My 70th Birthday Speech

Welcome to New Haven Middle School’s Veterans Day Assembly. A lot of people think it’s just another assembly that you go to and just listen to people talk, but it’s more than just that. It’s about honoring our loved ones and the fallen ones, the ones who came back injured or scarred for life. We go to airports and gym’s where a meeting s held to welcome home our soldiers. Some kids ask their parents or someone they know about who gives us our freedom. All they have to say is someone who fights for our country. Freedom is NOT free. It may seem free because certain people are out fighting to protect us and our country. Some people throw a party or a huge welcome home gathering or make tons of signs to show their thanks. I’m sure they love it but I’m also sure all they would want is a simple thank you.

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.

Dear administrators, teachers, parents, beloved friends, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 8th grade graduation. It’s a pleasure to be standing in front of you today on this beautiful day to express the happiness we all feel.

An older man is slumped in a rigid metal chair. He is barely visible over the multiple rows of people surrounding him. His hands clasp his seat, trying to steady the rest of his body. A few tears trail down his rough cheek. The final notes of taps echo across the gymnasium. My brain takes a while to adjust to the fact that I had just seen my grandpa cry. I had never seen this tough yet loving man break down like that. I wanted to rush over to hug and comfort him. He located me in the crowd and shook his head, smiling. This was his moment. He finally acknowledged the sacrifices he had made, and was feeling true appreciation for his service. A simple middle school Veterans Day program was what it took to break through some of the pain of his

Good morning Principle Boyd, proud parents, faculty, and fellow graduates, to this extraordinary celebration breakfast, in honor of Our Lady of Grace Catholic School Class of 2017. Yes, I am graduating 8th grade, but I still have to make my bed, be nice to my siblings, do my chores, I cannot drive a car, I must continue putting my Iphone into my locker every night, so that I will not be grounded!  Nevertheless, I am graduating from Our Lady of Grace Catholic School, and I feel like I found a pot-of-gold at the end of the rainbow.

Hello Eric. I am reaching out to you today because I spoke with Anissa's father a few weeks ago, and his words are lingering with me. First and foremost, I want start off by saying that I have nothing against you as an individual, but I do have something against the way my daughter and grandson are being treated. It is not about me liking or disliking you because Anissa is going do what Anissa wants to do regardless of how I may feel, she's grown but being her mother and to see my story playing out for her too, I don't appreciate it. You left my daughter pregnant and alone for nine whole months. She worked from beginning to end, she didn't have to work because my husband and I were already working three jobs to make sure for her and Gabriel's arrival, all she had to do was

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.

I, David Kaufman, leave the student body of Sherman oaks CES with a message. Thank you. Thank you for being my second family. For eight years you raised me as one of you own. I didn't always love you in fact our first day together I cried. You seemed so unwelcoming, I feared the thought of you but in reality what I feared was change. Throughout our time together you've taught me countless lessons but most important of all you taught me how to change. Through the theatre department you opened my eyes to stage and turned me into a thespian. In athletics I tested my boundaries and gave it my all Not just for myself but the name on the front of the jersey. In clubs and organizations you allowed to me to flourish, be innovative and grow into a leader.

Hello, everyone can I have your attention please, thank you for coming for my great grandmother and grandfather's memorial. They would off been so happy seeing all of their children, grandchildren, all of the family from both sides. So, this feels like a gloomy room. If they would have seen the color of this room they would have hated it. They would’ve run to the walls and covered it up with some fresh paint. There's a time in our lives that we come back to ourselves and get serious about the events happening around us. So this memorial is one for us to take in consideration of what we are doing because all of our pasts have something in common, like for example, we were all born in Mexico and we all loved spending time with our people, our “rasa”. They wouldn't want us to be sad for them they would've wanted us to be happy and cheerful that they are no longer around to scold or yell at us for doing something.

That is exactly what I did. I am glad I fought because if I didn't fight I wouldn't be here today to tell you my story that has made me who I am today. Even though I had some difficulties learning in school I didn't get discouraged I tried my hardest and wouldn't give up and because I didn't give up I am currently nineteen years old and about to graduate from high school and have been on honor roll for four years in a row and was inducted into The National Honor Society my sophomore.

Ronald Wilson Reagan, February 6, 1911 – June 5, 2004 was an American politician and actor who served as the 40th President of the United States from 1981 to 1989. Prior to his presidency, he was the 33rd Governor of California from 1967 to 1975, following a career as a Hollywood actor and union leader. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Reagan) Reagan also served in the U.S. Army during World War Two achieving the rank of Lieutenant But due to his eyesight he was stationed stateside, creating training films. I chose this speech because of the topics he touches on. Not only the past but also the future.

“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.”

Thank you for joining us today as the City of Mobile participates in the Race for the Cure Walk in celebration of October Cancer Awareness Month. This is a special occasion for many reasons but the most significant is that we have chosen as a community to make a difference and to show our own ability to be heroes. People define heroism in so many individualized ways and the world is full of heroes that make a significant impact and have admirable traits of all kinds. Our own designated heroes affect our mindset and influence our thoughts and our actions. It is powerful and influential. To me, a true hero changes the world and provides hope and peace in the most difficult situations.
