"30 Days: Minimum Wage"

By watching this video, I now see how people, including me, just take things for granted. It is important to understand how other people live. Just by looking at someone, you can't tell if they are "just getting by" to pay their bills or if something else has happened to them. This video has really changed how I look at other people, because I don't know what they are going through. I think what Morgan and Alex did in the video really changed how they take things for granted sometimes too. One thing I learned from this video is that there are church centers where volunteers donate items for no charge to people who can't afford those things. I think this is an awesome reflection on how there are some nice people in this world. Also in the video I learned that even though you may not know it, but where you live 1 in 5 children go to bed hungry because their family is struggling make ends meet financially. So, next time you really want something, but really don't need it, think of other people who would appreciate to have the littlest things, but financially can't.

Informative Speech

Well, like most people I get really nervous when I speak in front of others. My informative speech on gum didn't go as I had visioned it to be. I started to forget my information and stumbled over my words. So that is something I need to work on, not getting so nervous! I also need to work on keeping my hands at my side, eye contact, and not moving around. So, if I do these things and many other fixes, I hope my next speech will be better!
