Blog # 9: Compliments make the world a Better Place!
For this posting, please type up 5 sentences minimum describing a speech you enjoy during the informative presentations, include the speaker's first name and something you think they did particularly well. For an extra point, compare them to a celebrity or rock star, based on similiar performance traits they share. If you are ever having a bad day, recognizing some one else for something cute they are wearing or something they do well will ALWAYS make you feel better! --The Masked Blogging Complimenter

Although, I do not drink, I really enjoyed Jason's informative speech. His confidence was evident in the way he spoke with great eye contact. It made the speech interesting, especially since his speech pertained to his own job. It's a easier to keep the speech organized when you know about the topic. Also,the history behind each drink was informative as well. Great Job!

I really enjoyed Karyn's speech. I always thought it would be cool to adopt a kid and her topic of foster parenting interested me. She had plenty of ethos in this speech because she previously had been a foster parent. She is obviously very passionate about this topic. Being passionate about something should guarantee confidence and Karyn definitely showed this.
I would compared Karyn to Angelina Joelie. They both seem to enjoy helping children by providing them with a family.

I agree with Carla. Jason's informative speech was amazing! The whole concept of teaching the class how to make drinks. He taught us not only by talking but showing from step by step. In addition, he did inclue to imform us about the history of the wine. Also, I believe he had consider about some of the audents don't drink wine, so he include other kind of drink too.
His speech remind me about Donald J. Trump's show. I forget the name of the show. The show didn't teach the concept of business buy only lecturing,but through game to teach people how does business run! " you are fired~" I like this sentence~ haha ~

I enjoyed all the speeches, but the ones that stood out to me were those by Bryce and Deanna. I liked the concept Bryce presented or oganizing and accomplishing one's goals in life (and that quote you did, Bryce - it was written by John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-1892). As to Deanna, I enjoyed how she organized the different parenting styles and presented them with humor AND information. And she looks like Sandra Bullock!

I love checking in and seeing what you all have to say--I also thought Victoria's speech was very brave, seeing how she is emotionally connected to the topic. It reminded me of Jenny Mcarthy and her autistic son, how he has inspired her to speak out and encourage others who can relate-silence breeds fear! When we share out struggles, it is so encouraging to know we are in it together and can relate! Keep up the great work--Sandra
I loved everyone’s speech. Everything that everyone talked about were awesome subjects. I liked hearing about the water, to adjusting to a completely different culture and moving to another country like Korea, the cooking, the drinking, and the Chinese weddings. Man! Our Saturday class can party hard! But one in particular speech that I felt I really enjoyed and almost wanted to cry was Bryce and his inspiration. I love that he can be funny yet get down to business and just talk to us and have us realize our stories and our lives and living it to the fullest. It was a very touching speech.
Deanna
Mary you crack me up! And thanks!
I think that Bryce did a fairly nifty job with his speach. He was articulate and had one could tell that he'd prepared well for his informative speech before hand. I particularly liked how he used seemingly obscure stories, such as the elephant in the circus, and tied them in quite neatly with his theme. The speech subject was original and Bryce did a good job of getting his point across whilst he managed to keep his audiance entertained.
I compare him to Steve Jobs! This is entirely due to his stories. Bryce doesn't really look that much like Steve....
Chris Zierman
Arturo picked a fabulous subject for his speech. A speech on a historical figure could get boring, but his wasn't at all. He obviously knew the subject well, and he delivered the speech in a really casual way- prepared but not stiff. He chose the visuals well; They reinforced the speeech and there were just enough of them and not too many. Arturo can be really funny, too, I saw.

I would agree with what has been said, in that I really did enjoy everyone's speech. I would have to say the one that I enjoyed James, and Arturo's since it helped me to know more of our area's history. In some ways they way they talked it reminded me of Dan Rathers (Spelling?), or at least I believe that the guy. When Dan does his two minute "Did you know.." where you listen because your curious to learn some new tidbit.
I like how everyone used humor, like using the clip from the movie with the deer, and at the same time supplied the class with insight.
Well I wanted to write a little more about some of the other great talks; about chocolate, weddings, cultures, but since writting this will most likely make me late to class I'll have to call it good. Don't worry I'll pick up some Donuts on the way. :-) See ya in a little while.

i really enjoyed karyns informative speech, she was well spoken, very organized, i felt that i learned alot from here speech, i never new what a foster parent had to go through till i heard karyns speech.
marissa soto
The speech that interest me was Karyn's speech on adoption. Her speech was informative, and express and show caring to children out there who need real parents to set a good example for them. She was very knowledge about her speech and points out the negative and postive of being a foster parent. I really like her speech alot because it shows me that Karyn is woman of power who willing to help the need of foster children.
-Maiker Yang
I have truly enjoyed everyone's speeches thus far, and I was going to compliment Karyn on her heartfelt speech that made me want to cry, but a lot of people already did that, so I would also like to compliment Raul on his speech about transgender people. I thought it was extremely brave for him to talk about such a "taboo" subject. Obviously people need to be more informed about such things because it is the only way for people to be more accepting of it. Raul seemed to be very knowledgeable and well researched. He also did not seem the least bit uncomfortable. In all of his speeches in fact, he always seems very comfortable and never has to look at a single note! I am very impressed with Raul.

I enjoyed Raul's speech because he was so prepared and made it look easy. Most impressive was the way he talked about a subject that is a little uncomfortable and didn't laugh or get distracted by audience reactions to the context. He kept very good composure and had a lot of good information.

