Public Speaking Speech of Praise
Name: Fanny Fellevik
Title: “My Beloved Grandmother”
Thesis Statement: My grandmother is the person I always will look up to.
INTRODUCTION:
Have you ever had that one person in your life that is your connecting puzzle piece? That one person that you can always rely on no matter what? I would like to share with you all today the memory of my own grandmother, the one person that was that to me.
BODY:
1)
A) Tuja Blomqvist, born in Finland and evacuated to Sweden during the world war II,
It was a critical time for Tujas family (dad dies, take care of brother), she had a though upbringing.
The one situation made her to become the most strong and independent woman I’ve ever known
B) Grandmother meets my grandfather when she was 17, lived happy together the whole way until my grandmothers death torn them apart.
C) Big family but always had time for everyone. If you ever needed anything she would be the first one to help you out.
SIGNPOST- And here is where I get in the picture
2)
A) Mum and dad worked a lot, spend the summers at grandmothers house
B) I always smile: small woman, high heels everywhere
SIGNPOST- I can also picturing her
3)
A) curly brown hair, flying in the wind, cigarette in her mouth
B) Big family parties with her famous Swedish meatballs
C) She was my families connecting puzzle piece, that glue that kept us all together
CONCLUSION
Tuja truly was an incredible woman that cared for others more than for herself. The most affectionate and loving sister, mother, grandmother and wife. She died way to young and I still miss her everyday even though it has been over 10 years.
I miss her singing the finish waltz, to see her walking around in the garden in her high heels, and the smell of her freshly made Swedish meatballs. Even though she is not here anymore she is always going to be in my heart, and she is always going to be the woman I think of when I need to be strong. And everyday I still carry the necklace she gave me before
