Journal 2

 This week I chose animals being in shelters and being euthanized as my topic for a speech. Here are three attention getters:

Story: There is an organization called Cross Your Paws that helps get animals out of shelters and find their forever homes before they're euthanized. In high school we do something called a senior project, for my senior project I helped plan fundraising events for them so they could raise money to help animals. They're a non profit organization so they rely on these fundraisers, which is why I decided to help them. My family also adopted one of our dogs from this organization and me and my family still help out with the organization. 

Question: Have you ever considered adopting an older dog that needs a home before they're euthanized?

Stat: Each year, approximately 920,000 shelter animals are euthanized (390,000 dogs and 530,000 cats) (ASPCA, 2022)

 Hello, my name is Tia Shook. I am from Greensburg Pennsylvania, and I went to Greensburg Salem High School. I am excited to learn some new skills in this class that can help me with my future. The main thing I look forward to taking away from this class is becoming a better public speaker. This entails channeling my nervousness, becoming more confident in front of a group of people, as well as working on not using filler words. All in all, I feel this class well help me have a successful future in the career I would like to pursuit.

Journal 7

 A lot of basic things would make me happier like money, good health and family and friends being happier. Something that would be more personal to me that would make me happier is if my dad was healthy again. He was diagnosed with cancer at the end of 2020. He went through chemotherapy and the cancer is gone now. He still struggles with neuropathy. It would make me happier to see him be fully healed from the cancer and not struggle with the side effects of it anymore. Another thing that would make me happier is if my anatomy class was easier. There is a lot of work that comes along with anatomy, and it can be stressful sometimes, but I know I can't change the amount of work I get in a class. Lastly, I wish there were better people in the world. I always hear stories about human trafficking, or people getting killed or kidnapped. I wish those things didn't happen but unfortunately those things will probably never change. I just have to focus on myself to stay happy.
