"I could identify with a person having problems and how we all share a common ground when it comes to our unhappy experiences. That is not to be over looked by the fact that all of us at some point or another have to experience some form of disappointment that can appear in many ways that are not always clear to us. What I mean is that you should never forget to look for the lessons that can be learned from ‘what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger’. This is basically saying you shouldn’t feel sorry for yourself when disappointment turns your way but instead should be the better for it. This life won’t last forever so if you let yourself truly live you will never die for your memory makes you what you are once you’re gone so do something worth remembering." - By Ray

"I really liked the motivational speakers. At first I didn’t want to listen to them, but they really did motivate me. They really showed just how powerful the human will to succeed can be. They talked about how through determination; they were able to complete the marathons that they were in. The story about the determination of the boy in a wheelchair to finish the race while standing was particularly inspiring. I hope they can come again some time." - by William
