¶ … Committed
Good day, ladies and gentleman. I extend my deepest thanks to all of you for coming out to this occasion. Your presence here is an honor to all of us, and we're all happy to be able to share in our experiences with you. If there's one thing that this entire experience has shown me, it's the importance of hard work and dedication. If I've discovered anything, it's that hard work and dedication can truly help one transform oneself and one's life.
My Background
I've worked tremendously hard to earn my degree and I continue to work hard in order to better my life and the lives of the people closest to me -- my family friends and community. Ever since I was a child, I was no stranger to hard work, which is fortunate, as my life has been full of it. However, more than anything, I've learned the value of hard work is overall the creation of change and that hard work can make one into a better person. That has indeed been my experience. I am a full-time student and also work as a full-time registered nurse: I work a lot of extra hours to pay our bills because my husband has no job and together we have five children: five, 10, 12, 14, and 16 years old.
Our plan was never for me to become the sole breadwinner of the family: however, my husband became sick and I had to take care of our children, my schooling and all our work together. I take on as many extra hours as possible, to make life easier for my kids. I remember very clearly that it's simply not easy to be a kid and that there are all sorts of peer pressures. If I can provide them with...
My husband, I know, feels tremendously guilty for getting sick, and I try to help him and relieve that horrible burden of guilt.
For the past few years, I've put my own needs aside and it's been easy to do: there's so much work that needs to be done -- from my schoolwork, to my kids' needs, to my husband's needs to my patients' needs. However, the only reason I've been able to cast my own needs aside so successfully is because my friends, family and neighbor have been looking out for me so strongly. My mother helps babysit my kids whenever we need her too -- as do my neighbors, nieces and cousins. Everyone in my family tries to help out with our household as much as they can, in the form of childcare or cooking or cleaning or helping my husband with his medications or other things that need to be done when I'm not around. Given all this help, I feel like I have an extreme debt to pay off and I'm eager to do so. I want to help all the people who have helped me so much and who have made my life easier through their extreme kindness. I would not have earned my degree if it were not for their kindness and generosity.

Students' Right to Free Speech The right of student to free speech is a matter that has been debated over years. Where many people claim that students, just like any other group of people, have the right of free speech, others claim that students should know where their limits end. Therefore, at many schools, colleges and universities, the students are provided with a code of conduct that they have to follow.
Responding to Student HarassmentStudent harassment is one of the major issues in today�s schools and requires the attention of school principals, administrators, and staff. The school�s administration should establish measures for preventing and dealing with student harassment. This is critical because legal issues involving student-on-student harassment are usually extremely fact-specific and differ widely. Julia�s claim is an example of a student-on-student harassment case that needs to be addressed by the
Speech Pathology Some of my earliest childhood memories involve the brief period during first or second grade when I had to overcome a stuttering problem. I remember the social discomfort of worrying about how people might react to me once I started talking. I also remember the frustration of people talking to me as though I was unintelligent because they drew that conclusion from my speech pattern without listening to what
