Text of Speech
My name is Lauren C. I am a student here at our high school. I intend to graduate with my class in 2014. Here are some goals that I hope I’ll accomplish before and after graduation.

Out of all my goals, I intend to accomplish the most in the academic area. First off, I will try my hardest to maintain a 3.5 or higher GPA. I also would like to keep my grades at a “B” average. Next, I intend to graduate this fine establishment with my High School degree and a full scholarship to NYU. If I am unable to attend NYU I will make sure that I get into a college that is on the coast of somewhere. Only because the longest I’ve been away from the beach was a week, and I can’t imagine myself leaving the beach. I’ll only leave the beach for that glorious college in New York. My second most important goals are my career goals. After I graduate college, I’m thinking about maybe going to a beauty college. Only because I really enjoy doing make up, and I think if I do makeup I will actually have fun making money. If I am unable to attend beauty school or am unable to makeup in general, I plan on being a professional photographer. I’ve just recently gotten into photography. I really like phhotography because it gives me a chance to express myself threw as i like to call them "mini clips". If I’m lucky I shall be able to pursue both of these career options and maybe have a chance to actually work in these jobs fields at the same time.

My family is also very important to me. They always help me remember to do my homework. One goal I have for my family is to not fight as much with my sister. I don't know why but if we're watching T.V or something like that, we'll all of a sudden be in a huge fight for no reason. Another goal I have is to not sass my mom and dad as much. I need to learn to listen to them and do what they ask right when they ask, instead of procrastinating. My last goal in the family area is for me not to be disrespectful to my grandparents. I’m lucky to have grandparents and I should try my hardest to do what they do also.

Ok, now for my Social goals. In my four years that I’m going to be attending my high school, I hope that I will be able to squeeze every last drop of the high school experience out. I plan on making more friends. Hopefully those friends will be more reliable and trustworthy. I also hope to not feud as much with my enemies. It will be quite hard not to feud with my enemies mostly because I’m very very sarcastic. If I succeed with most of these goals, I’ll be very pleased with myself.
