Last week in my Personal Growth 140 class, a guest speaker was invited. This guest speaker wasn't like all the others. He was more down to earth, realistic and expressed himself humorously and straight forward. His name is Scott Silverman, he is a coach, speaker, and author. He is a very gifted man, because he has a lot of will power. Scott has helped a lot of underprivileged people find jobs and often housing. He counsels people based off of his own experience. Scott's background is not one from the white picket fence. Therefore he can relate to peoples problems, because he often knows what it's like. He is very brave and believes in self improvement. He has challenged a lot of people to look a little further beyond their goals.
What I like about Scott is how dedicated he is to issues that people decide to turn a blind eye on. He has helped ex convicts and fed the homeless folks. His famous saying is, "If you can fog a mirror, I can help you find a job." His positive outlook is amazing. He is truly an inspiration. I lack the positive outlook in my life. Looking for better opportunities in life is difficult for me. I don't take initiative to look around. I can definetely see myself benefiting from Scott's advice.
I remember blogging earlier this semester about Kid Presidents speech. Kid President believes adults are boring. Scott Silverman is not boring at all. He uses profanity to express his speeches and humor his audience. Plus he is constantly making changes in many lives. He is a very good example of what Kid President would want us younger people to do. Scott Silverman didn't start out with many resources. He worked best with what he had. He had envisioned change and opportunity for the helpless that needed guidance. I look forward to reading more about Scott Silverman.
