Ihad a young man ask me if being a motivational speaker was a good goal to have.

I told him absolutely . If he had a good cause/message and did it the right way he could be great at it.

I am going to get some info for him.

He was very impressed that those children, especially Naomi that he wants to be a part of it.

3. These teenagers have inspired people! That's big time stuff. Historic.

Emma is my new hero.

4. If they can keep the attention on them,

They will continue to inspire a generation. I’m not sure they fully grasp the monumental change they can inspire. If they continue to organize as they move on to college, collaborate with other progressive groups, they could be a force to be reckoned with, not just gun regulations, but other social issue as well.
