Operation Red Sprinkles
Anisha shenai, Salutatorian, Danvers High School, MA.
"Good afternoon and welcome. I would like to acknowledge and thank family, friends, teachers, administrators, and of course, fellow members of the Danvers High School class of 2010 for making the past four years as memorable and as amazing as they were.
Though we find ourselves today as seniors on the brink of graduation, I ask all of you, for just a moment, to remember the September of 2006, when we first entered Danvers High School as timid young freshmen. We perceived high school as an uncharted no-man's-land. We wanted simply to survive. The pursuit of excellence took second priority, as we strived to be merely good enough - only satisfactory academically, socially, and in extracurriculars. Overwhelmed, only in the beginning, we resigned ourselves to the ordinary; we resigned ourselves to the "plain vanilla," or we resigned ourselves to the "plain chocolate," as I prefer to say. Let me explain what I mean by this.
When I was younger, my mother was an avid supporter of all sorts of activities designed to bond mothers and daughters. One year, she decided that, with Valentine's Day just around the corner, making a cake together would be wonderful. As I, at the time, only had all the culinary prowess of any other typical eight-year-old, she enlisted me to decorate and frost, while she would mix and bake. We set out the ingredients and were finally ready to begin. Suddenly, my mother was alarmed to see that nowhere within this cluster of eggs and flour did we have any sprinkles! A Valentine's Day cake without red sprinkles simply would not do, she declared. So we embarked upon a mission: Operation Red Sprinkles.
The first store that we visited held only brown chocolate sprinkles. They had run out of red ones, as it was so close to Valentine's Day. I suggested we just purchase the brown and be done with it; they all taste the same anyways. However, my mother refused. She insisted that we would find them eventually. Indeed, one and a half hours and six stores later, there they were, sparkling scarlet in a plastic shaker.
Later, I asked my mother why she was so insistent that we find those red sprinkles, instead of accepting the plain brown ones that were so readily available. Was it really worth all that time and effort to search for the red, merely for the sake of aesthetic value? Her answer was enough to make me understand.
"Rani," she began, employing the Indian term of endearment she saves for such particularly significant conversations. "Brown sprinkles are basic. They are good enough to make the cake taste as it should, but not for anything more. Red sprinkles are beyond just simple; they are extraordinary." And suddenly I could see. The red sprinkles, in serving a purpose that transcends the mere gustatory senses, had in them a flicker of passion, of life. They were greater than mediocre. They were greater than plain. They were greater than mere sprinkles. They were red sprinkles, and that made all the difference.
The great American author Mark Twain once stated the following: "Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live." In her quest for the red sprinkles, in her desire to follow the dream rather than to simply opt for the easily attainable reality, my mother showed me the worth in searching for life rather than accepting mere existence. To settle for the ordinary brown would be to concede to the need for basic survival, rather than to continue to strive for anything more.
Fellow classmates, in our four years at Danvers High School, I do believe that every one of us has abandoned the primitive search for brown chocolate sprinkles -- the search to which we so desperately clung when we first entered high school. Instead, we now embrace the ambition for red sprinkles, the desire to be extraordinary. In our time in high school, we have all realized that it is not enough just to get by, just to be simply average. We have reached the understanding within ourselves that neutrality and simplicity are not enough. And we have seen the need to be passionate rather than to float along unfeeling, rather than to simply exist.
Each of us in the class of 2010 has found that source of passion, that shimmering spark of life which allows us to go beyond mere existence. We are gifted musicians. We are inspired artists. We are champion athletes. We are dedicated employees. We are serious students, and above all, we are more than what we once thought we could be. We were able not only to survive the perceived no-man's-land of high school, but to flourish with intensity and power. As a class, we went beyond our original hopes of mediocrity, to create and attain dreams of magnificence. After four years in high school, we have become rational but passionate, pragmatic but emotional, logical but idealistic. We contradict ourselves and it is wonderful. It is wonderful, because I know that it is this paradoxical state that will guide us. It will ground us in the realities of the present, but still never allow us to cease forging onwards and upwards, forever in pursuit of that glimmer that separates the plain from the remarkable.
So be remarkable. Let a flame of passion illuminate your way. Be extraordinary. Stray from the dullness of shadows, into a radiant glow. Feel. Dream. Live. And never concede. Never settle for anything less, as you move full speed ahead in the quest for a life full of light and color. Thank you."