I enjoyed Matt's speech about skatebording very much. I feel that he picked a very good subject to talk about because it seemed as though he knew alot about it. He was very passionate about what he was taliking about and had great energy. I also enjoyed his live action demonstrations; it kept the audience's attention. He also seemed very relaxed and down to earth as opposed to being nervous.

I thought Karyn's speech was very good. I thought she picked a great topic. I think every kid deserves a safe and caring place to grow up with all the support that kid needs. GOOD JOB KARYN!!
I really enjoyed Cherie's speech about the Chinese Wedding. It was so well researched and there was great attention to detail which was essential for shedding some light on a subject I knew nothing about. That's also the reason I liked Jeremiah's. His subject (astronomy) is something that I find fascinating, but I am just NOT a science person. His was extremely interesting and I could probably hear another 10 minutes, because I knew he knew what he was talking about. Great Ethos! Once again, great research and truly informative.
-james-
I enjoyed Raul's speech. He did very well. He knew all his information without using any notes. He brought good visuals. He had good eye contact. He seemed very confident.
Lucia Guerrero
id have to say i enjoyed aaron's speech alot. He was well prepared and knew alot about his topic since its something hes pasionate about. He made eye contact with the audience and knew when to hold for applause and laughter. He was also loud enough for everyone to hear.
nick barker
I really enjoyed hearing Kate's speech. Her visual aid was edible, which is always appealing. She seemed very relaxed in front of the audience. Also I enjoyed the topic as a whole, I think people need to have less junk food and eat more fruits and veggies. Kate is like Al Gore, trying to help out everyone and the world by standing up and telling us how to live better lives! =)
Alli Moser
I really enjoyed Victoria's speech on Breast Cancer. She was very informative and very well prepared. She really knew what she was talking about. She taught me things that I didn't know. I was very heartfilled with her speech because I have lost alot of family from cancer.
Marian Capulong
I really enjoyed Mike's speech on Autism. I liked the way he interacted with the class and made us laugh. I also was surprised that he would pick this topic so it made it much more interesting. His tone was clear and he gave interesting facts and warning signs of Autism. Lastly, I liked the way he used his personal connection with the disease and his nephew it made the speech much more personal. If I had to compare him with a celebrity I would compare him to .....heck I don't know who'd I'd compare him to, but I will say he is a funny guy! Karyn Qualls Tues/Thurs
I personallu enjoyed Bryce's speech. The idea lingered with me later that day and the meaning. It was quite inspirational and well crafted in my opinion. Especially the imprinted belief about regret... which eludes me at the moment. I can also say i understand his six hour sleep schedule and trying to aquire the most out of life, even if it's always near the break of insanity or exhaustion.

im not gonna bother to be cliche and say i enjoyed everyones speech, but there were a few i did.
first off i think raule (Brazialian Guy) did a very well oragnized speech. he made me think twice about transgendered, and possibly accept the fact that people might of been born in the wrong body due to a ginectic malfuaction.
karyns speech was good, she became emotional and almost cried, shows she has a good heart.
i also like the girls speech on breat cancer. its a good reminder, because alot of us dont remember there are killer diseases and viruses out there. its not the idea to be paranoid but care ful. she was a good reminder
last i think miker had a good speech on child abuse. she really seemed strong on it, and made the class even imagine and feel for a moment what it mighht to be a child that was just assaulted.
I really enjoyed Jessica's Informative speech on playing/training with her dog (especially because for the first 15 minutes of class I was tossing her dog the play toy!) Anyways, her topic helped me especially since I just got a new puppy. How she got the dog to roll over and then treating it with a treat.
But also Mary's speech on Schizophrenia shed a whole knew light on that area. Generally speaking I only knew of the whole "movie/pop culture" stereotype of the disease. And how she demonstrated it with Jessica, the volunteer, in a normal conversation with Mary; two "voices" (portrayed by Chris and her friend) one is the good voice while the other is the bad voice. It really did shed light on the subject.
Although I'd like to write some more, Chris, Jessica, Mary you all did great!

I enjoyed Chris's speech on how to give an informative speech the day after a Halloween party. I thought it was very original and very funny. There was some acting involved, I hope. It's always entertaining seeing something you aren't prepared to see. He reminded me of one of the actors on SNL doing a skit.
Kelli Rodriguez
I really enjoyed listening to Georges' speech. I think it was well delivered and was very motivating. He grabed my attention and kept it throught the whole speech. His last line was awesome(memorable ending). If I had to compare him to a celebrity it would be David Beckham, the hair is all i have to say about that.
Michael Gandara
I have enjoyed all of the speaches do far. Karyns informative speech was the one that caught my attention the most. I have always been interested in how being a foster parent works, and when you are able to become one. I have much respect for what she has done. It takes a very strong person to care for children that are not your own and to help those with less means then yourself.

i enjoyed andrews speech because he was very passionate about what he was talking about. if i had to compare him to a celebrity it would be.......charles bronson?
the last comment was me
-Raveen
I have to say I enjoyed Raveen's speech. I liked that he talked about what he wanted to be and the responses that he got from his father. There was a little bit of humor there, which I think is what he was going for. Comparing him to someone might be kind of hard, because he is a one of a kind.
Leah
I also have to agree with Sal. Karyn's speech was amazing. I've always wanted to adop but never tought about being a foster parent and now I think I might consider it. I also love helping other as much as I can. Karyn!! you did an awesome job!!
