He goes around to spread his life story. “Raised in Flint, Michigan, by parents who saw in his condition not a disability but an extraordinary opportunity.”( Imperfect: An Improbable Life) He tells all children out there with disabilities that they can do whatever they put their mind too… just like he did. Now if that wouldnt inspire someone to get up and fight, who knows what would. This truly is an unbelievable man with a heart to inspire others, just as big as his thirst to acquire…
One story that really hit home with me was Charlie. Being born with no legs and arms, Charlie showed great adaptation and intelligence and had such a go-getter attitude. He attends school with the help of a special wheelchair, and aside from his obvious disability, was very well accepted by everyone who got to know him. Charlie inspired me tremendously. His Mom and Dad are also very admirable in how they chose to let Charlie live a great…
In addition to the major themes of the book, another theme would be the power of words. This greatly impacts Frank when he gives his first speech. He did not consider it successful because the kids were not listening, they were critiquing him, and they did not care about what he had to say. Nevertheless, he received letters from the students thanking him for coming and demonstrating their appreciation for the speech. Frank did not believe they were truly expressing the gratitude he thought they were saying, rather he thought it was just an assignment the teacher had them do. This impression remained unaffected until he saw a letter that read, “I bet you had a long, boring ride back to Philly” (Meeink, 2010 p.248) At that moment he realized…
Justina ford inspired me and an insane amount of others related to an African American woman to follow her dreams of being a doctor or whatever they dream of accomplishing. Also, she taught me to try even if there are obstacles trying to stop you . I am not African American or a woman so it would be easier for a man to work up to this kind of job, but this shows that women around the world are trying their hardest to accomplish an accomplishment no one else could think of achieving and to me that is extraordinarily inspiring. Also, she was the first African American woman to become a doctor and that shows me that if one woman can accomplish that then I would enjoy hearing more of what other women in this kind of situation can achieve in order…
I could never imagine a still segregated world. “I say to you today my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream.” Martin Luther King Jr. inspired me to stand up to what I believe in. He believes that everyone should be equal. He believes that although back then people were not equal and people were segregated that one day everything will be fine.…
Many people have had one person who has inspired them. They have changed their life very much the first day that they met. The person who has changed my life in the past couple years was my softball coach. She had us all work as hard as we could everyday. If we didn’t put in our best effort for a drill, she would have us start over and do it again. Coach Tash was motivated, committed, and helpful to everyone on the team.…

Events like this is what pushed people to do more with their lives and stand for what they believe in. Dale Chihuly is handicap and wears an eye patch, however it does not let that stop him from doing what he loves. That is why his school of glass encourages people to use their handicaps as an advantage and to chase their dreams. This is significant because America is one of the few places where we allow for handicap people to excel so much. Many countries and cultures push people like Dale aside without a chance. This is why Dale is such a big role model to me.…
I had the opportunity to read it in the seventh grade and his story still motivates me today. Ben Carson came from poor and uneducated family, but he was able to overcome all of the stereotypes thrown his way and find success. His faith, passion, and work ethic saved and changed many lives.…
Ninety percent of climbers that attempt to summit Mount Everest do not succeed, several die each year. Erik Weihenmayer is in the ten percent who have reached the summit yet he was the only one in the world that did so without sight. In 2011 he competed in a reality show called Expedition Impossible and his group of three placed second overall. That showed many viewers that blind people are capable of doing what some sighted and many people cannot do. I believe he is a unique individual not only because he is blind and has overcome many physical challenges, but because there are not many people that have that kind of drive, toughness and the ability to inspire others while maintaining a sense of humility.…
With my ears plugged, my eyes were suddenly opened to see the difficulty of daily life for deaf/ hard of hearing people. On April 10th, 2014, I became hard of hearing for an entire day, and I truly believe it provided me with an accurate insight into the deaf culture. Although my experience was a single day, I saw my friends, family, and teachers change right it front of my face as if I changed into a “deaf, dumb, and blind” idiot. I will always remember this experience for the rest of my life.…
