I Believe Reflection and Speech

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1fOcPPSAEQ


I wrote this speech based on my family. In the speech I wrote that my family meant everything to me, and how the formed and shaped me to be the person that I am today. In the speech I wrote about my mom, and my two brothers that inspired me the most.

In my speech I mentioned my mom because my mom was the one who raised me. She's the one who was able to play the mom and the dad figure with no problem. She raised eight kids, mainly by herself with the help of my dad's side of the family before he passed away. My mom had a huge impact on my life because she's the one who consequence me when I did something wrong, but when I did something bad, she made me feel like the best person in the world. Also, she put her family before anything, if someone needed help she would be right there no matter where it was. The best thing about my mom is that she always forgave me for what I did no matter how bad it was, she never stopped loving me.

My two brothers who inspired me the most is three years older than me and six years older than me. My brother Kyren plays college football in Texas. I look up to him because I plan on doing the same thing he's doing but at a lower level in college athletics. He always tells me how coaches are, what they do, and how they "work" because every college coach is different. Playing football he has plenty of coaches and each one of them are different. One might be your best friend and the other might hate you or vise versa. He says no matter how rough they are or how they act to you, your hard work and your attitude is all that matters.

My oldest brother Daniel has a family now, but before this he always told me to respect my body and other people around me, but mainly my body. He says that as a pretty young black female, everyone wants you and thinks your "easy" because of the past movements with blacks, but all I gotta do is prove them wrong so that people start changing their mind and seeing blacks as just normal people. Some girls don't do that, but as a young black girl I can do that and it will hopefully change in the years to come.

At the end of the video I state a quote from the bible that means my family is everything. You should always put your family first and before anyone because they are the strongest bond you will ever have until you get married.
