My 21st Speech

I didn’t do a 21st speech.
Life was such at the time that a party was not an option.
But I lived in my head so much that I practiced in the shower, all the time.
So much so I remember it word for word until this day.
I hope you like it

21 years and I want to thank you.

I want to thank my parents who have sacrificed their life 7 days a week in a shop so I could have the opportunities that they never had.
For giving me everything and more.
And most importantly trusting me more than I ever trusted myself.
Thank you and I love you.

I want to thank my eldest brother for showing what was possible.

I want to thank my second eldest for showing me what hard work can do.

And my youngest for showing that I am not perfect and can always do better.

My cousins, allot of people talk about putting family first or having a close family and I hope they do. Cause if they have cousins like mine they know what it means to be there for one another.

I want to thank my friends from school for putting me on their shoulders and giving the confidence to believe in myself.
Without them I wouldn’t of made it out.

I want to thank the friends from Uni for helping me grow and showing me things I never knew of, heard of or even convinced of. Again if it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t of made it out.

All of you I truly love

21 years in and I hope I can be with you for 21 years more
