Introduction
Wherever you are, it is the
place to start. The effort you expend
today does make a difference.
—Andrew Matthews
Our final lesson encompasses
honoring a person or honoring an event. I would
recommend that you become familiar with special
occasion speeches so that when the opportunity
arises, you will be ready to present. Having
spoken at both my mother and father’s funerals,
I feel that my tributes made a difference to
the audience because they personalized my
parent’s lives. I am looking forward to hearing
your special occasion speech at the end of this
lesson.
