Progress reflection
My this I believe speech is coming along great. I'm writing about how social media ruins the world. And in reality it does. I've worked on my delivery a ton and really have Ben practicing on my stance. I tend to sway back and fourth and really have fixed that. Through my practicing I have been working on talking slow and grabbing the readers attention. I'd like the reader to be engaged and really surprised with some of the things I say. My plan is for the reader to be on the edge of their seat paying close attention.
When we were assigned this speech I was very excited to get going. I knew exactly what I wanted to talk about and hopefully I can make change and put an idea in people's mind. We depend on our phones way too much. Like I said in my speech I wish we can go back into time and live there life and see how peaceful things were. Social media causes unnecessary problems and stupid information sometimes.

This I believe draft
This i believe we all want to be someone we're not. We all want to be famous. All want money. Why is this? The way Social media is now A days, everyone wants to be twitter famous or Snapchat famous. Seems pretty cool to have millions of fans and followers as a teenager. If you don't have a thousand followers your not considered "cool". We spend more time adding friends on social media rather than starting everlasting friendships. This is the generation we live in today.
Our generation has been ruined with the use of smartphones. Havng a conversation is hard to come across without a glimpse on your phone. Everyone always has there phones out, wheather its laughing about something or showing someone something we are all blinded. Technology has made us lose our communication skills. We so deeply depend on these phones on an everyday basis, that it has effected the use of in person communication in a negative way.
I believe technology will increase its expansion even more then it has. I think we all can believe this. Real life conversations will become non existent and the communication within will rapidly decrease. If I could do something about this I would. I would try to cut down on the use of phones and engage with in person conversations. People now a days cant live without internet. It's sad but true. I wish we can go back into time and live our lives with limited technology.

I believe
My senior speech will be about how I got to this point. Mainly through hard work and dedication. Even though I may not be the brightest student or the most presice. I will tell you I put 100% into everything I do. Sports have shaped me into the person I am today. Playing 3 sports for my 4 years of high school have taught me a lot. It's taught me how to be a leader and also how to deal with failure. I'm a very competitive person who hates to lose. I hate losing more then I like winning. That tells you a lot about what typ of person I am. I believe that I will be successful in life. Through hard work and determination it will take me a far way. I believe that everyone should be treated equally. Weather it's skin color, ethnicity, or weight nobody should be treated differently.
I believe in people. I'm not one to wait for someone to succeed but if someone is going through rough times I will give them a chance and really believe in them. I believe in 2nd chances because everyone makes mistakes. Everyone throughout their life makes horrible mistakes and it makes you feel like nothing. You feel ruined after a mistake and to not get a second chance in the world we live in today would be hard to do.

Teach a skill
How to juggle?
Step 1
You have to get the hang of it.
chose the right balls
beanbags are usually for beginners
make sure you have enough space for yourself to mess up and drop the beanbags or balls at the beginning.
Step 2
start practicing with two balls.
Toss ball A, and when it reaches the top of its arc, toss ball B. Practice until this simple exchange becomes comfortable.
The Exchange
With a ball in each hand, throw one across, then just as it begins to fall, throw the second ball in an arc right back to the first hand.
Common mistakes include throwing two balls in a circle, or throwing both balls at the same time.

Step 3
Try using 3 balls
start out slow and try passing three balls to each corner.
when I look at it I picture windows to my upper left and upper right and toss them directly into the windows.
for most of the time one ball will be in the air while two are in both of your hands.
This takes a lot of practice to get the hang of it
It will be frustrating at first but once you get it it's the most satisfying thing ever.

- chose the right balls
- beanbags are usually for beginners
- make sure you have enough space for yourself to mess up and drop the beanbags or balls at the beginning.
- The ball should come to eye-height or higher. Your hands should not move very much, so aim to keep your elbows at your hips.
- Toss ball A, and when it reaches the top of its arc, toss ball B. Practice until this simple exchange becomes comfortable.
- start out slow and try passing three balls to each corner.
- when I look at it I picture windows to my upper left and upper right and toss them directly into the windows.
- for most of the time one ball will be in the air while two are in both of your hands.

Step 1. Start by holding just one ball. Cradle it in your palm with your elbows at your sides and relax. This is going
Step 2. One Ball
With your hands about waist level and keeping your elbows at your sides, use a scooping motion to toss the ball gently from one hand to the other.
Step 3. The Exchange
With a ball in each hand, throw one across just like before, then just as it begins to fall, throw the second ball in an arc right back to the first hand.
Step 4. Preparing for Three
Step 5. The Third Toss
The goal this time is to do two exchanges in a row.
[1] Take three balls with two in one hand, one in the other. If you are left handed you will probably want to start with two in your left hand.
[2] Throw the first ball from the hand holding two in an arc just like before
[3] As it begins to fall, throw the ball from the opposite hand and catch the first in your empty hand (so far it’s just like before)
[4] Now, as the second ball heads to the first hand, throw the third ball across in time to catch the second ball
Finally catch the third ball in your fingers triumphantly!
Study the diagrams to help you visualize it then give it a try!

Start with one ball. Throw the ball in an arc from hand to hand about eye level. The pattern will be an arc, not a circle.
Start with one ball in each hand. First toss the ball in your right hand (1) in the arc to about eye level to your left hand. When this ball (1) reaches the highest point in it's arc . . .
Start with 2 balls in one hand (1&3) (in this case the right hand, but if you are a lefty, use your left hand) and one ball (2) in the other. Start by throwing the ball in the front of your right hand in an arc to your left hand.
Common mistakes include throwing two balls in a circle, or throwing both balls at the same time.
