Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!!!

Hey, everybody who is checking my blog!!! I'm just gonna say "HAPPY MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. DAY!!!" I hope everybody is celebrating.

Comment what your going to celebrate today.

I wrote a speech about Martin Luther King Jr. and memorized it, then, I said it in front of my whole class at school! I asked my teacher to grade it, and she gave me an A-minus. I was so close to getting an A-plus though. So, everybody did a speech. And the speech was worth 40 points. But I got 38 points.

My Speech for Martin Luther King Jr:

Hello, my name is Megan Ortiz. My speech project inspired me because I always wanted to tell everybody how I feel so I can make a difference and make things better. Well, it all started out when I heard this quote from Martin Luther King Jr. : “The time is right to do what is right.” And that reminded me that ever since I was in 1st grade I always wanted to make a difference for the future.

I know that Martin Luther King Jr. was a very noble man because I agree with what he said “The time is right to do what is right” and I know that we can do that too. I have three special things that are important to me and you.

Number 1: I would persuade people to recycle more and concentrate at school. Don’t you want our future to be clean and nice? I think so! I want to be a nice, obedient, and a smart girl! I would support my family and make them proud!

Number 2: I also want to respect my friends and family the same way. I do not have a favorite, I like everyone the same and I treat everybody the same. I felt bad for the people at the time of Martin Luther King Jr’s speech, because the white and black were treated differently. But from now on I’m gonna treat everybody the same way.

Number three: I am gonna change the future into a better place! I know that the time is right, to do what is always truly right. So we should always try to do what we believe is right. I hope everybody will feel the same way as me. Let’s make the world a better place for everybody. I think that is what Martin Luther King Jr. wanted.
