Inspiration in Many Forms

Earlier this week I saw a video. It is called the “Don’t Quit Poem” and it was a video that completely changed my outlook on my decisions. So I decided to do my PLN response on it and share how it changed my life. The author of this poem is actually unknown. But anyway when I saw this video it really just made me think about all the times in my life that I started something and then just left it and never took it back up. A lot of times I have given up in Parkour but that is a different story. But anyway not only did this make me think about the times I’ve given up but also everything I haven’t given up in, everything I have and for how thankful I am to have all of it. This video inspired me to not give up anymore until absolutely necessary which won’t happen much. If I can stick by this then life will be harder at times but the overall outcome will be amazing. I may have given up on many things but I have made it threw more. Now that I have talked about how this made me think, the question is; how would this affect kids and students if you were to show this video in schools? This question really makes me think because I know it would affect some people but there are also a lot of kids who think that they are to cool, don’t need to try any harder and even some kids who have already given up in lots of things and even life. These are the kids that I think need to see this video.
Also as long as I am on the subject, there is another video I have seen and I’m going to go into religious stuff here but the video is a skit about Jesus helping you threw everything no matter how hard it gets. I saw the skit in person and I was speechless after it. It made me think more than I ever had before. The skit involves the song “Everything” by Lifehouse. I personally think that everyone needs to see this video especially those kids that say they have given up in life and that kind of thing. It helped me and I know that it will help them weather it makes them think a little or a lot. . Both the videos I have talked about so far might not make people think the way I did but it will make them think and start discussions. The video about Jesus wouldn’t be allowed in school though so kids would have to see it somewhere else. The point I have been trying to get throughout this response is that little things can inspire us everyday weather a little video or skit or something like meeting your hero. We all have choices in life and some choose to give up on them and others keep going till there is nothing left or till they have accomplished whatever necessary.
