3/11 We discussed achieving your dream. Think of someone who has already achieved a similar dream. What lessons can you learn from their journey?

I always dreamed of getting a full ride to college so I can take the financial burden off my parents. My cousin has the same dream as me and she actually achieved it. She just worked harder during her senior year and started to apply for grants and scholarships. While doing that she was also working to save up money to pay for her own materials. She got a scholarship to a great college and graduated in a good field. Her parents didn't have to pay a single cent since she had the scholarship and money saved over.

Plus I get to sleep in and enjoy all the sweet treats. I love the memories I am able to make during Christmas. Finished up sensory presentation. I learned that I need more glasses than I realize. My dog, Leo is my entire world and that he's my everything.

It's Super Bowl weekend! Some people watch the Super Bowl for football, others for the commercials, and some just for the halftime show. What’s your favorite part of big events like this, and why?

 My favorite is the half time show since I personally am not into sports that much. I love watching the performances and how unique they get. Or when they sing a song that I haven't heard in a while. I also like when it's a surprise and you don't know what songs are playing. Overall, I am excited and ready to annoy my parents. We took a test and worked on missing assignments.

What do you think are your biggest strengths as a speaker? What challenges do you face when presenting in front of an audience?

 My biggest strength as a speaker is not feeling embarrassed to speak in front of others. I can speak clearly and loudly for those in the back to hear. I do face some challenges, I tend to overthink and get nervous since I don't want to mess up or stutter. I forget some information or when it's a signed topic and I don't know it well enough, I tend to try to make it up. I also don't like always being the only one speaking when it comes to a group project since it feels like everything is on me when it comes to speaking. People presented their projects.
