Do Now: Can you recall a quote, speech, parable or lesson that inspired you, changed your perspective on life, or made you stop and think? Identify it and explain reasons why.
A quote that i had heard was that "Everything happens for a reason." This quote changed the way I think about life. I think that things happen to you in life that can be good or bad. But there is some reason why it happened to be you because bigger is coming your way. One way was that during the freshman year on Thursdays I will go to swimming but it ended because the programs ended. It lasted about 4 months. From sophomore til now I to a bike club that meets in the summer every week. In the fall and spring we meet once or twice a month. It is more fun, get to learn about bike safety in the streets of New York, I get to it with my siblings and my friends.


Listen to a speech and identify as many of the following: Take notes while you watch and listen. Who is giving the speech, where is the speech, who is the targeted audience, what is the message etc.
I listened to a speech by Ronald Reagan about the space shuttle "Challenger" tragedy address. Ronald Reagan delivered the speech on January 28, 1986 to the people of the United States. He began the speech by saying that he was planning to speak about the report on the state of the union but he decided to talk about the tragedy of the space shuttle Challenger. The tragedy that happened 19 years ago. He said that the country never lost people in flight but the Challenger tragedy lost 7 lives. The 7 people were daring and brave. They were hunger to explore the the universe. He continued by saying the the space program has been her for 25 years but were still pioneers. The space programs continues, for the men and women of NASA he is moved and impressed. He honors the crew of the space shuttle Challenger.
