again, it's the little examples like these that define a person.  It should be about what we can do, not what we can't do.



I would like to invite you to let your talents shine today and everyday.  Maybe you failed Introduction To The Short Story in high school, but you can still write a mean five paragraph essay that gets the point across. Or maybe you're not too effective at turning your ideas into words, but you're still a kicka** communicator with your friends.  No matter what it is, let's all let our talents shine, and don't let someone back us into a corner of conformity or where we're too scared to speak up for ourselves or what is morally right/wrong.  Be your own person, and let your true talents shine!

What are your special talents?  Share them in the comments!  Maybe a video or a picture to show the world!

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?

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
