Text of Speech
My name is Ian M., and I am a freshman of the class of 2014. I play guitar, I surf, skateboard, and snowboard. In fact, surfing and skateboarding are so deep in my blood that I can’t help saying “dude, sup”, and I also say like a lot. I hope to meet everyone in my class of 2014.

I have various goals for the years ahead of me. For EDA, I hope to not make the teacher mad, because I like to mess around with that teacher a lot. In my Spanish class, I hope to learn how to speak the language fluently, so I can talk to my parents in Spanish as well as English. In Biology, I hope to be able to take chemistry next year, and I also hope to get at least an “A” in that class. In Geometry, I hope to get a good grade and also be able to take Algebra 2 the next year. In English, I hope this will be a very fun class for me, since it is the last class I have, and by that time, I am very tired. Last but not least, my Geography class. I hope to get a good grade in that class since that is not a good subject for me. I want to learn how to be able to focus in that class for the future, and I also hope that I can get at least a “B” this year. Compared to last year, this is high hopes, but I am sure if I try, I can accomplish that.

Now I’m going to talk about my family. I obviously have a mom and a dad, and I have a sister, two half brothers and a half sister. I don’t know much about one of my half brothers or my half sister, since I only saw them once and they are both one year old, but my other half brother is very energetic. He is also darker then both of his parents. He is only three, so I still don’t know what he might be like. My normal sister isn’t very normal, since she has two cats, two birds, three fish, a turtle, and some frogs. She also prefers to run on all fours, and most of my friends say that her face makes her look like a guy. She’s also really annoying, but I have to live with it. My dad does a lot of things that I do. He surfs, skateboards, snowboards, plays guitar, and plays video games. Out of those, I am better than him in snowboarding and video games. He is better than me in surfing, skateboarding and playing guitar. Last but not least, I will talk about my mom. I don’t know what to say about my mom, so I will say something recent. A week ago she got a speeding ticket because she was going 90 MPH, and she wasn’t wearing a seatbelt. And now I will talk about my physical health.

In my opinion, I think that I am physically healthy. I say “in my opinion”, because most doctors would probably say that I am not healthy. Some of the main things I do outside of school are surfing, skateboarding, and snowboarding. I haven’t snowboarded in a while, so maybe that doesn’t count. I surf at least once a week with some friends, and whenever I’m not surfing, I’m skateboarding. Whenever there is snow, I am snowboarding. That sounds like a lot, but it’s really not.

I am a freshman of the class of 2014, and I hope to be able to meet all of you sometime. Thank you for taking your time to read this, I hope you found this both entertaining and informative.
