John F Kennedy Jfk Assassination Informative Speech
Listening and learning from our elders is a thing of the past in the U.S., but it shouldn’t be anymore.

Luckily though, Sister Julie knew my parents would be too harsh on me, and she told me that she would let me go until I did anything mischievous again.” From the wild stories of my stepfather, I know that Theresa was a little more lax when it came to raising her own
