    1. Spanish culture & Discipline
    -Nonnegotiable you do not disrespect your elders or talk back to your parents, and if the sound of your most likely whining voice is heard while being disciplined or getting lectured that is disrespect.
    -Lessons are taught with discipline.
    – I noticed pretty early that my mother was a bit more strict than other parents i didn’t know what other parents hands felt like but i had a feeling my mothers hands were a bit heavy, even within my family, She knew she a lot too.
    -sometimes sorry wasnt words it was the taste of fluffy mayo on ham sandwich cut into triangles, or a bowl of fruit.
    – Discipline quickly followed by sorry was confusing, it left me feeling guilty.
    2.Conflicting actions created unsure feelings
    -I received the punishment so i must have done something wrong right ?
    -i have always been a bit slow to hit the mark , I’ve always needed things explained a few times for it to “click”
    -So on days where i was punished for things i didn’t think were bad it just didn’t make sense
    – i would rerun the whole day and my actions over and over
    -guilty confused and ashamed all while eating my sandwiches
    3.IT CLICKED
    -i came home to my mother so in enraged about something that had nothing to do with me i could almost smell the sweat beads on her forehead forming.
    -It hit me, it wasn’t always me or my actions that created the anger or punishments
    -for sure sometimes it was me like when i broke the wall or painted the fence that was me but i didn’t always start the fire.
    -i was just the target that caught all of it , she was the lighting and i was the rod
    – feelings of guilt and confusion vanished
    – i now knew why all those days didn’t make sense
    -it has always been me and her vs the world , and on the days the world wins we eat ham sandwiches

    -15-year-old getting new glasses
    – checking if there are bad
    -or something wrong
    -the doctor asks me
    -am i on the phone in the dark.
    – I told him yea
    -he said not good
    -not good for your eyes.
    – the doctor told me
    -i could lose my sight

    -when i went to the doctor
    I went home took a nap
    – after waking up i was
    – hearing fire alarm outside.
    – my friend knock on my door
    -and told me the store
    – was on fire and went outside
    -the whole building was on fire.

    I remember getting close
    to my door I was smelling food.
    when I got inside my house
    my father made yellow rice, macaroni salad
    and also made chicken

    when i first had braces
    it was kind of weird
    when i had taste anything
    it felt funny
    it feels like you are chewing a wire
    was feeling uncomfortable
    sometimes i can’t even taste the food

    when i was 6-year-old
    i remember recording myself
    play fighting with brother
    i remember telling myself
    the radiator was the tope rope.
    i was creating matches
    like it was wwe ppv
    i went to get a ladder that my father had already set up before work
    I climb up to the top
    my brother moves out the way
    and i ended up breaking my left arm

    i was remembering going to the final
    in a basketball game
    and my team didn’t win
    kind of felt little emotions in the air
    to make myself stronger.
    and reflecting on the emotion
    made me stronger as a person

    Tittle: Joy of winning a DV lottery.
    Does anyone know what DV lottery is? It is a Green Card Visa to come to USA, given by US government for underdeveloped countries.
    In 2002, a postman with kaki uniform approach and asked my name to sign in a white paper.
    Gives me a large brown package/ an envelope, rectangular in shape.
    Upon asking he said, from American embassy.
    Feels like my heart would stop beating, nervous, my hands were very unstable, sweaty.
    Could hardly open the envelope.
    There are many pages of white papers.
    pulled out the top paper, it reads
    Congratulations!!!
    “You are randomly Selected for Diversity Visa”
    Wow! I couldn’t believe it, Could I be so lucky among thousands of people? I thought
    My joy of happiness was over the Moon!!!
    That moment, didn’t know what to do
    No cell phone nor land line at home to call.
    Run to closest phone boot,
    First, called sick at my work, (I was a schoolteacher)
    Secondly. Called everyone whom I know to give good news
    My brain was creating thoughts after thoughts couldn’t stop thinking.
    It’s good for me to be in a country where millions of people wanted to live.
    Again my thoughts comes, do I have the courage to leave my birth country, (Nepal ) away from my family, friends, stable job?
    That night it was hard to fall asleep.
    Next morning, woke up, took deep breath, filled up the forms and post them to American embassy.
    Thinking now, I feel myself blessed and luckiest one among thousands of people to win DV Lottery.

    Aug 21 2019 started college
    Everything was going good had friends I knew already
    Enjoying life realizing college was a place to make connections explore and find yourself

    Early September had meeting with college college advisor

    Ms. Rosairio was kind woman but serious
    she sat me down and
    told me Nyhiem it’s time to pick a major

    As I grew wary I felt nerves run through my body as I wasn’t fully sure what I wanted to do in life

    Eventually after a long talk and some deep thinking I Declared a major and had really taken interest in communications

    I was fascinated with body language being able to learn how to read people and trying to get a grasp on them

    Mid October I felt that everything was great I was up to date on my work
    I was studying for the first time in life and I even had a planner

    Feb 1 2020 had a solidified friend group
    Would go outside every weekend party explore and enjoy life as college was like a getaway

