=Text of My Speech=

I’m not the smartest, I’m not the dumbest. I’m not timid, I’m not the bravest. I’m not the funniest, I’m not very bland. I’ve never climbed Mt. Everest but I have climbed in Yosemite Valley. I have not read the whole Harry Potter series but I have friends that have many times over. My name is Chris S. I love the water. I sometimes I actually wish I was a fish. When I’m older I hope to be a Marine Biologist. However, before that I plan to graduate from college. I don’t need a big house but I want to live in a nice location.

I hope to have good friendships with my teachers. I also hope to have all great teachers that explain very well, about what their talking about. That way I can have some of my other goals come true.

In the future, I hope I can say “I’ve climbed Half Dome”. However, I never plan to climb Mt. Everest. I wish to explore the entire Yosemite Valley. I also want to go river rafting down a fast river. Yet I also want to go to Alaska. Since the wildlife and nature there is so amazing that it’s on my top five list for places I want to go to before I’m forty years old.

I hope to get a workout that is so painful that I lose five pounds, and then get to only 7% body fat. I want to be able to run a marathon twice in my life. I never plan to do an ironman but I hope to know someone who has so they can motivate me into doing it. But I want to run a triathlon.

I also want to go to great snorkel and scuba diving locations around the world. I want to feel the cool water and see some amazing fish among breathtaking underwater views. Water is my passion and I love it. I love the feel of cold or warn water on my face as a swim deeper and deeper. I want to be able to hold my breath for a whole minute without have to try all too hard, while holding it

I wish to swim with many animals such as whale sharks, reef sharks, blue whales and dolphins, anything from tiny fish to the giant creatures of the sea.

Those are the current goals of my life. Every day the list continues to grow.
