AY YOO!! my name is sara & i can give some pretty sweet advice =]. i guess i'm supposed to talk about me here .. soo yeah here ya gooo =]

my room's always messy & i hate capitalizing my i's. I'm a picky eater but i eat lots of food (mainly junkfood =D). i am very unorganized and i usually forget my homework, but i'm working on it. i don't like concentrating because i'm not good at it. i'm obviously not perfect, but then again who in their right mind would say so. i like using big words, and yes i do know what they mean. i'm a pretty good speller and i like acting literate when i'm actually not at all. i don't bother with people who don't like me. if you have anything against me, i'm simply not going to waste my time trying to get you to favor me.. in my opinion, its your loss. i type really fast and i use the backspace button alot even though i don't like to. i wish my eyes weren't blue, but i would never get colored contacts. i eat too many famous amos cookies and i love kettlecorn .. mmmm =] i know that i do not have all the answers to life, but i will try my best to help you people out. i'm pretty good at giving advice on friendship related things, because i think i'm pretty good at being a friend; considering i have no enemies. i'm not so good on school work related questions, but ask me them anyway & i'll give you a website where you can try to find what you're looking for =) i hate writing english papers because i suck immensely at organizing my thoughts. i am very gullable & easily influenced. i judge people way too much even though i'm not that confident. i need to stop that. actually, there's several things i need to change about myself, but you're not perfect either. i talk alot and sometimes i mumble because, i don't know why but i just do. i think i do it when i get nervous and i talk real quiet and it's annoying and i hate it. i also talk fast which is another thing i need to stop. i always have something to say, and i won't hesitate to say it. alright i'm done, bye.

HELP!
I've had 5 relatives die on me the last week.
And I've given speeches on 4 of their funerals so far, and they've all been..awful.
Tomorrow I'm giving a speech on my grandmother, so please help! What can I say? I really have no personal memories of her!! But I have to do this - I promised!! please please help me.
Any nice heartwarming speeches you've heard of that I can use as inspiration ?? or any special websites for these kind of things?? thaank you!

well i don't want to flat out give you a speech, but i can certainly give you a small example one with some ideas and points you should definitely cover.

On *INSERT DATE OF HER BIRTH HERE* my grandmother was born in *WHERE SHE WAS BORN*. She lived a happy life, married *HUSBANDS NAME IF SHE HAD ONE*, and had *NUMBER OF CHILDREN IF ANY*. Unfortunately, my grandmother was taken from us on *DATE OF DEATH*. (Here you can say something about how she died) I know everyone will miss her a great deal, but we will see her again one day. (only say that second part if your family's religious like that or whatever) One of the few positive things I have to say is that at least now, we won't have to anticipate her death, and she's in a better place. To my misfortune, I don't have many memories with my grandma. But her death has taught me that I should make time with all my family, because they could be gone in the blink of an eye. I found a quote on the internet that seemed appropriate for this day: "It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth -- and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, we will then begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had." - Elisabeth Kubler-Ross (expert on death and dying) (then write what that quote means to you and how it relates to the situation.) I know that for many of you, it will be hard to get over the fact that *Insert grandma's First Middle and Last name here* isn't here anymore, but she would want us to continue on with our lives, and stay happy and remember her at her best, instead of grieving. Thank you.

***try not to use the exact words, but something close would probably be good. Also;; do some family research of what she was like and incorporate what your family tells you into your speech, and you shoudl be set ♥

ps. sorry for your losses =/ best of luck to you & your family!! ♥
