  1. I was very surprised to see that he did not have any arms or legs, really. His stories are very funny I thought. I think it would be fun to mess with people like he did. I like that he helps teach values and responsibilities. I think he is just another great example of if you can do anything if you put your mind to it. He was born without any arms or legs and he is now an author, he can walk, paint, swim, all kinds of things. I also think he is a good example of a selfless person. He cares about others more than he does himself and would rather help others than help himself. I think there should be more people like him in the world. I also like when he says that he would rather be a poor man and hurt no one, than be a rich man and hurt one man.

  2. HE teaches the responsibilities and values of things. also he shows that you can do whatever you want if you try. I would say he is a good person to look up to becasue he has been threw the worse things being born with things that most other people have. He is a good author he can do many things without having arms and legs. SO he is someone that all people should look up to.

  3. I loved everything about this video and everything he had to say. When he was talking about Family, and how it is everything, he really put it my whole life into a different perspective. I realize now that maybe I need to really put my priorities in order. Like he said, people I should have in my life aren't going to put me down, and if I'm someone worth having around I wouldn't put others down, which is something I also need to work on. I also liked when he was talking about how he rather have no money but never hurt anyone rather than having a lot of money and hurting that one person. Not a whole lot of people would say that. Another section I liked was when he said girls aren't defined by having a boyfriend. His whole message was all very good.