Introduction for the celebrant
Give three examples of specialization and division of labor in what areas are you and your friends thinking of specialization what might be the perils of over specialization?
- 1 answer
The enormous efficiency of specialization allows the intricate networking of trade among people and nations that we see today. very few of us produce a single furnished good; we make but the tiniest fraction or what we consume we might teach a small part of one college's curriculum, or empty coin from parking matter or separate the genetic material of fruiting files, in exchange of this specialized labor we still receive income adequate to buy goods from over the world.
Advantage economics engage in specialization and division of labor, which increases the productivity of their resources.
ANSWER
Explain what happens if the market price starts too high or too low? i belong to Pakistan so i definitely try to think about the specialization in agriculture because my country has 70% dependency on agriculture... cost of production of agriculture products are far less than other countries... so my area will be agriculture.
the perils of specialization are its disadvantages... in some cases monopolies generated through this type of specialization.

Good farewell speech for seniors students by juniors students?
- 1 answer
Most of our life is a series of images. They pass us by like towns on the highway. But sometimes, a moment stuns us as it happens. And we know that this instant is more than a fleeting image. We know that this moment... every part of it... will live on forever
The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past, and recognize that every day won't be sunny. And when you find yourself lost in the darkness of despair remember, it's only in the black of night that you see the stars, and those stars lead you back home.
"So don't be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble and fall, because most of the time the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you'll get everything you wish for. Maybe you'll get more than you ever could have imagined. Who knows where life will take you. The road is long and in the end, the journey is the destination."

Um, go for something that is really straight from your heart. That would bring about the emotions, trust me! Go for incidents that you think really had an impact on you!
You can go for something like this...
Well. it's finally come. To sum up an entire life spanning over 14 years in just a few moments is definitely not easy! There was a certain ritualistic joy to the whole routine. You know, the buying of new textbooks and then sitting one evening with reams of brown paper to cover them before sticking on a label with your name and class clearly marked. The new pencil box, school bag, the slightly bigger school uniform that I could grow into during the course of the year and so on! And this newness persisted once school actually began. The chance to bag a better seat than the one I had last year, then you know, all the jostling to ensure that my best friends sit next to me! All told, there was a promise of a new beginning and I'm sure it was the same for all you people as well! I'll just end by saying that just be yourself and you'll be aweeesome! :)

What is the role of the English monarch in today's world affairs?
- 1 answer
The English monarch has very little power left today, especially when compared to the monarchy's power in the past. However, the English monarch, currently Elizabeth II, is more of a head of state or representative of the country. The monarch does have a lot of influence in world affairs because of her position, wealth and historical importance, but generally it is the British government headed by the Prime Minister that deals with England's involvement in world Affairs. Undoubtedly, the finest ambassador a country could hope for.

What is the definition of teamwork?
- 1 answer
Teamwork is defined as: "co-operation between those who are working on a task." Commonly teamwork is understood as co-operation and willingness to work together. For example we often use the phrase:" he or she is a good team player", meaning that they have the interests of the team at heart, working for the good of the team.
Teamwork is a collection of actions by individuals that serve a common purpose or goal. It also suggests subordinating the needs of the individual to the needs of the group. In essence, each person on the team puts aside his or her individual needs to work towards the larger group objective. The interactions among the members and the work they complete is called teamwork.
Teamwork is not limited to working together, but it collectively means to achieve whatever is planned, by helping each other. Teamwork is the spirit to care for others in your group : help them, support them, and then win together.
A teamwork may be signified as in the form of a process of working collaboratively with a group of people in order to achieve a goal.It is considered to be an important part of a business, as it is often necessary for colleagues to work well together, trying their best in every circumstance.In other way, it means people will try to co-ordinate with each other,using their individual skills and will provide constructive feedback,despite any persoanl conflict between individuals.
Word Definitions List
1. A cooperative effort by a group or team.
2. Work produced by a group or team.
3. The combined effective action of a group.
4. Work done by several associates with each doing a part but all
subordinating personal prominence to the efficiency of the whole.
5. The work or coordinated effort of a team or group of people to
produce a desired result, an anticipated goal, or a common end.
6. Work done by a number of associates, usually each doing a clearly
defined portion, but all subordinating personal prominence to the
efficiency of the whole.

What is a good short speech on Indian Independence Day for kids?
- 1 answer
INDEPENDENCE DAY means a day when India gained its freedom from British rule.
India was under the British rule for 3-4 centuries. It was in 1857 that India started its independence struggle forcefully through a revolt named "The Great Revolt" against the British.
Mahatma Gandhi was the spine and brain behind the Indian independence struggle. Gandhi promoted "Nonviolence" or "Ahimsa" against the cannons and rifles of the British. His words of wisdom were followed by almost every Indian of that age, to follow nonviolence and struggle with perseverance, and the British finally manumitted India from its bondage. India's independence struggle is a huge epic on its own. Nonviolence was the weapon used to free India. That's why India, even today, doesn't want to resort to force or war unless there is some menace to the security/integrity of Indian unity.
India gained independence after nearly 200 years of British rule on 15 August 1947, and the Indian tricolor flag was unfurled by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, on the ramparts the Red Fort of Delhi. I am proud to be an Indian.
