Leap, Fly, and Learn

[JesseK]

Now may be the time to make a fool of yourself, but your future shouldn't find you lacking the willingness to make the same leaps you made today. It cannot end with graduation of high school or college, or this post, else these become mere inspirational ramblings.

The leap of simply saying these inspirational words in front of everyone at the Championship event should be something you're not afraid of -- it is the first step for taking these words and inspirations putting them to execution.

Your words and thoughts flow very nicely, so don't worry about your diction or grammar just yet. That's what editors and interns are for

Like the rest that have posted, i'd like to say WOW!

This post really encourages me because most of those things I have begun to have to deal with as a freshman in high school and in FIRST. You give inspiration to me and I think a lot of others throughout the FIRST community. Thanks for reminding me of what this is all about!

Your point is well taken. I better start writing for THAT speech now. Hopefully, I will be done in 2 years .

Tell you what. I promise I won't be afraid of speaking in front of my students, and when the time comes, I won't be afraid of speaking in front of the Bay Area teams when it's Cal Games again. I won't be afraid of testing my ideas and practicing my pen, and when the time comes when I have something worthy to say to every single FIRST student, parents, mentors, and volunteers at the Championship Event, I won't be afraid to step forward.

Baby steps. That's the key to it. Baby steps.

Isn't this how we all learn to fly?



Peace Ken, and keep on inspiring us with your writings.

I really don't like to write "me too" posts, but I have to do it on this one. This is truly one of the best posts I've ever read, and it should be mandatory reading for every high school student. You're going to achieve greatness, Ken.
