I like this video because people around the world think that people cannot do things because they don't have a leg or they don't have a arm. Well this video tells it all. My favorite video is the basketball one because it is crazy how a kid can play against high schoolers and still beat them. People say that if you are tall you will be really good at basketball which is true but not always. Another one of my favorites are the gymnastics one because she was really good at gymnastics but she had to lose a leg of hers but she refused but the doctor said it is life or leg. Her coach has never taught a person without a leg so it would be his first time. Now it looks like she has done better without a leg and she is rocking it without a leg.

My favorite one was about the young gymnast who lost one of her legs, and had to continue with a prosthetic, because I know (by experience) that gymnastics is actually extremely hard, and I can't even imagine how hard it would be to do it with one leg, after such a big change since she had lots of training without her two normal legs and then she had to do it with a prosthetic. It is very inspirational how she was able to do what she loves, especially very well after going through such a big change.

My favorite story was the basketball story. A fifth grader like us not only made it onto the HIGH SCHOOL team but he is also their STARTING POINT GAURD. This is crazy. Unless, you live under a rock you should know that kids don't usually play basketball with people 4-7 YEARS OLDER than them. Julian is not only playing with them but he's BEATING THEM. To put this in context I sometimes struggle to beat people in our own grade, but Julian is beating people 7 years older and 2 feet taller than him. My second favorite story is the swimmer (James SAVAGE). He swam from San Francisco to Alcatraz Island and back. Not only did he accomplish this feat but he did it in record time. To put this in context I can barley swim a lap in your average pool, let alone swimming long distance in the bay in freezing cold water with extremely rough currents. Overall, EVERYONE mentioned in this video are incredible and have extreme perseverance, do you think Julian and James just woke up one day and had these skills? Of course not! They probably put in hours upon hours of training to get these skills and I respect that.

I like this video because it can help and inspire a lot of people. I like the basketball part where the kid is playing the high schoolers. This is crazy because normally people say that short people are really bad at basketball bu this video shows that it doesn't matter of the size you are, it matters how you play the sport. The most important part is that he was beating all of those people and he was feeling good about himself while playing. Another one of my favorites was the blind person who has to get over the stick. I think you have to bend the stick for you to get on top of the stick. The crazy part about this is that she is blind and she can see a white circle which tells her when she should go to get over the stick. I think the main idea for this whole video is that it doesn't matter who we are what, or what we are. It matters that we are good at it and show how we are good at the sport.

This shows that kids can do anything maybe even things that adults can’t do. By this video we’re not just spot lighted as little people it shows how kids are amazing.

I think this is so cool and proves you can do anything if you put your mind to it. This was my favorite but not the most inspirational was the basketball player because it is pretty cool that he is playing people 2 heads taller then him and seven years older and still crushing it and that proves if you practice and put your mind to it you can do it.

My favorite one was the one kid that got hit by the truck. I feel so bad for her. I can't imagine still being alive. It would take a lot courage to overcome these challenges. I really like how this person over came really hard things and Im motivated to never quit.

This is a very inspirational video because it tells us that we should prove everybody wrong and not let other people stop us from doing what we like. One of the videos I liked was the basketball one. It is crazy how a small kid is play against high schoolers who are much more taller than him and he is actually beating them. People say tall people could be really good at basketball but this video just shows that it is not true.

I really like this video because it shows that we should never quit even if we are disabled or we are just too lazy. I like the girl who was really good at gymnastics but she was refusing the doctor to take her leg off. She eventually lost her leg but she never quit gymnastics. She still continued and her coach helped her a lot.

I really liked the second one because it is literally someone our age playing with high school giants. They are 7 years older then him and he is still good compared to them. It was sad that he was under estimated at first but then he showed them who the boss was. I also liked the second one because it showed how you can still do what you want to do with a prosthetic leg. Then it was really inspiring when she took it off and she said she did it to show who she really was.

My favorite of the people was the basketball player. It is so cool how he is playing high school basketball in Elementary. To him they are giants. But, he is crushing them. They are probably also jealous. I showed my sister this video, and she was like, "Their not even covering him." She is definitely jealous. I think that this video is about not giving up on your dreams. Not even when things get hard. And they do. You have to have perseverance and grit. Only then can you get something you want. Try, try and try again.
