Reflection
HI! My name is Shanita Castro. I was born on May 31 on this beautiful island of Saipan. I have 3 brothers. I do not have any children yet. I graduated from Kagman High in the year 2014. I am currently a student here at Northern Marianas College and I am majoring in Education under the fields of "SPED." I believe we who want to become teachers can educate and teach the younger generations to make a change in our society today. the reason to me majoring in sped is because I was inspired of the things they can do even with their disability. The main reason to why i wanted to major in sped is because of my grandmother who was blind and didnt get to see any of her grandchildren. This coming spring I will be obtaining my first degree in Liberal Arts emphasis in Education. On my free time I like spending it with great friends and family at the beach or anywhere. I love to travel and in the near future i would love to visit New York City.
My goals is to pass the my classes this semester and to continue on with school until i am done.

This I Believe Speech
I believe in the concept of “family is forever.”
When I was in elementary my mother would always tell me that “family is forever.” She would say things like “whose going to be at your bed side if something happens to you?” definitely not your friends first but your family. I heard this starting from age of 12 till the present day. Every time she talks about those kinds of things I just want to close my ears just so I don’t hear it. But trust me when I say this, the things we don’t want to hear or the things that irritates or gets on our last nerve are the things that we should actually open our eyes and listen carefully with our ears.
Yes, I was stubborn enough to not care about what my mother was trying to instill in me but I did believe what my mother was saying. She always reminded me verbally that people will always come my way; in fact many, thousands or maybe more and when they do she wants me to observe and open your eyes and do good things for those people. Be the good person to others how I would want others to be towards myself. Trust me I am a believer especially because I know that our parents want what’s best for their children.
I am a believer because it happened to me; no it wasn’t a car accident it wasn’t a fight. It was the night before New Year’s when I was out with “my so called friends,” You ever imagine if you just listen and let the words sink in of what your mother was trying to say? Because when my friends throw dirty on me I still treated them like how I would want to be treated. There comes a certain point where we cut out on the treatment of other only because we can only take so much before we explode. But I remember my mother’s saying that night when I got robbed from “my so called friends” the night I lost almost a thousand bucks. At this time I didn’t care about the money, I didn’t care about the tears that I didn’t shed that I should of, I didn’t care about friends. I could of shed so many tears but that definitely won’t bring back my wallet with my money nor will it bring back the friendship I had with those people. I wanted to be with my mom it is because of the thing she taught me I am a believer.
It was four in the morning when I told myself that I didn’t need my friends and that I don’t have any friends. Because friends don’t do things like that to other friends? It was then that I believe that family is forever. It was late during that night or early morning when I called my mom. I could have called my other friends or my cousins but I believed my mom. I believe in the concept of family is forever. When I need things or help I don’t lean on friends I lean on family. I highly prioritize my family but it could have been like this since but I had to learn the hard way.
This could have been prevented but like a stubborn child like me I am always an id child that I want things my way. So I had to learn the hard way but I am a believer on that strong phrase my mother taught me that “family first,” and I can say don’t wait until it’s too late. Listen while you can and observe the people around you those two things don’t hurt. Remember you can have many friends but family is forever make them your priorities. Become a believer of family first because friends just stick around until they get tired but family they can’t run or hide because they’re always there. Blood is thicker than water so chose your side.

REFLECTION
My favorite speech is my "this i believe" speech. Why? because i think it emphasize more on what people believe in and what we can see the way they view life itself. There are certain things that people believe in that some of their speech are funny some are sad and some are just plain. it is with a believer that anything they believe in puts more meaning into their lives. Creating something for the better of what is yet to come.
As of right now my goals are being met but i will still have to continue on with fulfilling the long term ones.
