I believe that no matter who you are, or who people think you are, there is a story to every peron. I wanted to get to know someone’s story but I wasn’t sure how to pick someone until my band had a gig at this Battle of the Bands thing going on. I didn’t know much of the details until I got there because our band manager isn’t the best on getting all the info out. After I got there, there were a bunch of people that had just got done with a big bike race. That was when I found out that the whole event was put on by YAMS, which stands for Youth Against Multiple Sclerosis. This organization has had multiple events that I’ve heard about before but it wasn’t until Battle of the Bands, I found out that it was run by one of the students in my grade. Her name is Lexi and her dad has Multiple Sclerosis. When you first meet Lexi, you would think she was perfect. She has been on homecoming court all three of her years in high school, is dating a football player, and is the sweetest girl you would ever meet. I thought to myself, no one could possibly be that perfect. That’s when I decided to get to know her story and how her life is affected by this. Even I was guilty of stereotyping Lexi and I wanted to find out more about what her life was really like.

Hello My name is Jemima, and I would like to congratulate you on completing this piece. I actually appreciate you chose this topic to do. Stereotypes are an unfortunate judgement, and is wrong to commit. Your diction was very clear, along with the tone in your voice. I would suggest a bit of transition music next time though. Great Job!
