Ravine Garden State Park Speech
As I walk through a winding path of trees, surrounded by a lush colorful landscape, and a steep ravine to my side, I stop to take the time to listen to the different birds chirping a beautiful song, thinking I must be dreaming this can’t be in Florida, but it is! I am at Ravine Garden State Park in Palatka, Florida. If you are like me you tend to think of Florida as being pretty flat or all beaches but this is not true. This state park is home to not one but two ravines measuring up to 90 feet deep! It is imperative we protect gems like this. Ravine Garden State Park deserves continued financial support and preservation because it beautifully highlights how Florida's waterways shape and mold this state's landscape and history as well as showcases

I would like to tell you and share some of my memories about growing up in Northern Virginia and of its changes that have occurred over the decades. Growing up Springfield really was small town USA. The normal commuter was traveling south onto interstate 95 from Washington, D.C. which is now is exit 169A and a permanent memory etched in my brain. Throughout the 1970’s there was only three very small strip shopping malls the served a country setting population. Then the 1980’s came, and flooded the suburbs with malls.

    The ticker tape and the confetti are raining down upon you and the countless other Americans who are celebrating the end of the second World War. As you look around Times Square in New York, you see the Uncle Sam poster that help draft many of the brave soldiers who fought. You also see the Rosie the Riveter poster that inspired so many women to go and work. You then turn and see a navy soldier kissing a nurse. You remember hearing about Old…

    Today we are crossing the Kansas River to reach Alcone Springs. We still have a long way but it takes about 15 minutes to cross so I thought i would sit down and write about our past 3 days. It cost $1 to use the Pappin Ferry to get across. Our rope has been really good so far and haven't fixed it. On the 19th Grace got a spring cold which I got really worried because i don't know where a General store is ahead and if we run out of medicine right now… it will be bad. Other then that, much hasn't happened besides getting sick. The journey is doing good so far, lots of walking and stopping but what can you do.…

    I thank my dad for bringing out the skill and mindset of an athlete. I not only use my competitive nature on the field but I also utilize it in the classroom. When I was younger, I would despise the person who got a higher grade than me. I wouldn't actually hate them, I would hate that they beat me. But when I would get the highest grade in the class I would feel like I had won the championship football game.…

    It’s not that easy being green. It’s not that easy being a frog, either. Some would say that he is the most awesome amphibian of all time. Others would proclaim him a puppet above the rest. His name and footprints are on a star at Grauman’s Chinese Theater, a rare honor given only to the best in Hollywood. It’s an even greater leap for an amphibian. You guessed it. I am here today to honor Kermit the Frog, a well-mannered, always positive, funny, frog who left the life of a quiet, peaceful swamp in the bayou to take on the world with his green philosophy. To some Kermit is an icon of hope for a greener, cleaner world, and to others he is an inspiration towards acceptance and kindness to his fellow creatures on Earth. To ALL who have ever heard Kermit speak or sing, he is the voice of wisdom and encouragement when they just need a smile.…

    California Dream When you think of what the California dream is, the amount of dreams is equally colossal to the reasons people attribute a dream to be “Californian”. Many agree a Californian dream to have a few trends: desire for great weather, mobility, access to Hollywood, diversity, free love, and most importantly- housing. Unfortunately, my version of the California dream wasn’t molded by an outside look that’d imagine the gold paved roads of California- but something that has developed beyond my families’ original desires.…
