i hope my words are strange and wondrous,

like kisses that quiet all things superfluous,

so that we can all stop and

listen

if you don't know who he is,

look him up.

he's a phenomenal speaker.

i think that's my new favorite word: phenomenal

and he has truly inspired me to press harder for my goals,

of becoming a teacher

and working with children from everywhere.

in the only way i know how,

with passion.

i think his strength lies in that he believes that everybody can do it.

that no one lies beyond help,

no one is a lost cause.

and that mentality is honestly,

the only way to improve anything in this world.

its having faith in the limitless boundaries

of the human mind.

i hope honestly that i'll live up to my own expectations someday.

that i'll be able to accomplish all that i desire

and more.

if by living

i can change the direction of another for the better..

if i can bring something for them to look forward to,

something to hope for,

to aspire to..

if i can light up a candle in their life.

it will all be worth it.
