February Challenge: Day 17

Today we had a 45 minute assembly at my school for a speaker to come and talk to us.  His name is Mike Smith and he is extremely inspiring!  He told us his life story, and explained to us how he changed his whole life around!  He's this laid back kind of guy with a passion for skateboarding who has made an amazing difference in the world with his "Skate for Change" program, which has  helped hundreds of homeless people all across America!  He definitely made my day today.  His story of change, which is kind of hard to explain and you could probably find it online, sorry, has inspired me to try and make a change in the world somehow!  I'm not really sure how yet, but when I figure it out I will definitely post about it!  I'll end this post with  a quote Mike Smith said to us, "Speak for the silent and stand for the broken."  We should all try to be brave enough to stand up for anyone who needs it, and not be afraid of what others think, myself included.  If we could do this, the world would be a happier place.  ~Sky
