Fair Queen Speech
When thinking about why I want to be the next County Fair Queen, many memories of the fair came back to me. I have wonderful memories of meeting up with friends at the fair, attending the carnival, going to the dance and making new friends. The fair is a great time for all, bringing the community together to enjoy all the different components that are offered.

I am excited about the opportunity to represent the county and would enjoy traveling to other communities, meeting new people and sharing information about our county with others. I will project a positive attitude, make people feel comfortable when visiting with them and keep in mind to have a fun filled time and keep on smiling. I am not afraid to take on new challenges, as it is through the climb that we truly find out what our potential is. In the words of Bernice Johnson Reagon: “Life’s challenges are not supposed to paralyze you; they’re supposed to help you discover who you are.” As I am getting older and meeting the challenges of growing older, I am finding out more about myself all the time. I have learned that I have determination and perseverance to accomplish more than I thought I could, I have patience and a soft heart for children and that I look forward to each day to be the best that I can be.

In closing, I would like to be fair queen to inspire others to follow their dreams and to represent this county in the spirit of friendliness and community.

Thank

    This comedic play was an original piece that was produced to raise awareness for bipolar disorder. The Queen and the Clown was directed by Tamar Lopez who she herself has the psychological disorder. She aimed to apprise about bipolar disorder in the most comedic way possible. There was an excessive, yet funny use of profanity and sexual references throughout the entirety of the play. The director/screenwriter managed to keep the comedic atmosphere even during the intermission and until the end after the actors’ bows. Despite the fact that I appreciated this consistent formality, I felt as though it was sometimes over used; consequently, the plot was occasionally lost. I, personally, have not been to many plays or understand their normal structures. However, I would have liked a more obvious introduction of the characters and setting. I am not too sure if this is the norm for some plays, but a few apparent lines of where the characters were or more unique names than “Servant 1” would be nice. If I really had to pick at it, the stage hands weren’t very discrete when removing props from the stage as they distracted my and maybe the audience’s attention from the show. This was only true during one scene after the intermission. Also, I believe their depiction of bipolar disorder may have been slightly inaccurate. By NIMH definition, bipolar disorder is brain disorder that causes unusual shifts in mood, energy, activity levels, and the ability to carry out day-to-day tasks. These unusual shifts from mania to depression change through long periods of time, and are not very so instantaneous. However, during the play, the Queen who was cursed with the disorder switched back and forth with her mood swings in a matter of seconds. This is the common perception of what bipolar behavior is, but it isn’t the most accurate…

    Mary Abbey Speech

    The message Abbey was trying to convey in the speech was that peace is not war but war is used to create peace. The purpose of Abbey’s speech is to explain her concept on how peace is the reason of wars. Throughout many techniques and rhetorical devices, Abbey has shown this referring to the poem Five Ways to Kill a Man by Edwin Brock and George W Bushes’ speech on 9/11. Abbey also questions that if this is the concept of war, to create peace, then is war really necessary? I think that the intended target audience of the speech is to those who also, like Abbey, question the point of war. In this speech Abbey gives her own personal opinion, which was can all somehow reflect on as well.…

    by Rose M. Richard | September 27, 2001 I desire to become Homecoming Queen for two reasons. First of all, America is not a monarchy, consequently, I have little chance of marrying royalty and therefore, becoming Princess Anything.In high school, I was way too bitchy and unpopular to even think about being nominated for any sort of event that required crowns. I got the last laugh, though, because now I have bigger boobs than all those bitches. My mom wanted me to do Junior Miss, but I was in my militant feminist vegetarian phase and refused. I regret my decision not to participate, even though I still don't think it's truly a "scholarship" event. What scholarship requires you to prance around in a swimsuit?The second reason I want to be Homecoming Queen is for the crown. I like crowns. I'm of the generation of girls whose first television memory is Princess Di's wedding. She got to wear a great crown, and I've been obsessed with them ever since. I suppose I could go buy one of those crappy ones at the mall, but you don't earn those crowns. I don't care if the crown is from Burger King. At least I will have done something to earn it (but not by prancing around in a swimsuit. You really don't want me to do that).VOTE Rose M. Richard For QUEEN!…

    indira gandhi speech

    • 466 Words
    • 2 Pages

    My name is Indira Nehru Gandi and I was born on November 19, 1917 in Allahabad,India. I studied in Visva-Bharati University, Somerville College,and in the University of Oxford. I had a great passion for education because Education is a liberating force, and in our age it is also a democratizing force, cutting across the barriers of caste and class, smoothing out inequalities imposed by birth and other circumstances. My father, Jawaharlal Nehru, led India's political struggle for independence from British rule, and became the first Prime Minister of the Union of India. I was very much inspired with what my father had become. And I eventually served as the third Prime Minister of India being the second female head of government in the modern world.People would say that I am like my father although I also believed that my father was a statesman, I am a political woman. My father was a saint. I am not. In 1971, I intervened in the Pakistani Civil War in support of East Pakistan. My country emerged victorious in the resulting conflict to become the regional hegemon of South Asia. During the war, the U.S. had supported Pakistan, while India received help from the Soviet Union. Relations with the U.S. grew distant as I developed close ties with the Soviet Union after the war. The latter emerged to become India's largest trading partner and its biggest arms supplier. I also gave direction to India's economy to reach the declared objectives of democratic socialism and greater social justice for weaker sections. It was also under my leadership that the signing of Shimla Pact with Pakistani Premier Bhutto and the signing of Indo-Soviet Treaty of Peace, where Friendship and Cooperation took place. I have also nationalised banks, abolished privy purses of maharajas and conducted the first nuclear tests at Pokhran. I was satisfied with these achievements of mine because I have pushed myself towards the edge exerting great effort and I believed that Satisfaction lies in the…
