Speech About My Birthday

The sky was always blue holding sunshine rays in her world. Her name was Rosaline Deponte, my great-grandma. The continuous smile that she showed on her face reminded us how precious life is and to not take things for granted. Cold wood floors that could easily freeze toes, single-walled construction, shut rows of jalousie windows, and the smell of warm sweet bread on the counter 24/7, that was Rosaline’s house.

“The seventieth birthday! It is the time of life when you arrive at a new and awful dignity; when you throw aside the decent reserves which have oppressed you for a generation and have stand unafraid and unabashed upon your seven-terraced summit and look down and teach-unrebuked. You can tell the world how you got there.” Mark Twain

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.

Today wasn’t your average day. I woke up with an awkward huge smile that stretched from ear to ear. Obviously I was over anxious, and filled with excitement, like on those rare days your mom treats you to dinner. It was all because today was my best friend’s birthday! From the vibrant blue skies to the aroma of breakfast with unfortunately had passed, that aside today was going to be perfect or so I thought.

You don’t know how many people on walking then that really good because there are lots of people walking.

It’s my 13th birthday! I'm finally a teenager! My mind is running wild with all the things I want to do today. Spend the day with my friends at school; go out to dinner at the restaurant of my choice, birthday wish phone calls and cards and birthday presents!! The only drag about today is I have a doctor’s appointment with an orthopedic spine specialist because my regular doctor said he noticed a slight curve in my spine called Scoliosis. No big deal right? Well that’s what I thought until I got the news.

My oldest son who is 29 shows up with my favorite wine. Then, my daughter who is 27 brings a basket full of makeup and my youngest who is 22 with a beautiful plant. They have been spoiling me like crazy. What more I can ask. My husband has planned to cook my favorite meal. My grandkids already have the music on. I think their dancing the

I turned fourteen today, it has been so many years since I have enjoyed my birthday. Mammy made me a cake, helped me dress in my new clothes. She seems like a new person now that the Union collapsed, she walks with a spring in a step and talked about the future. She speaks about how we can move to somewhere else, start a new life. I am very excited about what is to come. I am studying hard with Babi, mostly because I love doing it and makes me feel powerful and capable. Also so I can go to college one day, so if I get work hard enough I can get a scholarship. Tariq can come study with me, he would love it. He came home today, Tariq, and we spent the day talking and laughing. He gave me flowers and a pretty necklace with a sun and moon on it.

2. Today was the day that everyone gathered to celebrate. There was streamers and balloons everywhere. Everyone had a smile on their face and was ready to eat. A cake was brought out with all candles lit. Today was my birthday.

Oh my gosh! I had forgotten my own birthday! With being in a rush this morning and getting to school late, I guess it had slipped my mind. That’s why Sienna had asked me what day it was, she was trying to hint that she was planning something for me.

I woke up at noon, since birthdays were the only day we were allowed to wake up after 9 a.m. The good thing about birthdays is that we did not have to do any chores. I sat on the couch watching cartoons and enjoying the fact that nobody was bossing me around. When our birthdays rolled around, we never really asked for presents or a cake. All we asked for was no work that day because it was our one free day off. After my exhausting SpongeBob marathon, I got my brother to run me to my real mom's house so I could spend a hour with the loving and caring parent that I wished would be in my life more. After a little while, we had to go back before anyone would notice we were gone. It was around dinner time by the time we arrived back home. We had tacos bought from the local restaurant that evening, it was more than I ever could have asked for. After a good birthday dinner and about a hour of lazing around the house, we decided to play some football outside. We walked outside and I was hit with a wave of fresh cut grass and the smell of the sweet apples upon the trees. The sun beamed down as we picked teams for our intense game of football. We played for hours, endlessly tackling each other, stealing the ball, and running it across the yard for a touchdown. Towards the end of the game, the sun was dipping down in the sky. All of us were covered with sweat, dirt, and grass stains. The last play was nigh and score was tied, we

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.

Soon after that my sister and dad awoke, it was time to celebrate! I had my favourite breakfast, scrumptious waffles, with vibrant berries. The sweet wafts of syrup scented heat made my mouth water. Since we were going to celebrate my birthday in the evening, me and my sister decide to play some games to pass the time. We played Monopoly and Jenga! Our Monopoly game felt like it lasted for ages because the game could go on forever. She ended up winning, she had five hotels! Then we played Jenga. It took us some time to build the tower because I kept knocking it over by

My alarm clock screams at me, usually i’d be mad and want to cover my ears to go back to bed but today is different. Today is my sweet sixteen, I did not only get the best outfit ever and makeup from Too Faced, but I also got a dress,Eeahhh! I have never had such an expensive brand of anything in my entire life. As I get up to my feet I open my pink curtains to see almost dead trees and a dark sky. I look across my room to see my old wooden bed and my brother Drew's bed, and one of our dressers with my dress.

The first thing I need to do is order a medium pizza and some wings for my family, We are big fans of pizza and wings. My family said that they would get me a cake. I am excited to see what it looks like. They also said that they had a big surprise for me. I am really curious about what they got me but also nervous.
