Some friends of Devon that she’s very close with is moi (obviously), Lindsay, Natalie, Cara, Lauren, Kate, Celine, and Deanna. Some of her short term goals are to get onto varsity field hockey and get A’s and B’s for the school year. Devon also has some long term goals including going to a good college and eventually going to med school in the near future. …show more content…

Some negative traits of Devon are her being annoying and obnoxious at times. One thing that Devon accomplished that she’s very proud of is making varsity lacrosse her freshman year of highschool. Since we’re mentioning lacrosse let's take a moment and talk about on of her embarrassing moments. While playing in her lacrosse game she fell on her face and ended up with a black eye. One word that describes Devon is very unique. Lastly, on person who inspires her day after day is her mother. Her mother is a nurse and Devon wants to be a nurse when she’s older. Also, her mother is very strong which inspires Devon to be strong as well. In conclusion, I hope from me giving this speech that you have a better understanding of who Devon
