=Text of My Speech=

I am one of many members of the world who have never ridden a bike from California to New York. I have never eaten anchovies from a can before, nor would I ever want to. I have never tight rope walked from twenty feet in the air, or played laser tag with friends at a birthday party. I have never travelled outside the United States to the Caribbean Islands or to Spain and London, but I hope one day in the future I will. Brittanye M is the name that was given to me at birth, and this March I turned fourteen. Last year, I attended BMS and now I am a freshman at this high school, and to make it to the beginning of next summer alive, I have set goals for myself so that I hope to stick to and accomplish.

This year, I am on the BHS Girls Golf Team. So far, I have made the cutoff for all of the matches that we have played, but I hope during this season, I can improve at least ten strokes. By the end of the season, I want to be one of the best players on the team.

During the year, I hope to get A’s in all my classes or at the very least, to get B’s so I can get above a four point zero GPA. I go to school from seven o’ clock in the morning to about five o’ clock in the afternoon and any measly hours after these activities are spent on homework and time with the family.

At this school, you can always expect homework every night, even if it is the weekend. If you don’t get it all finished in a timely manner, you can fall behind fast, so this year I hope not to procrastinate.

My family loves to spend the weekends at Lake Nacimiento, so this year, I hope to perfect the art of wakeboarding.

Family is one aspect in my life that is equally important as school, if not higher. I have a younger brother, an older sister, and a mother and father. I hope to be a more active participant in the family. When we have a family get together, I want to be the one that prevents the fights, not make them.

Some other ambitions I want to pursue this year are to try to go to sleep earlier, keep my room messy free, and stay organized. I hope I can accomplish all of these items throughout the school year so I can meet my goals. Now you know a little about me and my ambitions, but how about yours?
