Watch the video in YouTube entitled, “How a 13-year-old changed ‘Impossible’ to ‘I’m Possible’ and write your thoughts and reflection about the video (30pts) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bC0hlK7WGcM&t=162s I really like watching speeches on YouTube, yes that’s true, also I am good at writing speech in a certain topic. When I am a grade 11 student at my school, we created our own motivational speech, and I created mine with a title “One Peso Coin”. After that the comments of my teachers were the one that really pushed me to continue on writing speeches. So turning impossible into I’m possible, what a great title for a motivational speech that really gave me goose bumps. The way he created connection among his audience was a great way for a child like him. Also starting from speaking the longest English words in the English dictionary really caught my attention. But to be honest, I only know two of them which were the first and second longest words. The message of his speech really got into my bones, it was like he was making me feel the situation he was in. all the things he said is true starting from the first step that KNOW YOUR PASSION, we will never know our purpose in living if don’t know our passion, it is like what can I contribute in the society. Then the next step that I really like was HELPING OTHERS, it is like that we didn’t only lived for ourselves but also we lived for others. The last one was the DREAM BIG. This was what I am doing right now. As a member of the society, we must be responsible for others, we must love them like the way we love ourselves. Also I am a fan of hip-hop music, and it was incredible when he combine the genre of Indian music with American music, which was I loved the result. I’m not afraid.
