This I Believe Final

Many people talk about how their families have led them to where they are and how they have shaped them into who they are. Others talk about sports and how it has taught them valuable life lessons. Today, I’m here to share with you something a bit more unique and interesting. While a huge chunk of the world is so invested in doing things with “friends” or whoever it may be, it may be causing them to lose their identity. Being so attached to social media, phones, and celebrities is clearly very distracting for almost everybody. I, however, am not one of those people which is why I am going to talk about how it is poisonous. Too many people are worried about what so and so is up to or recent news on this celebrity. They are so caught up and lost in what people around them or what famous people are doing that they get off track in their own lives and what’s really important. Following up on the Kardashians isn’t going to help you get to where you want to go. For the most part, there is simply no reason to be worried about what any celebrity is doing as it will only distract you from your goals. It will lead to too much daydreaming about where you want to be instead of working towards it. Spending more time alone or close family, relaxing outdoors, and dedicating almost every hour of your day to yourself can be beneficial. You can find out a lot about yourself by doing this or at least more time with close family. Putting yourself first is something that I think is very important and is something that will keep you focused on life in general. To achieve your goals and be successful it is crucial to believe in what you are doing and the few close people around you.

"This I Believe" Reflection

The most important aspects of a good "This I Believe" are creativity, good grammar, and organization. The well written speeches were unique which makes it a lot more interesting to read. In a typical speech, the writer will talk about how their family is important or how sports have shaped them into the person they are today. This is extremely boring to read or listen to because it is so basic and they all sound the same. Grammar and organization is also very important because it shows that the writer took their time and care about what they wrote. One of the speeches I read was hard to follow and made the writer seem like he didn't really care or believe in his speech because of his poor grammar, but his organization was good so that made it easier to read. If the speech isn't organized you get lost and it makes it hard to comprehend what you're reading.

"How to" Speech rough draft

Hi everybody, today I’m going to teach you how to surf in CS GO. CS GO is a first person shooter game and there is a side game that’s called surfing. So you’re probably confused and asking what the heck is the point of this? Well the objective is to go from rail to rail or ramp to ramp in order to get to the end of the map. First off, you’re gonna start on a platform and obviously to jump off you have to run forward holding the W key. After you’re on the first ramp, if the ramp is on the left side of your character hold A, and D if the ramp is on the right. NEVER hold W after you jump off the platform. From now on, jumping from ramp to ramp you need to synchronize ever move with a key. For example, if you move your mouse to the left you have to hold A and if you move your mouse to the right you have to hold D in order to move your character correctly. Secondly, the other very important aspect is angling. You have to try to land on the ramps almost parallel almost like you’re floating because that will give you a great amount of speed. If you slam against the ramps or our not being smooth it will kill your speed and you will never be able to get to the end of the map.

Teach A Skill

For my presentation, I will teach the class how to surf in a game called CSGO (Counter Strike Global Offensive)

Shortened Speech

Hi my name is Mark Thompson. Growing up on a horse and cattle ranch in east Texas, I have an idea of what hard work and discipline looks like. I can relate to the hard working blue collar citizens of this country. At the same time, I have a good combination of experience, business, and understanding of the citizens which makes me the best candidate for president. Trump has no experience in government and Clinton is a walking fallacy. I have plenty of experience working in the government and running a business. I ran my own business doing Real Estate in Florida. My company has over $5 billion in annual sales. Also, I have worked with Obama and Joe Biden in passing the health care reform. To me, the most important problems that need to be taken care of are securing the borders going after targets more aggressively, and bringing back manufacturing jobs.Having secure borders in our country is vital along with going after targets very aggressively and working on getting the 4 million lost manufacturing jobs back.
