Text of Speech
My name is Paige S and am here at our high school as a freshman of the class of 2014. I have been lucky enough to experience all different types of outdoor adventures. From the start my parents loved to travel but when I was five years old I started to get involved in all types of activities from whitewater rafting in Kernville to galloping horseback threw the beaches of Mexico and much more entertaining places. I look forward this year in trying new activities during my four years in high school.

I have many goals in life, but being successful in school is a big part of that. First of all math I would like to understand all the concepts that Ms. Rocca will teach us. In Spanish, I hope to speak the language comfortably and fluently. Biology, is a great subject for me, but i want to try and help my other classmates if they don't understand. In Geography I would like to actually give it a chance and not be so negative about learning the ancient subject. In Education in The Digital Age I want to try and ask alot of questionsand become more familiar with a computer. English, is one of the harder subjects for me, but i plan to get more involved with reading so i can learn to write better. I will try my hardest with whatever this school throughs at me.

Now, I will talk about my social life and friends. I have lots of friends that either go to VHS, BHS, or SBHS like Hannah, Taylor, Bridget, Hailey, Ryley, Nicole, and Marina. I miss them alot, but i dont want to loose contact with them, my friends are all way to close to split up. I do not want to engage in drama with the people i care about. I want to smile at strangers that i walk by. I want to be comfortable in making new friends and actually do it.i also hope to be more caring and considerit to others besides myself.

Next, I will talk about my family and the goals I have for them. Since I never get along either with my brother,Bradley or mother,Lori I want to try and see eye to eye with my brother and joke around and laugh with them. With my mother, I want to try and compromise with her more so we fight less, since we have such opposite personalities. I want to help around the house more and do my chores more often so my mom doesnt have to do it all. My family and my friends are the world to me and im going to try to kep them very close to me.

Finally, i am going to talk about my physical apperance and health for this year and beyond. For health I want to eat better like more fuits and vegtables and not so much junk food, so I can become more fit. I want to actually work-out, and be able to stay on a diet and watch my weight. My favorite sport is Fast-pitch girls softball, i play year round since i was six years old. Since, i have practice almost every day and games evert weekend i think i stay fit. My favorite position in softball is catching because you get to touch the ball every single play. This sport is my whole life if i did'nt play I wouldnt know what to do with myself or on the weekends.
