100th Birthday Speech
100th Birthday Speech
Thank you all for being here to celebrate the 100 amazing years of Laura’s life. I think I speak for everyone here when I say that Laura is someone we truly admire. When she was younger, she took it into her own matters to be an amazing friend and role model to all her siblings. She taught her sister, and brother’s how to ties their shoes, and even helped them learn how to ride a bike without training wheels. Her competitive spirit allowed her to show leadership qualities in various ways. From being one of the two sophomores to make the Varsity Field Hockey team in high school, and eventually becoming Captain her senior year, to paving her way through college at Quinnipiac University for her younger sister to follow in her path. She graduated with honors and got the job she had worked so hard for right away. Laura worked hard as a friendly, determined sales rep at one of the top Pharmaceutical firms in Boston. Never wanting to travel too far from home, she worked and lived in Boston where she eventually met her loving husband. Together, they excelled at their careers, and eventually were able to move to a small suburb town outside of Boston. There, they raised their three beautiful children. Laura decided to quit her job so she could fully dedicate her time to be the best mother she could. Whenever I needed a ride, or accidentally forgot my math textbook at home she dropped whatever she was doing to bring it to me. She never missed a sports game, or a dance recital; She helped my brothers and I through my entire college process, and most importantly, always listened to whatever friend or boy drama I was going through at the time. Laura has the most amazing attributes to her. She has never stopped giving. Even when she quit her job she joined two organizations at our public high school that work to raise money for teachers to buy textbooks and have guest speakers present. She eventually became President of that organization, and still
