Childhood Memories

Looking back on my life I can say I had an awesome childhood. I remember playing in the sandbox and in the pool in the summer and sledding down my front lawn when in the winter. I also remember helping out my dad while he remolded our house. I would be playing with my fake hammer and saws and pretending to build things. Also I remember playing tee ball and soccer. Every Saturday morning would be game day and I would get so excited to play in the soccer game.

Wilkes Newspaper

When I was looking through the Wilkes newspaper called the Beacon, I saw the headline Wilkes Football looses to Widener 90-0. At first I thought it was a typo. I never heard of a team scoring 90 points in a football game. After skimming through the rest of the article it actually was the correct score. I think it is classless of the other team to run up the score. After scoring the first 5 or 6 touchdowns I think the coach should have taken out the starters and told the team to stop scoring. Being an athlete in High School I know what it is like to loose a game but loosing by 90 points must have been demoralizing. 

One thing I would change

If there could be one thing I could change in my life it would be where I went to college. Do not get me wrong I like Wilkes University but I wish I went further away from home. I have not been to many places outside of the north eastern part of the United States and would like to see what it is like living somewhere else. Ideally I would have liked to gone to a school in the south. After growing up in the Pocono Mountains where its always so cold and snowy in the winter it would be nice to be somewhere where it is nice all year round. But for now I am stuck in Wilkes Barre

Dalton Sherman's Speech

The young Dalton Sherman's keynote speech included many great speech techniques such as  repetition, connecting personally with the audience, and humor. For my first speech I took some of these concepts and used them as my own. I choose to write my speech as an athlete who has won an award. I used humor and repetition throughout my speech. I stated many times that if it was not for my family, teammates, and coaches I would not have been standing up here accepting the award.

Fairytales

         My favorite fairytale growing up as a kid was definitely Rumpelstiltskin. I thought it was cool that the troll like guy could spin straw into gold. When I was little my older sister was in this play in high school and I really enjoyed it. I could not really tell you the moral of the story though, the girl who never actually spins the straw into gold gets married to the king. She lives happily ever because she guessed the troll's name. His name was Rumpelstiltskin and he runs away, never to be seen again.
