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

    Informative Speech: Springfield, Virginia

    I am presenting this evening my Informative Speech. That was then….and this is now. I call Culpeper, Virginia home. Though, the small town I knew growing up was Springfield, Virginia. 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. People still went into Washington, D.C.…

    Penn Treaty Park Speech

    The Indigenous site in Philadelphia that I chose to travel to was Penn Treaty Park. When I was much younger my mother took my brother and I to that park to ride our bikes. However, this time I had a different vendetta and the park was significantly more important. One of the first things I noticed when I walked into the park was a statue of William Penn. Surrounding his statue was a multitude of plaques with different types of scripture on them. One that caught my eye explained the history and importance of Penn Treaty Park. It explained that the treaty was made between William Penn and the Delaware Valley Indians in 1682. It is said that they made the peace treaty under an elm tree called, “The Great Elm of Shackamaxon.” While there I was…

    Commemorative Speech

    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.…
