Green Jacket Acceptance Speech I stand here today to talk about a simple green sport coat. It is a one of a kind and nothing can be compared to it.
This morning I awoke to the view of the morning fog and the christening dew that sits upon the early morning grass. The sound of sprinklers whistling water through the air reminds me that it is almost time for the indescribable battle that is about to take place at the greatest stage on earth. My caddie awoke just after to begin preparing for the great battle that was about to take place throughout each of the four rounds held at the sacred grounds of Augusta National golf club, I had to play each hole as if it were a blank canvas.

    First off, I'd like to say it's an honor for me to be around such great football players from the past and present. Knowing that I am now part of college football history is something that is hard to put into words. This has always been a dream of mine to join the Heisman fraternity, whose names include Roger Staubach, Archie Griffin, Earl Campbell, Marcus Allen, Barry Sanders...the list goes on and on. It truly is an honor to be accepted with open arms from all these past greats. I'd like to thank the Heisman Committe as I accept this award on behalf of my teammates. I hope you guys have a sense of accomplishment, because this is just as much you as it is me. This is an award I couldn't have received with out you guys.

Thank you for giving me a chance to play for you and teaching me not only about football, but life experiences as well. I'd like to thank my high school coaches as well. Thank you for installing discipline in me and a toughness to keep going and never give up. I'd also like to thank my family. I don't know where I would be or what I would do in life without you guys. You've guided me the right direction throughout my life through the good and the bad. You have raised me to be the man I am today. My dad, who taught me about work ethic everyday growing up. My mom, who installed in me so many great characteristics such as confidence, leadership, and discipline. My two brothers, Steve, and Joe, you guys are great role models who I look up to.

    By the fifth hole, anger continued to steadily flow throughout my body, not giving a hoot about my round at this point, only caring about the event htat had previously took place. My father quietly pulled me aside, and pronounced, "How do you think your playing right now?" "Who care's, the tournaments over." "That's just not true, Anthony." "I brought you out here today so you could have fun and experience your first competition, I don't care if you end up with one-thousand strokes. All I care about is if you have fun and leave all of your effort on the golf course." "I see." "Okay, now come on, let's play some golf and have fun." After making my first par on hole six. I continued to stay level headed even if I did end up making a triple bogey on seven."…

    The first essay that I had read was a speech written by Sojourner Truth about women rights. Her intention of writing this was to tell others and encourage them that women can do all things that men can do. She has done everything that a man has done so what makes her less of a person? She was trying to accomplish everyone to be on her side and encourage them to stand with her. This speech was written 1851 at the Women’s Rights Convention in Akron Ohio. This speech was very powerful to rebuke many antifeminists. The second essay I read Abraham Lincoln’s Presidential Acceptance speech. This speech was very important because it gave America great hope for the future because he wanted to abolish slavery. He said this speech in front of all of America…

    Family, Friends, Fellow peers. I would like to welcome you all to the 2017 Holmes Jr High eighth grade graduation.

    (Significance and background) Everybody in this class room has had or will have children. Anyway it will happen that your kids will become the most important point of your life. You will do everything to keep them happy. When they are small only you can influence on their behavior. Parents always want to see their kids healthy, well-bread and happy. After some time, when your heirs grow up enough, they will go to school. As soon as this happens you lose part of your influence on their upbringing. The school grabs this part from you. Students usually spend 1/3 of their day time there. This new society will build up their way of thinking and way of behavior. A lot depends on new friends, teachers, and studying, of course. The atmosphere inside the school building is important, too. There should be a spirit of studying, co-working, and pride. And one of the most important points to reach these is wearing school uniform. I positive that students in school should wear it. In my country all schools have special uniforms for elementary school level, and high school students wear business suits with ties. High school is the first chance for students to feel that they are a part of business society. Americans are very free in their choices. On the one hand this is good, but on the other…kids begin think that they can do whatever they want to, and, unfortunately, sometimes they do not have discipline and do not show respect to their parents at all… I think this happens because they begin to feel themselves free too early. And sometimes accidents happen……
