Deryn Hults Presidential Speech #1
Gandhi once said “Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength”. Our great nation is being put through some hardship, like our nation being knees deep in debt, ISIS threatening our nation, and our education system failing to provide our children with the best education possible.
My name is Deryn Hults and I believe that I am the perfect fit for President of the United States, along with my Vice President Ariana Graves. I was the vice president of the Italian Honor Society in high school, a Cornell college graduate with a major in political sciences and Senator of Louisiana; these experiences have given me the needed skills , specifically leadership skills to run the country. Being the vice president of the Italian Honor Society and having been Senator of Louisiana are not the only experiences that make me a good candidate for President, but going through my parents divorce and moving to a new town, a new school and having to learn to be independent and care for myself when my mom was busy at work or doing things to maintain the household, show that I can adapt to new situations.
As President my goal is to better the country for the children of the future and the people of today. I plan to do that by eliminating not only the threat ISIS poses on our nation, but eliminate the extremist group all together. But people cannot expect this issue to be taken care of overnight, it will take some time to solve this dilemma; the people of this country need to be supportive of our troops and the efforts the government is making to ensure their freedom and safety, knowing that the decisions made are made in their best interest.
As for foreign policy, my administration and I have created a plan to help diminish the threat of ISIS and to move towards the end of the war in Afghanistan. ISIS not only possess a threat to the U.S. but to the international community; ISIS’s goal is to create an Islamic caliphate and is threatening any nation that doesn’t follow the religion of Islam, therefore the majority of the world’s population is on ISIS’s “hit list”. Regarding the war in Afghanistan, my administration and I favor President Obama’s original plan to pull troops out of Afghanistan by the end of 2016. Not much is being accomplished, we’re spending more money than we have and we’re losing American lives. Of course as new developments come up, our efforts and actions in the Middle East could be altered. We can not pull out of the Middle East; “The normal ‘pottery barn rules’ apply. We broke it. We cannot walk away now.” We (the United States) pulled ourselves into the As I said prior about fixing the economy, solving the issues that exist in the Middle East is not going to be done overnight, it’s going to take time to clean up the mess in the Middle East.
As for the economic crisis the nation is facing, my administration and myself have devised a plan that we believe will help decrease the amount of debt our country is in, which is about 18 trillion dollars, and decrease the rate of unemployment, which as of June of 2015 the unemployment rate in the U.S. was 5.% . The health of business or any economy depends on the health of its consumers, but most American customers/consumers are stuck in a situation with little or no money to spend. Also the lower class paying more in taxes than the wealthy is not helping to make the situation any better; my Vice President and I favor the progressive tax, which taxes the rich more than the lower class.
Our education system failing is another epidemic I plan to fix if I get elected into office. Changes need to be made in the way our children learn; the way each school educates students needs to be aligned so every school is teaching the same curriculum. Also common core needs to be eliminated from our school system, it's bringing on the burden of stress on the young elementary school students of this nation. Students need to be more motivated to prevent such high school dropout rates, more than 81% of high school students need to graduate. The children, preteens, and teenagers sitting in the desk of our schools are the future of the United States; if we want a bright future we need to ensure that the students get the proper education to help them succeed in the future.
I believe that I, Deryn Hults, am the perfect candidate for America’s next President. Any candidate can make America great, but only one can make it incredible. Thank you for your time, have an incredible day.

As President Franklin Roosevelt once said ...
… “We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.”
Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon . My name is Ariana Graves and i’d like to be the next vice president of the U.S.A. My determination will help me shift this country into the amazing America everyone wants and needs. I know for a fact things can not be prepared and fixed overnight but if you just lend me your hands and ears it will make it that much easier to reach our goals. I know we can get knocked down, but that doesn’t mean we stop. I feel Franklin Roosevelt accomplished a lot in the time being in office. He tried his best to change the country. While in office, he dealt with the Great Depression and also changed it. He helped the American people regain faith in themselves. He proposed a sweeping program to bring recovery to business and agriculture, relief to the unemployed and those in danger of losing homes. While even fighting polio. He states social security with heavier taxes on the wealthy, new controls over banks and public utilities, and an enormous work relief program for the unemployed. He was even re-elected. He dealt with the attack on pearl harbor. He then agreed the future peace of the world would depend upon relations between the U.S and Russia. If he can do this imagine what we can do now. I want to recreate this country as anyone else would. I understand there will be hardships but there is nothing we can not overcome together. We have created technology and transformed it into such beautiful things. We’ve taken our society from nothing and made it something gracious. And so as the vice president i will work hand in hand with the president to make this country better for the children of the future because one day they’ll be running it. We are scared for our children's future but we are the ones who possess the power to shape and create it. We practically form their minds and they chose what to keep in it and what surroundings to take in consideration. Day by day, we and our elders still learn new lessons.Children are caring less about their education and more about what their doing tonight instead of their homework. Their killing each other over colors and flags that mean nothing. Their killing themselves. And what are we doing about it ? Imagine the lessons they learn from us. Imagine what we say and do that can change people’s minds. Imagine how much of a difference we can make if we change the little things. We don't have to start with war and chaos. We don't have to wipe out a whole country to change our problems. What we should do is learn from our past. History repeats itself and that’s just how it goes. We possess the power to change history. Not drastically if that is the problem, but enough so children aren't scared to come to school or worried about what's going to happen next in the world. So that we don't have to look at people sleeping in filth on the ground outside or have them worry about their next meal. To change people's minds to not care what others religious beliefs are or the color of their skin. This is supposed to be the land of the free and the home of the brave. Now we need to live up to it. We may have to make sacrifices, but they're worth it. I'm willing to do anything and everything to have this country realize how great we can be. Then maybe we’ll change. But the key is to do it together. You are not alone. We live together , we fight together. We don't have forever, so let us start with now. Now we will stand together, now we have to be women and men together, now we have to be whole. Just by looking at you, I can see the strength in your eyes and I believe in you all. Now I just need you to believe in me. I only anticipate we will get stronger. Thankyou all for listening to what I have to say. I am Ariana Graves and I would like be your next vice president.
