Humorous Wedding Speech: A Person Who Impacted My Life

Improved Essays
For public speaking class we were all given the assignment to write a speech about a person who has touched our lives in some way and try to say thank you. For me this person was a an easy choice because even though I have so many friends and family that I could have chosen I chose the one person who i remember has always been a positive role model in my life; Teresa Wells. I have so many reasons to thank her, that I couldn’t figure out which things to put into only five minutes.
Before I begin there are a few things you should know about Teresa, she is the mother to three amazing children, Aaron (16), Reilly(13), and Grace(10). She always has a smile on her face even if she doesn't feel like smiling. She has one of the most beautiful laughs eve, it's not pretty like some singing voices but it’s warm, happy, and it makes you smile no matter how you are feeling. She is a little taller than me with shoulder length blond hair, blue eyes and glasses. I know physical traits are not important but I want you all to be able to picture this amazing woman.

I have always considered her a part of my family. I can’t remember a time when she has treated me unkindly. I have always been able to talk to her about anything I need to.
She is this amazing woman that has taken me into her family. Amazing isn't a strong enough word for her. I can’t believe how much she has impacted my
