In this high school valedictorian speech, Rashema Melson thanks the teachers, coaches, and mentors who made a positive impact on her life.
Melson shares details about how these people supported her; for example,
she describes her tracking coach as "someone who I could come to for
whatever and whenever-no matter the time of day—and when I needed an
ear for my problems and advice as well.” Think of someone who has
provided guidance and support your life. Write a letter thanking that
person and describing his or her impact on your life. Be sure to include
specific details that explain how this person's support and guidance have
helped you, just as Rashema Melson does when thanking her track coach.
