Pep Talk

Kid President thinks that we all need a pep talk, and I agree.

He wants everyone in the world to do something to make some else feels awesome.  He wants everyone to feel awesome.  So do I.

He thinks is would be awesome if everyone could do a dance.  Man, I agree.  If only I could dance like him.

Why does it take a kid--and not just a kid, but one who actually calls himself kid--to say it like it is?  Why does it take a kid fill my soul, to recharge me, the way Kid President did?  I don't know, but that's why I love my job;  I get to work with awesome people like him every day.

People, some not much higher than my waist, who say and do things with such conviction.

Who aren't jaded with "adult" experiences.

Who believe that you can do anything that you set your mind to.

Who don't give up.

Who taste and savour their experiences with passion and excitement.

Who eat life with such big bites.

Who believe that they can change the world.

My life is awesome because I get to be inspired every day.

So, I am going to help Kid President spread his message, starting with the people who will do the most with it.  Tomorrow, when I teach my reading group, we are going to start with this video...

...and then we are going to dance.

My heart is beating and that means that it is time to do something, so I am going to take the path that leads to awesome.  Lets create something that will make the world awesome!

Please, share this video.
