We Day Reflection

I think we day was a great experience with lots of inspiring speeches. But Hannah Taylor’s speech really got to me. She said when she was only six years old she saw a man eating out of a dumpster and thought to herself she needed to make change. As Hannah Taylor grew older she met a homeless man and he said don’t be afraid of homeless people be afraid of a country like this that still has homelessness. And I shared that thought with my family, and my mom and dad know that there are still homeless people today and how sad the thought of it is. But anything is possible and anyone in the world can make a change! You have to set a goal, chase your dreams and never give up, said Rick Hansen. The reason Rick Hansen said that, was because when he was only 15 years old he was in a severe car accident and shattered his spine. He was then told he would never be able to walk again. And his goal for his 16th birthday was to be able to sit up again, and when he could he was put in a wheelchair. Rick Hansen wanted to inspire people, so he attempted to make it around the world in a wheel chair. He did not complete his journey, but he did compete in the Olympics and won a metal. And that is why Rick Hansen said to never give up your dreams.
