For my communications class we have to do a speech introducing someone in the class. Here is what i have come up with. Please tell me what you guys think.



One of Bob Ryan's child dreams ironically, was to someday comprehend every aspect of the moon. What makes his dream ironic is that Bob and the moon are indeed alike in many ways.

Just as the moon has taken many beatings apparent by its craters on the surface, so has Bob. At the age of 6 he broke his arm while riding a bike with his only sibling Mary. While watching his favorite football team, the Washington Redskins, Bob fell down the bleacher’s and broke his leg. Unfortunately he also dislocated his shoulder while he was at practice for the Merdock high school baseball team.

Similar to the moons hidden side we never see, Bob’s emotional side can also be concealed. He finds pleasure in writing poetic rhymes about love which is why his preferred music genre is rap and R&B. For charity Bob makes an effort every month to gather unwanted furniture and clothes from friends and neighbors to send to goodwill.

Like the moons ambivalent past, Bob’s future is also conflicting and unknown. He plans to transfer to the University of Maryland after this semester. As for a major, Bob is not yet sure, but feels that business is the best choice. After college Bob hopes to own his own business.

But whatever obstacle life throws at him, one thing is certain- just as the moons gravitational force raises the tide, Bob’s remarkable determination will raise him to the top.
