Positive Turn - Drake Elementary School



so the Positive TUrn GO overBoard book tour was recently held in Chicago where Justina and I cruized around to a bunch of down town schools, libraries, and then some schools outside of the city... and we challenged the kids to be Positive Change makers in this world that needs it. OUr speeches were directly influenced on being motivational and inspiring for these listening young adults. who seemed to be really into it. It was cool for me to share things with them that i thought would be up-lifting for their spirits and up- grading for their minds... to achieve this, i talked about all sorts of things.. from just plain believing in yourself, to being surrounded by positive role models, having good books to read, meditating, showing compassion, loving all people, reaching out to broken places, figuring out small actions that make a huge difference, and much more! Afterwards they seemed really amped up, and re-charged in a sort of way where their eyes glistened with a new approach to life, or at least, new ways to look at it. SO Chicago
was amazingly awesome, and full of many incredible experiences!
Justina and I will be doing Denver next, right after x-games and my 21st birthday ! yippeeee!
