=Text of My Speech=

I’ve never stayed quiet for more than 5 minutes unless I was asleep; I’ve never gone farther than 30 miles from the border, or written a symphony, I can’t write legibly in cursive, or have a quiet conversation, I can’t sit still through lessons even if they’re interesting, I don’t trust or give up on people easily, I’m very protective of my friends, my family, or anyone I care about, I’ve never spent less than an hour reading, or more than 20 minutes on homework. If you think I’m violent, crazy, or dysfunctional you’re probably right, if you think I’m sane or easy to get along with you’re probably completely mental, Break my trust, heart, rules, or friends and you’ll wish you hadn’t. My name is Kendra C and I was raised in an all military family, middle School was torture for me but high school at this school has been amazing so far, far better than it would have been at VHS, while my life in general has been…weird.

Weirder still… my goals. Academically I would say I’m going to aim for a 4.0 GPA, but hey let’s get real. So let’s say a 3.5 GPA for all 4 years of high school, while taking as many AP Honor classes as I can while keeping the GPA. I plan to take 4 years of Spanish and at least one year of art. I’d like to try drama, debate, and photography somewhere in there too. I probably want to study abroad after high school but I’m not sure about that. I want to minor in Greek mythology, underwater archaeology, art history, cryptology, symbology, and photography.

Socially, I’d like to not tick off all my peers on accident… again. I want to stay not quite under the radar but also not taking up the whole dang thing, at least until I’m a sophomore. I’d like to fight less with my family but let’s face it that’s not going to happen. I’d also like to have better judgment in people because my history in that area isn’t pretty.

I'm not sure what job I want after high school I think Tornado chasing, photography, marine biology, cryptology, and theoretical physics would be fun. I'd also be interested in para-trooping in the Air Force, or being a weapons specialist in the Army.

I don’t know what college I want to go to or what I want to major in, what career I want or if I even want to still join the military. My name is Kendra C and I put the fun in "dysfunctional".