    March 2020 Covid hit everything was shut down including school, everybody had to adapt to virtually learning

    It felt like the energy was just being drained from around you a thick atmosphere and depressed looks all around no matter where you went

    Aug 2020 as summer was coming to an I felt uneasy and would often shy away from talks whenever the conversation was about college

    September 2020 sophomore year or second try you would say in college
    Covid died down and People began to go back to college as well as me
    Slowly tho I began to feel down and dreaded going to class everyday

    I began to engage less in class drawing on my paper not raising my hand and just looking all over the place until class was over
    It was clear I wasn’t interested

    Now came a point where I would routinely skip class once or twice a week depending how I felt
    I would go to the gym play basketball and just chill barley caring about class or anything for that matter

    Feb 2021 I had a meeting with my advisor I’d never forget

    With a sadden look on their face they told me without doubt I was slipping and losing focus more and more

    I put my head down while they were talking and shyed away from making eye contact as I knew they were right

    I told them I would get it together and turn things around with an awkward look on my face

    April 2021 I felt my sophomore year coming to an end

    checked my grades and saw I was failing two classes and didn’t know where life was taking me.

    After that instead of struggling trying to play catch up I made the decision that it would be my last semester of college and just go with whatever happens not knowing it would only be a gap year.

      He described how invested he was in his major in communications. He even said that he got a planner, something he never gets so it seemed like he was excited about it.

      He kept his poster during the whole presentation and even put his hand on his chest when he exclaimed that he failed two of his classes.

    How my hand injury taught me how to control my emotions
    when my mom decided to take a two week vacation to mexico w my 2 brothers and my sister
    she had asked me to take over her morning shift at her job , i had agreed to it as i used to work for the same company
    for the next two weeks my days would start at 6 am for my moms shift i would take the bus to head over to the mall
    the work was easy ,it was almost like a walk in the park
    After i would clock out i’d always get a hot chicken pizza roll rt next door
    at the time i was working at Zara, as a sales associate my job required me to deal with a lot of dumb people everyday
    the first few days things was going pretty smooth and things were going well
    as the first week was coming to an end i was already falling behind on my sleep , i would try my best to keep an eye open on the bus to ensure i dont miss my stop
    As i kept losing sleep and kept dealing with dumb customers i would get ajitated more and more
    Attempting to relieve stress by moving metal circles was my only coping mechanism
    Unfortunately my availability i had set didnt let me go much to the gym t
    One night after holding so much in and very sleepless ,my father had asked me to help him with a flower arrangement around midnight
    I felt so upset , so angry, asking myself why i couldn’t just get a full night’s rest
    Shortly after i acted purely on impulsive thoughts and with a head full of anger i punched a ceramic wall
    I quickly noticed that my hand was bleeding and that it was definitely a pretty big cut
    As we rushed to the emergency room my dad kept asking me what i had just done
    I was confused as to what had happened it all just happened so fast
    The doc had told me that i ripped my tendon and i was gonna have to need surgery and stitches rt on the spot
    I look behind me and see my dad pacing back and forth sweating , breathing hard
    Next week I had surgery at 6 am in queens ,I recall my mom had came along w me that morning
    After switching outfits into this surgery gown i was sitting in this cold chair nervous for my surgery
    I waited for what seemed like the longest 20 mins ever in my life to be called up next
    Finally its time for my surgery and im feeling anxious ,nervous, for a moment i was scared
    As the doc injects the first needle in my left arm my whole body starts to turn cold knowing i’d be asleep in less than 2 minutes
    Finally he injects the anesthesia and in that same moment my mind goes blank
    He puts my head down and says rest and I wake up 2 hours later like nothing ever happened
    Still disoriented from the anesthesia Im so confused i dont even know my name
    I cant feel my right arm its so heavy its almost as if they cut it off
    As I try to move my left hand its usless as it hurts just as much
    As I put my head back down and stare at the ceiling I think about how ima get outa here
    When I look back up and theres a nurse ready to help me up
    As I sit up I feel my right arm is as heavy as a rock ,left arm feels like I had gotten stabben ,I was so dizzy I told them to give me a minute to adjust
    As this nurse assistant comes to help me get dressed i cant even stand my legs feel like wet spaghetti noodles in my head the room is spinning so fast
    As they put me in this wheelchair Im cold Im dizzy Im hungry Im tired I was ready to just die
    Thankfully the surgery went well and after taking therapy ive fully recovered

      1) He was descriptive of how his father was pacing and made the metaphor of how it’s like he’s having his first kid to show how nervous his dad was.

    High on Life: Public Speaking Outline

    When I was a kid
    I always felt like I was running from something
    Something intangible
    You know how they say kids can’t sit still
    Not because of hyperactivity but antsy/anxious
    Everytime I sat in my emotions I cut them out. Everytime I didn’t know something, I would fake like I did.
    Filled the gap with soccer, reading, normal things
    Still always running. Figuratively.

