Informative Speech Outline
Dreams and Ambitions
Purpose: To inform my audience about how to follow your own dream and path, not following anyone else’s paths because they say you can’t do something.
I. Introduction
A. Greeting
Good evening everyone.
B. Attention getter
Today, I’m going to tell you the stories of my life and someone who I looked up to. When I was in middle school, I was a dreamer and so was he.
(Visual aid #1)
One day, while watching Fast and Furious with my dad, I told him that when I was older, I would become a racecar driver just like Vin Diesel. My dad checked my temperature after I said that.
(Visual aid #2)
Another day I was watching Step Up with my mom and told her I would become a dancer. I would search up dance tutorials on Youtube, watch them over and over again. Practiced in front of the mirror until I got it. But I never got it. And it just annoyed my parent that they kept hearing mammoth footsteps from my room and that they couldn’t sleep. More recently, when I was half asleep on the bus on its way to my school. I was suddenly awakened to this funky song sung by this amazing singer. Then I knew I’d become a singer. Excited for an upcoming school concert. I signed up. Then my friends in school slammed me that no one would like me and that I would be the joke to the school. I doubted myself since then.

C. Credibility statement
As someone who have been following every of his footsteps from he was as small as a fetus. He represents an iconic symbol for having dreams, faith, and to never stop believing in yourself. I would like to inform you about this person.

D. Thesis statement
It didn’t matter how many times you got knocked down on the floor, but you know one day you would have to get up and stand tall. Because everything has to start from something, and something would be nothing if you didn’t believe and have faith in yourself. Where

    Analyzing Steve Jobs's Speech 'Pursuing Happiness'

    On the day of June 12, 2005 at the University of Stanford, a speech was given by one of the most successful entrepreneurs of our time, Steve Jobs. His words were truly inspiring and very effective at what he was trying to convey. And that was to pursue the dream or goal that you would want to achieve, and to silence those who say you can’t or it’s not possible. He had very much to say, but was it all necessary. That leaves you to decide.…

    Nurse Practitioner Research Papers

    Former successful Olympian, Gail Devers, once said “Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication” (Gail Devers, Brainy Quotes). Dever’s words resonate as she inspires those who usually let obstacles keep them from chasing their dreams. As children with an overactive imagination, nothing seems out of reach. Somehow, as we grow older, we begin to notice our strengths and weaknesses and we end up letting go of our old dreams and moving on. Growing up, I fanaticized over what I would do as an adult. Those fantasies ranged from a world-famous pop star to President of the United States. Through all those times of make-believe speeches and singing into a hairbrush, one of my…

    Personal Narrative: When I Wait To Grow Up

    We all can't wait to grow up when we're young. The world is filled with all this possibility and wonder. I've been told ever since I was little that the world is my oyster; in other words, the world was completely opened to me and I could be anything I put my mind to. So I just couldn't wait to grow up. Being an adult seemed awesome and I wanted to skip over the kid stage and get to my life, start living and taking care of myself. I thought I knew it all and I was ready to prove it. I had this idea, this grand picture that I had painted in my mind of life and how it should turn out. I thought I knew it all, until the day that suddenly I didn't. They tell you to be careful what you wish for because you just might get it. Life decided it was…

    Personal Narrative: My First Track Team

    When at the age of five, my parents began to experiment with and place me in many different activities. The first activity was gymnastics, which was a complete failure.

I trained for a while thinking I was decent ready for what life has to throw at me, then the day of the track meet arrived.…

    Personal Narrative: My Middle School Experience

    I was the kind of guy who always strove in order to get the highest grades but yet hadn’t decided what to do in the future. I wasn’t worried, I knew someday I would find something in what I was good at. I got to live with that thought for some time until I got to attend middle school, where I stopped worrying about my grades and managed only to pass the subjects. I spent most of my time sleeping due to the frustration of not knowing what to do in the future. Most of my middle school experience was tasteless. I hadn’t friends at all, and teachers used to discourage their students about their future. “You're not going to college, you’ll not be able to do it because you’re poor” used to say, Mrs. Vazquez, the math teacher who instead of giving her class, talked on how much his son had accomplished in college and how we would not be able to attend. That was about to change.…

    Personal Vision Paper

    While getting older you travel to different stages of life, and for a long time in your life you only dream of things you would like to become. For instance, when I was just a little boy around the age of eight I dreamed about becoming the president of The Netherlands. My teacher would always say wake up! Stop living in this fantasy world be realistic. But I kept on dreaming about becoming something important. I looked up to people with important jobs, how they communicate or give presentations and speeches to enormous crowds. That inspired me. But there comes a time when you are forced to stop dreaming at least when you are awake. And that moment came when I left high school. I began to realize that the time to think about my future profession had arrived. I had to think about a job and make that right choice, and then you realize that it is not that easy as: I want to be a doctor, pilot or even a president. You have to choice different paths, will I become a doctor or an economist and you realize you can’t be both. And you ask yourself the question, what do I want to be when leaving school? And you ask that question over and over again and it becomes more and…

    Personal Narrative: My Life After High School

    I got serious, I went to school every day, did all my work, study for every test. I notice a huge difference. My GPA went up. I was finally satisfied. The problem was I wasn't sure what I wanted to do in the future. My parents wanted me to go into the medical field, but I felt like it wasn't for me. Science wasn't my favorite subject. Then during sophomore year and especially junior year. I realized what I wanted to do as a career. I noticed that I enjoyed cooking a lot and being in the kitchen. That's what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. One day I found out I had to switch schools. The new school I'm in Has a culinary program which I was very excited about. I asked them to place me in there. On the first day of school, I saw my schedule and I was very excited. I knew this is what I enjoy doing, but I didn't know if I wanted to continue it after high school. Through this program I learned that I do. In order for me to go to culinary school, I had to do my best in school because culinary school is not affordable. Especially for my family. I have many opportunities through program to earn a scholarship. If I work hard and get good grades I'll reach my…
