Speak Final Assessment

1. One of the times my inner voice and outer voice were in disagreement was when I was failing some of my classes and didn’t ask for help. I don’t think I spoke up and asked my teachers about it was because I felt like I couldn’t keep up with all of my work. This action caused myself and my parents to be upset that I was getting bad grades and I had a lot of work to catch up on. I can relate to this now because my grades aren’t very good although I am staying after and doing all that I can to make up the work that I missed. I wanted to ask for help when I needed it but I felt really stressed out with all the work I was missing so I didn’t say anything. This problem could have easily been solved if I had just asked for help ahead of time before I had a lot of work to catch up on. My outer voice was to not say anything and I made the wrong decision by doing that because I need to do the work in order to bring up my grades and be happy with how I am doing

2. One of the times my inner voice and outer voice were in harmony was when people were talking about my brother and calling him names so I said something to them because they were being unfair and I wanted to stand up for my brother and nobody should treat him like that. I felt that it was right to do because I am not going to let anyone talk to my brother in that way. They were bullying him and they were wrong for doing that so I told them not to talk to him like that. I think that if you see somebody getting bullied and picked on you should think about how you would feel if you were them and stand up for that person.

3a. I think that Melinda’s inner voice helps her through the tough times she has because she can be funny and sarcastic. The way she thinks about certain situations in her head aren’t ever heard because she is too afraid to speak aloud.
