Childhood Moment

One thing I remember truly loving to do in my childhood was going to my grandmother's house every Sunday. Even though I never liked going to church when I was small because I couldn't sit still, I looked forward to going to her house after. She would make an awesome home cooked meal and always had a bunch of fun toys for me to play with after. I also loved her dog and enjoyed the company of my whole family. My favorite time to go over there was the fall, because she would make a huge leaf pile for me to jump in and everyone would take pictures of me. As I grew older, I still loved visiting, even though I didn't have time to do it as much. She began to teach me how to cook, even though I never did very well. I always loved the comfort of having a great family.

Beacon Article: Long Distance Love

I recently read the article "Long Distance Love" about couples finding ways to celebrate Valentine's Day apart. Three different couples in long distance relationships were mentioned. I give them a lot of credit because I know that I would most likely never be able to make a relationship across four states work, let alone across many countries. One of the couples are spending this Sunday together, while the other two are compromising and having their own Valentine's Day at a different time.

Dalton Sherman

Dalton Sherman made his speech emotional by involving the audience, which was the Dallas, Texas School District. He used an engaging and confident tone of voice. He was very loud and emotional while speaking and continuously repeated the phrase, "Do you believe in me?" He made the point that every person in the school district has a purpose. Everyone needs to believe in themselves and in each other. He also thanked everyone for what they did for him and so many of his classmates, getting him to where he is today.
