Open terminal and it reads a line to me?

I know the settings were changed so that everytime I open my terminal it reads my name to me via the say command. Where is the file that it was saved in (so I can delete that line)?

It sounds like the say command has been added to one of your shell’s startup files. Try this command to search for the say command in all of them:

grep say ~/.bashrc ~/.bash_profile ~/.bash_login /etc/bashrc /etc/profile

If that doesn’t turn anything up, you can run sudo filebyproc.d to start a trace of all files being access on the filesystem, open a new terminal, and look for which files are read by the bash command. The filebyproc.d(1m) manpage has more info if you’re forced to go down this route.