    Opportunity
    Being a child allows you to focus on one or two things
    As you get older, you realize world isn’t this easy
    Fun things don’t come around as often and the amount of things to stress about increase.
    When I got into middle & high school, I was still running
    Quicker & accessible things to help run and hide
    Let’s go play became hit this, take this bump, etc

    Addiction
    I loved the rush of that, the goosebumps when I tried something new and the rush of blood to the head when I did more.
    Falling apart. School, Soccer, Family.
    Now I wasn’t only running from this abstract feeling, but now from these problems I had created for myself.

    Routine

    One day
    Mound of unfinished homework and an eight ball in my pocket.
    You could smell the faint gasoline smell coming out but it never seemed as if my parents noticed.
    Swinging
    Numb
    Physically and mentally.
    Sour taste in my mouth and salivating so much I was nearly drooling.
    Crashing & Spinning
    Timer
    Warm & Cold

    What felt like the end
    Swaying/Running
    911
    I had no answers.
    World black.
    Uber Home
    Sitting in my backyard.

    Lessons

    I must have sat there, 45 minutes.
    My whole life, I wasn’t running from life, adulthood, or new responsibilities.
    I was running from myself.
    And running turned me into a worse person than the real Elijah ever would’ve been.
    And a smile grew on my face. Knowing in escaping death, I had found life.

      -Your commitment to the body language was really good but maybe take your mistakes/stutters in stride a little more! We all do it.

      -“Enough to make you want to crumble” is a really good descriptor.

      Whole body shaking coming off the plane that first day shows how his nerves got him jittery vividly remembering his first day being a little scared/traumatized

      Felt a sense of his freedom being taken away and lied to
      Almost being in jail compared to actually the navy

      1) One detail he explained he was in the soccer team and how he was team captain and had to make sure he had everyone on point.

      2) When explaining his story, he was very open and was moving his hands with every emotion explained.

      Great job for going first!!

      In terms of posture, very gesture heavy with the hands, right off the bat. But I actually liked the gestures because it made me lean into the story. Tendency to lean back on your heels towards the beginning. Might want to consider bringing outline closer to eye level for reference.

      “The final was on Thursday, there was a myriad of emotions on people’s faces (fear, excitement, and everything in between).”

      Descriptive about his finals:
      – “on a Thursday”
      – “10 minutes later they scored 2”
      – “I remember I took the free kick”
      – “Everybody was shaking me, they threw me up in the air”
      Posture:
      Slouching a bit; but got together afterwards

      She was moving from side to side. She made good eye contact
      “Always trust your guts”
      “she was proud of herself that she was able to get her work done”
      love how she express what she been thru but most all love how she kept it calm

      Mariam started off way to fast but she fixed it. and everything she told was calm and a good message. her hand movement is everything. it matches with her words. her eye contact is pretty good.

    -I told him yea he said not good
    – not good not good for your eyes.
    the doctor told I could lose my sight

    when i went to the doctor
    -I went home took a nap after waking up
    -I was hearing alarm inside the house,
    -kind felt lazy getting up but something told me to

    My grandmother was calling out my sleep
    because she was smelling something burning,
    she told me to check the kitchen
    told her nothing burning in the kitchen-
    -so, when i check the hallway, it smokes.

    -two weeks later I had braces it was kind of weird
    -when I want to eat anything just wire that I’m tasting
    -it felt funny was feeling uncomfortable.
    sometimes feel like pain
    sometimes feel like pulling teeth

    when i was looking back, when i was 6 years old
    -i remember recording myself
    – play fighting with brother i remember telling myself
    -the radiator was top rape.
    -I was creating matches like it was wwe ppv
    I went to get a ladder that my father had setup
    I climb up to the top my brother moves out the way and i ended up breaking my left arm

    I am remembering going to the final
    – in basketball game and my team didn’t win
    -kind of felt little emotions in the air
    – so, i use my emotions to make myself stronger
    -and reflecting on the emotion,
    made me stronger as a person.
    – after a while kind did to learn my emotions
    -but after i find out my grandmother have canceled
    -kind took a tour on me
    – I didn’t know how to express to my counselor.
    – after while she beat it, she beat cannel 3 times
    she told me she was scared, but she conquers that fear
    to overcome, and she spoke to me if i could conquer this pain.
    you can with speaking front of an audience.

    1) Mentions how she was very nervous because she was going back home alone and didn’t know what to expect.

    2) Very confident when speaking, had her hands thrown up when she said she was excited.

    1.first day in class
    September 2021

    What was in my head – a self-introduction presentation
    By the time it was my turn, I had a few ideas in mind.
    I wanted to do my best and make a good impression on my classmates.
    The first day of study abroad class.
    Classmates for the next three months
    Be too nervous to fail.
    His vision was beating so fast that it was almost pitch black, and his eyes were fast enough to be heard.
    I bit my lip in stress. It felt the taste and smell of the iron in the blood.

    2. Reasons for nervousness
    Japan personality that people sometimes have.
    I only had one chance.
    I’m not used to making eye contact with people.
    Fear of failure.

    3. How has it changed?

    – Collaborated with peers and deepened teamwork.
    – Eventually, the loss was gone and I felt like I had a great time.
