Speeches / The three lessons that shaped me the way I am today - hard work, education, and respect [2]
This is what I wrote for my speech. My grammar and speech are very poor and I'm trying to improve. Could you five me some feedback and edit this to make it sound better? :D Thanks so much
20 years ago a very intelligent and hardworking man traveled to an unknown land in search of a better life. He started with nothing to opening a restraint, starting a family and buying a house. That man was my dad. My name is Ricky. Today I'm going to tell you how my dad has helped shaped me the way I am today by teaching me hard work, education, and respect.
The first lesson my dad taught me was the value of hard work. My grandparents were poor, they had no money and lived in a small village. Every day my dad would wake up early and help my grandparents with farm work. When my dad was 20 years old, he moved to the United States in search of a better life. My dad had little to no money and didn't know English. When he arrived in the United States, he found a job at a Chinese Restaurant. He would work 12 hours a day and 7 days a week. After work, he would teach him English every day. Eventually, he saved enough and opened a restaurant and started a family. Ever since I was a kid my dad would always tell me to always work hard.
The next lesson my dad taught me was the importance of education. My dad never attended high school as a child because my grandparents were poor. My dad is a very smart man, everyone in my family goes to him for help. But my dad is always teaching himself new knowledge and skills. He taught himself English and learned how to open a restaurant. My dad said to me that "Education will help me become successful". That encourages me to work hard in school, so I can find a good job to support a family and have a happy life.
Last thing my dad taught me was respect. In Chinese culture, respect is very important, especially to elders. My dad is respectful to everyone, because he wants to be respected. My dad once said to me "You have to respect others if you want to be respected." Since I was young, I learned to respect everyone, especially adults like teachers and family members.
In conclusion, the three lessons that shaped me the way I am today taught me was hard work, education, and respect.
