I am going to tell you about my brother, Jacob & what he has went through as a child and even now. As a child Jacob has gone through so much, and to me it’s truly unbelievable. When Jacob was first born, the doctors knew that there was something seriously wrong with him. He couldn’t breathe, so the doctors stuck a breathing tube down his throat but instead of it going down his esophagus it went down his trachea. Putting it down his trachea made everything worse, because he had to be lifeflighted to Hershey for an emergency heart surgery, and this was when he was first born. Jacob’s first heart surgery took 6 hours, 6 hours of waiting and making sure Jacob is gonna make it. The doctors never thought Jacob would’ve made it, and neither did my

Brief summary of speech - Ronald Reagan’s address is a commemorative speech meant to honor the victims of the Challenger disaster and bring hope to a nation facing tragedy by encouraging the continuation of space travel. According to our textbook, a commemorative speech is “When we speak to praise, memorialize, or celebrate...a person, event, or idea” (Houck, ch. 4). In this speech, Reagan’s main focus is to memorialize the victims of the Challenger disaster, but he also aims to celebrate and praise their dedication to exploration.
“Like having bonus kids. Didn’t intend on having them but don’t wanna give them back.“ Chris said about having stepkids. Chris Becker also has a son named Tyler Becker. He isn’t his blood related son either. He was adopted when he was about nine years old maybe a little bit younger or older. He was married to Tyler’s birth mom, but she later made wrong choices and Tyler was taken away from her. Chris then adopted him. Chris is very thankful to have the experience of having kids, and in some ways he felt it was hard to raise three kids all at different ages. He said “We’re always worrying about them. It will never go away it, just won’t. They are little humans running around the house not able to take care of themselves depending on us. Look at Tyler, he is twenty-two years old, I still worry about him. It never goes away because you raised them their whole life, little on up. Not being able to do it themselves. It’s a good kind of worry though. It’s really hard to explain, you’ll understand it when you’re older and have kids.”
VI. When I was born he taught me to be the strongest person I could be and to do my absolute best at everything I try.
Looking back on my life, there were many difficult times my family and I went through. Those difficult times, however, became my motivation for pursuing a career in the medical field. Growing up my brother had to overcome many different obstacles. At five years old he started talking after we thought he never would. In kindergarten he contracted meningococcal meningitis and was hospitalized for a long period of time. A couple years later his appendix ruptured while waiting in the hospital emergency room. After a couple weeks he had to be transferred to Akron Children’s Hospital where he stayed for another month. During those times
Honestly, both my mom and I--whenever we watch you--I know you haven't done all the plastic surgery stuff, but you look incredible. And I know it's not just the physical. You have lots of joy and happiness with what you're doing, and you have that inner light that radiates out.

Have you ever been driving and on a side of the road you see a plaque or a building with a plaque in front of it? Those are called memorials. Today I’m going to tell you a little about memorials and why they are important. Lets just say there are a lot of really cool memorials such as the Gateway Arch in St.Louis, Missouri, Steilneset Memorial to victims of the witch trials in Norway, or the Pentagon memorial in
My mother, she is a powerful women who carries the weight of the world on her shoulders, but yet she acts like she is free, she acts like she is as light as a feather, she doesn’t let anything overcome her smile. It is the world vs her and her pocketbook. She holds her red lipstick in the bag. The red lipstick she wore to her double mastectomy. 2010 was the last time she wore her fire truck red lipstick as the doctors wheeled her into the operating room. Her red lips empowered her. They symbolized that the doctors can remove her breast to relieve her of the braca gene but no matter what she is still a women, she can still feel beautiful when she looks down to see nothing but 2 scars and surgical scar tissue. Her red lipstick in the side pocket

When I started doing this tribute speech I had the wrong definition of the word tribute. After talking about it in class and explaining to me I had a better thought process. The tribute speech I am writing about is about my father. I want to tell how important he has been in my life and everything he has done for me.
I. Thesis I would like to share with you all, someone in my life who has influenced me greatly, my grandma Isidora Palacios. Without a doubt my grandma is my, number one fan, best friend, counselor and my biggest inspiration she is completely amazing. I can only hope and pray that one day I'm at least half the amazing woman she is! She can fall 100 times and she will get back up 100 times again with confidence and a smile on her face.

On January 3, 2009 around 11:00 PM the phone rang with what I thought was exciting news about my newly born sister, Tristyn ,but quickly turned to horror. I could heard the fright in my dad's shaken voice as he told me Tristyn had to go into immediate heart surgery because she needed a stent to open up the blood flow to her heart. Being eight at the time the only thing I could think about was how she might not make it. My dad said to me “look after your sisters, and tell them nothing about the surgery”, which terrified me more than before. I knew I needed to be brave and take charge of the situations for my sisters. Bravery is something I learned for a situation I never knew would happen.
When I turned 11-years-old my whole childhood began to change my life went from being perfect to everything but perfect. One day I came home to hear the news my father, my best friend; my hero was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. Not knowing the struggle my family was about to take on I just began to cry. I had a million things running through my head what’s going to happen? Will everything be okay? Why him? What is going to happen? With all these things rushing through my head all I could do was cry not knowing this was least worse to come.
Many call him rich but I call him dad. He is the man who has taught me to be the person I am today. My dad has been there for me every day since I was born, and what my family and I have put him through I probably would have gone crazy a long time ago. My dad is literally the only man in our house. It is my dad, my mom, my older sister Olivia, me, and my younger sister Aliza. Even my dog is a girl, even my litter sister’s fish is a girl. I don’t know how he does it, I really don’t. But the thing is he deals with all of us girls every day and he still is one of the most kind hearted men I know. My dad is the nicest man not just to me but to everyone he knows. He always treats others the way he wants to be treated. We live in a neighborhood
