Text of Speech
My name is Paris T. I am a freshman at our high school in the class of 2014. I am a dancer and have been doing dance for awhile now. Since I am in dance I’m able to pop my ankle& my hip. In fact, I sometimes pop them on accident without even knowing it.

I have many goals in life, but the one that that will make most of them happen are my academics. My main goal is to get good grades and eventually go into college. I have a total of 6 classes I need to work on to be successful. For example, math is the subject I’m least good at, so I set time aside to focus the most on that subject. Next is EDA. Or computer class. I haven’t really been around the computer to know how to work it that well so that will be a good learning experience. Plus geography. My best subject. So that won’t be such a struggle. Finally, English. English is my 2nd least strongest subject. So I’m going to have to step up and be confident that I can do it. It starts off with confidence then it comes naturally.

My next topic is my family. I have three brothers and one sister. My brother’s name are Brandon jagger and troy. my little sister’s name is maddie. My father’s name is Brett and my mother’s name is Summer. When you get into the teenage years you tend to not be involved with your family as much as you did when you were a kid. My goal is to not be that teenager that doesn’t spend time with their family. for example, when my father comes home I don’t greet him. I barely acknowledge him. I plan to start greeting him with a hello and a hug to make his days better. My mom on a day to day basis has about 6 kids over. So I want to help her out more around the house. Like do my chores and pick up my things. My family is a big part of me achieving my goals in life.

Now I’m going to talk about my friends and social life. My friends that attend BHS are very close to me. My all time best friend’s name is Alisa B. She’s helped me through a lot and I want to keep her close. My other best friend’s name is Melissa C. She goes to VHS. we all have been friends for 4 years now and i hope too keep that friendship going. my other best friend, Katie D. attends foothill and we have been the best of friends since 6th grade. i would do anything for my best friends, and i hope to keep in touch with them.

finally i'm going to talk about my goals in health and physical activities. i live in a house where sugar-free popsicles are a once in awhile treat. so eating healthy isn't a problem for me. its exersise that gets me. i have dance classes every other day for an hour and a half with the exception of ballet every thursday night for an hour. plus my mom just signed me up at LA Fitness. my goal in this categorey is to go through with my exercise routines and dances classes.

In conclusion, i hope to accomplish my future goals and pursuit my dream life. i have my friends, my family, and my education to help me do so. My name is Paris T. and i am a freshman at this high school class of 2014.
