My Speech Outline

Intro:
We are familiar with the three phases of life everyone goes through. These phases are childhood, young adulthood, and finally being adults. In between each phase we tend to undergo a change in what is important to us.
Childhood:
As children we tend to care about one thing. We enjoy the things that are fun and interesting. We show off for our friends or spend time to impress that particular girl or boy. Childhood is one of the best times for us to create some of our greatest memories, and sometimes we are left with the scars to show for it. As a child I loved to go camping in Cumberland, where we would also take our quads. One particular time I flipped our quad with my sisters friend on with me. It was not my brightest moment when i drove her back to our camp and found out she needed to go to the hospital to get stitches. (Will go into more detail during speech)
Young Adulthood:
When we start to consider college and what we plan on doing in life, this is when our interests change from entertainment to our career. We realize we will most likely not become that famous athlete or be going into space, and think of what else we may like to do. During this phase I recently went through a second change, when I decided to switch my major. (Will go into more detail during speech)
Adulthood:
I can not say I have experienced a change for adulthood yet but I can imagine where my focus will be after I have settled into my career. Throughout my life I have had a close relationship with my family. However, I know I will have more time to focus on them after establishing my plans. My family has been there supporting me throughout my life. As a kid my parents supported me while playing sports. Taking me to practice, paying for my equipment, etc. They are even there to take you to the hospital.
Conclusion:
Still undecided on the best way to conclude it and will take any suggestions.    

When I watched this speech, the content he presented made little sense to me. However, the more I watched the more I began to notice the techniques that we were told to use in our own speeches. For example is his interaction with his audience. Secondly, is his body movements as he is presenting. If the content of his speech was improved it would make an excellent speech for any student. I feel he presented what he knew in a good way and that his actions are something like what we are expected to do ourselves.

Rise of the NBA Nerd:

               In this article Morris stresses the argument presented by the new apparel of some NBA players. The argument he is presenting to the audience, is that the stereotypical way a group of people dress or act can be altered. He uses the Fresh Prince of Bel Air as an example of what these players are trying to do. In the show Will tries to get Carlton to act more like the black males of that time. When it is actually Carlton who influences Will to do better in school.
               Now it is the NBA players who are trying to cause a change. They are showing that the way one dresses does not determine who they are. This can be clearly seen in the article when it talks about the NBA relaxing its dress code. Here it talks about how players change the way they dress to "see what works." What they want to see working, is if their appearance catches on with the general population. The population that these players are trying to reach out to is young kids.
               I agree with what these players are doing because they are the ones that kids now look up to. If it were teachers who were trying to send this message to the kids, the result would be something completely different. This change is not to get kids to dress like them, but instead for kids to be themselves without having to worry about what others think about them.
