I bring the energy, and the short bursts of quick information can be really useful in class.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut, most importantly, I think that it\u2019s great for me to show, or it\u2019s a great way for me to inspire people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe message that I\u2019d like to share with the kids is that I was much like them once upon a time. Just a boy with a dream.
