A lot has happened over the past few days. Finals are nearly over and I only have like almost 3 weeks left of school. Much of which is preparing for high school. Like all of you guys have said, high school is a challenge, and I believed that 100%. I know very well that there is a huge challenge approaching me soon. That’s why I want to get myself mentally prepare in order to conquer this quest.
Remember that speech essay I told you guys about? Well, I am 85% completed. It took me nearly 30 mins just to think of what to write for the first 2 paragraphs of my speech. I swear, I my brain was frying as I sat there with a blank expression thinking of what to type next. In the end, I managed to weave my way through the essay. I’m wrapping up everything now so that’s good. My essay will have a total of 5 long paragraphs back-to-back. Hopefully it won’t bored the audiences’ head off. Anyway here is an excerpt:
Greetings to all parents, teachers, staff, and fellow graduates. My name is Emily [last name] and I am one of the eighth graders here at [school name]. Throughout the courses of my life I have never experienced such joy and excitement until I set foot at this phenomenal school. Being a member at [school name] is truly a standing ovation. For the past few years that I have been to this school, a lot of remarkable and sensational events have occurred. Looking back, I still remember the days where school was just a playground in my point of view. I’m always hyped up, and I never had the thought of doing something great with the abilities I have. Every single lovely morning I wake up thinking, “Oh, it’s just another day of school and another day of being plain and bored.” [school name] successfully changed that for me wonderfully. This excellent school has sparked a light in my candle of knowledge. My work habits began to improve, I became even more socializing towards other people, and I’ve conquered basically all of the weakest subjects in my education. Day by day, I have continued to advance through almost everything that I could possibly can. There are so many wondrous aspects I want to state about [school name]. As desperate as can be, I want to show everybody with my heart how I feel about this school. It’s like the second home in life. This is the place where I am together with friends, and share many memorable memories. Most importantly, it is a place where I could be myself.
^ This is the first paragraph of the speech. I didn’t want to copy and paste everything because, it will surely fill up a whole lot of space in this blog. Tell me what you think of the introduction so far. I really do need some honest feedbacks before I turn this in to my teacher.
That’s all there is left to say as of now. Tomorrow, oh yes; I will blog a million because a lot of exciting things will be taking place at my school (:
