Mission Viejo Speeches
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. Now onto where I am from. I am from Laguna Hills California but I say I am from Mission Viejo since most of my friends and all of my schools were in Mission Viejo. Mission Viejo is located in South Orange County, otherwise know as the “OC Bubble.” It is referred to this by people in the “real world” for its lack of crime and violence. I could see what these people meant, for I had several trips to Long Beach with my dad and I could say it was a very different world. But in Orange county cities like Santa Ana and Anaheim have high crime rates and human trafficking. Enough with that. Mission Viejo …show more content…
I went to de Portola Elementary school which was a beautiful school with a pretty garden, well maintained soccer fields that run for hundreds of yards, brand new playground sets, and wonderful big classrooms. But you take a step into the restrooms, you find yourself running out gagging and gasping for air. I was in 3rd grade when me and my fellow students decided to speak out and petition against our horribly disgusting bathrooms. Naturally we got hushed and were told we are a public school. What the heck did that mean? In 4th grade I asked a teacher why the drinking fountain doesn't work and she said “we are a public school.” In 5th grade, I was third to last in line to get a class set library book and they happen to run out of books when it was my turn to get one. “Sorry sweetie we are fresh out of Jonny Tremain. You’ll have to share off someone else.” The sweet librarian said to me. I replied, “its okay, I hate reading

    Jackie Robinson was an idol to many African Americans because he broke the color barrier in Pro Baseball worked for the Civil Rights Movement. Everyone has a role model or someone they look up to; my idol is my father. Steve John Steichen is the best dad ever; he is always there to help and sets a strong example for kids of all ages. My dad wakes up with me at 6:00 A.M. and leaves for work at the same time as I go to school and comes home at 5:30 every day just in time for a family meal. Although he is busy with his job, he always has time to help me with homework or play catch in the backyard. Best of all he is always emitting positive energy at home. He is a very inspirational man with dedication to family and strong work ethic; he has shown me how hard work will always pay off. I have been manipulated by him to work on baseball all off season and this has made me so much better at the game. I love my Dad. He motivates me to go the extra mile for extra credit in school, and has taught me to take opportunities as they are presented. When I am down because something bad has happened or my grades are not up to par, he always tells me to “never quit because no one likes a quitter”. I admire my father and look up to him as a best friend and a teacher because he knows how to be a successful man.…

    Both my grandfather and great-grandfather proudly served. Sam Patterson, my great-grandfather, is a WWII veteran who served in the Navy for many years. James Patterson, my grandfather, followed his father’s footsteps and served in the Army during the Vietnam War. Both are disabled vets whose commitments to serve our country and the rigor this service demanded on their physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual levels are what fueled my desire to serve my peers in various capacities. My other grandfather, Herbert Owenby, was a gifted athlete who participated in two varsity sports at the collegiate level. People tell me that I get my athleticism from him. I think he actually molded me into the person I am today. He once told me the most important thing I could do in life was not to excel in sports but to be the best person I could be and help others when they needed help. He never got to see me win a national title, a state title, or even participate in a high school sport. But I know nothing would make him prouder of me than being the best person I can be and helping those along the way. He was given the opportunity to attend Boys State in 1963; an opportunity that probably helped shape him into the man he became. All three grandfathers taught me to lead by example while being…

    At yesterday’s town council meeting (3/6/17), the serious problems of Cottone Field took center stage. Concerned residents and students lined up to inform the council about the worn-out condition of the field which has recently caused injuries to several students. The injuries were due to the uplift of the base layer of silica sand which purpose is to act as a cushion. Without this base layer of sand, the field becomes incredible dense, providing little to no dampening of impacts. The result of this is that students are getting sprained ankles in situations where they would normally be uninjured. One concerned resident reported “their was no difference in feel between the concrete and the field once I stepped on to it”. Another reported…

    My dad was extremely involved in my life especially when I was younger. I was a daddy’s girl one hundred percent growing up. My dad got me involved in all the sports I partook in. Encouraging me, giving me lessons, and helping me become better in any way he could. My mom was normally just there for moral support but my dad was the one to push me. He encouraged me to be good at anything I wanted to do. My dad played such a strong role in my life, and helped me become who I am today. The influences he forced on me created many of the interests I still have today. I feel as if I would be a different person if he weren’t there while I was growing up. To see the change that one person could have on you is deranged. She was involved in any sport…

    Greg Critser lives in Pasadena, California, and writes regularly for USA Today and the Los Angeles Times on issues of nutrition, health, and medicine. An authority on the subject of food politics, Critser has been interviewed by PBS and other media, and his writ­ing on obesity earned him a James Beard nomination for best feature writing in 1999. Embarrassed by a passing motorist who shouted "Watch it, fatso," Critser went on a diet and lost forty pounds. In the process he discovered that in America, weight is a class issue—fat and poor often go together. In exposing the heavy truths about American obesity, Critser gives our bloated nation a wake-up call. His books include Fat Land: How Americans Became the Fattest People in the World (2003) and Generation Rx: How Prescription Drugs Are Altering American Lives, Minds, and Bodies (2005).…

    When I was younger, my father always wanted my brothers and I to be the best we could be at any sport we played. He always said to try the best you can, and great things will follow. After a recreational basketball game, I was upset because we lost, and I told my father “I don’t care that we lost!” My father got upset at me for saying this and yelled at me all the way home, which was a ten minute drive, about why I should always try my best and care about what I do.…

    I truly believe that I wouldn’t be the person I am today if basketball wasn’t such a huge component to my life and to my family. My father introduced me to the sport when I was very young and it has stuck with me ever since. Playing years and years of basketball has not only improved my game drastically, but it’s also affected my life in ways that I never thought was possible. One very important outcome of committing to basketball was the affect it had on my dad…

    “HIT HARDER!!!!!” my dad screamed as he held the tackling dummy, which made me want to tear the pad apart as I tried my hardest to do exactly what he wanted. My dad helped me get better at football and other sports by making me mad to hit the pad harder. My mom also had her share in making me get better at sports. She would always drive me to any camps, practices, and games. I was also pushed by my brother who made me want to become a better athlete since he would always brag to me that he was better. Therefore I have been working to try and prove him wrong to show him I am better. These three people my dad, mom, and brother all have influenced me by pushing me to become better at sports.…
