Personal experience Speech

We had just gotten back from a very disappointing game. I don’t remember what the score was but we got buts kicked pretty good. So there are a number of us hanging around talking afterwards and we all decided that we needed to get some beer and go hangout somewhere and try and forget about the beating we had just gotten in the game earlier that night. We all chipped in and one of the guys made a beer run. When he got back we decided that it wasn’t a good idea to stick around the stadium and drink so we were trying to figure out someplace to go and chill. Then Dave chimes in that his family had just moved from their home a couple weeks earlier and the place was still empty and he still had his key. It sounded like a pretty good place to go to the rest of us so we jumped in our cars and headed on over to Dave’s old house. We pull up to the place and Dave jumps out goes and unlocks the door for us. We all get inside and start playen some music and drinking and haven a good ‘ol time. So we’re all having a pretty good time until after a while Dave, the guy whose place it was, starts throwing bottles around and trashing the place. My friends and I saw this and knew something was up so we all decided to split. After we left it wasn’t to late yet so some of us take a little joyride around town before we head home. Well, when we got back to school the following Monday we thought it was going to be just another day at school but later in the morning the cops show up. One by one all of us who had been at the party end up getting called down to the front office and are questioned by the cops. 5 guys ended up getting arrested that day (I wasn’t one of them). It turns out that the house we went to that night wasn’t actually Dave’s. His Family had just been renting the house and had been evicted from it a couple weeks earlier.

    As Junior year rolled around things began to get more interesting. There was a liquor store in Belleville that sold to minors and one night Alan, Alex, Cal, and I went to Max’s One Stop together and bought a ton of alcohol. It was hilarious and we made it just weeks before the cops raided the place and forced them to start checking ID. Junior year was fun with many fun nights but it really didn’t heat up until the end of the year when I went to my first real big party. Will Hogan was a senior at the time and he threw a darty for his grade and invited only four of us juniors. It was really fun and my first experience at a real party. Things started to change after that. Near the end of June I got a call from Luke Worley. In Luke’s call he

  • My Cruicible Experence

    1047 Words  | 3 Pages

    Most dictionaries define a crucible as a severe test or a place or situation in which concentrated forces interact to cause or influence change or development. In their article Crucibles of Leadership, Warren G. Bennis, and Robert J. Thomas describe a crucible experience as one of the most reliable indicators and predictors of true leadership is an individual’s ability to find meaning in intense, often traumatic, and usually unplanned experiences in one’s life. Like myself, many if not all people have several experiences that classify as a crucible. I believe attending Command and Staff General College (CGSC) presents a great opportunity to professionally developing the future leaders of our military. My personal CGSC experience consisting of factors influencing my decision and timeline to attend CGSC, applying the skill of time management as I pursued a masters’ degree while attending CGSC, and learning to deal with and overcome failure has definitely become my crucible experience.

    Tool is an object designed to do a particular kind of work. Nevertheless, not everything that is work comes with a designated tool, or maybe it does. Maybe not all tools are as common as others are, for instance: for a nail, you would use a hammer, and for a screw, you would use a screwdriver. What if you are a student, its after hours, you forgot your syllabus, you have an assignment due, and your only means of communicating is via the internet. On the other hand, maybe you are at your work place and your boss informs you of a project he needs you to complete with your co-worker not only does she have a bad attitude, but she does not communicate efficiently. Nevertheless, upon successful completion you will receive that promotion you have been waiting for. Perhaps you are that person whom always manages to avoid conflict but this time its staring you write in the face and you do not have a clue on what to do. The rEsource, working in learning teams, and problem-based learning are tools that can fix these scenarios. These tools can benefit you throughout your college education, in the workplace, and throughout your life.

    Groups of teenagers huddled together and spoke in hushed tones, debating what to do. Teachers came into the hall and ushered us to class, emptying the halls. I sat in my first hour plotting what to do to save myself from punishment. Obviously I couldn’t delete the photos since they were already in possession of the police, but maybe I could create a different picture of that night to save myself. The principal, Mr. Downs, called an assembly immediately during morning announcements. People’s faces who were at the party drained of color and many left class and went home. Whispers floated through the hall during the seemingly long walk to the gym, “What do we do? Should we lie? Can we say we were not really

    I made it to Big Lots, where Jonathan works, and I forced him to come outside and look at my car. Then we sat and talked for a while and I bragged about how I was going to my grandma’s house to eat a good home-cooked meal, while he would be forced to eat fast food again. When I left Big Lots, I still had a little time before church let out, so I drove back to Gray to the Dollar Store for some supplies for a Spanish class project I was doing that week. Finally I pulled into my grandparents’ driveway, and I noticed the door was closed. I thought this was unusual because I knew my grandpa was home, but I had forgotten a school fundraiser form for my aunts to look at, so I turned around and drove back home to Jonesborough. While driving home my friend Rachel and her mother were behind me, they followed me all the way to my house. I thought it was some kind of joke, but when we pulled into my driveway, Rachel yelled, “Get in the car! They had to take your grandma to the hospital.”

  • My Personal Experience: My Experience As A Student

    During my time as a student I have been able to develop the way I learn and interact with others to a degree that has also helped me to mature into a better person. I have come to believe that this maturity will help me to develop into a better thinker as well, one that has the patience to listen and take consideration of what others have to say. I consider the act of learning a two way avenue that has to be taken seriously. It is one that involves the teacher, and the protégé. It has been, and will continue to be, my absolute goal as a student to become a diligent protégé and acquire all of learning my teachers have set in front of me. The way each of them have helped me to think about how my actions, and the way I choose to study my lessons and develop as a student, has made a tremendous impact on my life. This impact is one that I will carry into the future as I myself advance in my professional studies.
