A
few weeks ago
in my speech class
we were assigned to write an informative speech. Everyone in my class
wrote about an experience they have had, I went beyond that and I wrote
mine on an experience that I dream to have... Below I have typed my
informative speech that I presented to my class. Enjoy!I bet you all think I am going to
stand up here ad give a boring speech on the looks and
accomplishments that Joe
Mauer has made. If that is what you all think, you’re wrong. Girls
picture this, you’re from
Minnesota
love of your life running the
bases on your home turf. Listen up and you will hear how this
could possibly
happen. This speech is about the great life of Joe and Mika Mauer. I
will tell
you about the game we met at, moving to
It all started on a hot summer day
I woke up excited to spend the whole day going to the
Twins game with my
boyfriend Jordan Sturges. Little did I know I was going to loose my
love for
of my favorite player Joe Mauer.
We finally arrived to the game, we
parked and went in. As we were trying to find our seats
we saw a sign up sheet
that read, “Sign up for your chance to run the bases before the game.”
Jordan
and I just laughed and put my name in the box ten times because we
figured my
name
would never get drawn. We walked on, bought two hot dogs and two sodas.
After, we went
and found our seats. We ate and talked waiting for the game to
start, then it was they announced
may I have the following people
please meet
down by the Twins dug out. Jordan and I just
talked and laughed about how
embarrassing it would be if they drew my name. Then it was
they said my name,
it was bad enough they drew my name but even worse was they did not
pronounce it right. They announced, “The last name drawn is, Meeka
Welling, Meeka
please
come down to the dug out please.”I wanted to die; I started shaking
because I
was so nervous.
As
I walked into the dug out I
noticed it was me and six little kids. They briefly explained
what wasgoing
on. I guess Jordan and I didn’t read the little print below the sign-up
sheet.
This
was a chance for kids between three and eight to run the bases while
holding one of the
Minnesota Twins players hand. They had me matched up with
Joe Mauer. For a moment I thought
this was the greatest thing that
could have
ever happen to me. Joe walked over and said,
“You must me Meeka and you’re
really big for an eight year old.” I looked into his gorgeous
brown eyes and
said, “Call me Mika I am eighteen, we had a misunderstanding when
signing up.
”
I was in heaven then reality struck I was about to go out to with a
bunch of
little kids and
make a fool out of myself. I was right I did make a fool of
myself. As Joe and I were running
my foot slipped in front of Joe’s, we tripped
into home plate. We fell and became all tangled
into each other. I
landed under
him he was laying over me and looked into my eyes. Then it
was Joe made the
move he started making out with me.
Joe was kicked out of the
game for
the act he did with a fan. All that he had to say to
the person that kicked him
out was, “I am sorry there is just something about this girl.”
left me
at the game because he was mad at me. Joe offered to take me home
saying that
it
was the least he could do. Of course I could not let this offer go. So
there
it was Joe gave me
a ride home in my dream car, an Escalade Cadillac. We got to
know each other a bit more on
the two hour drive to Rockwell. We arrived at my
house, and I asked Joe to come in and he did.
We sat and watched the
rest of
the Twins game on television. Of course they lost without Joe
catching. After
the game Joe took me out to eat and to a movie. We had a great time
together.
Unfortunately Joe had to go back to
next week Joe called me every night
and we would talk for hours. He would tell
me how much he liked me and wanted
to see me.
That next
weekend Joe invited me to visit for a week. He knew I wanted to
be a
cosmetologist so he took me to see the cosmetology schools in
He told me I could love with
him
while I was going to school. I knew this was a great
opportunity.
I graduated
and Joe purposed to me at my reception, of course I said yes.
We had a big beautiful wedding and went
on our honeymoon to
Joe and I have always wanted to go there together. It was no later than
a year
when
I found out that I was pregnant with out first baby, Kaden Joseph. Joe
also bought a new
vehicle and gave me my dream car, his escalade. Before we
knew it we had three car seats in it.
I had a great job in
the Twins. Kaden and I and eventually the other children
never missed a game. We
were a great family with a great life. We were always
busy doing something with our kids, making sure they had the best
childhood
they could. Children are required to be four to be on a t-ball team and
Joe did
everything he could so Kaden could play when he was three, they
practiced every
minute they could. Joe is a great dad, and we have so much fun when we
are
together.
Yeah, your all sitting in your desk
laughing to yourselves thinking she is crazy is she thinks she has a chance
with him. I know it is hard to imagine. Just wait and you
will see when I show
up to our five year class reunion in a stretch hummer limo with the
love of my
life Joe Mauer.
