Everyone Needs Pep Talks

          So I am a sucker for adorable children. Something about kids just makes my me happy and brings a smile to my face, it is why I work with them in the at a summer camp and hope to work in pediatrics one day. The past few days a youtube video has been popping up on my Newsfeed, which you may or may not have seen called, "Pep Talk from Kid President to You," and the little kid in the video is beyond adorable, and he is giving a pep talk. Watch this:

          We all need a little encouragement sometimes, a pep talk. I'm no stranger to this. Being the naturally shy and nervous person that I am, I have received many pep talks in my life whether they were before a volleyball game, a presentation in class, a first date, or meeting new people. Pep talks give you a sense of support, the feeling that someone is there for you and cheering you on. They give you that little extra boost to either start something new or to not give up on something that seems to be impossible.

          Maybe it is how simply this little boys puts things, or the way that he is serious but not too serious but it has really made me think about things. He's up front and from the beginning tells us to stop being boring. We were made to be more than boring, we were made to be great, to do something great with our lives. There are so many different paths that we can take in life, and like this little boy, I want to be in the one that leads to awesome. Don't we all? Don't we want to choose a path in life the makes us feel happy, and important and like we are doing something great with our life? And the thing is, we have the power to choose that path, we can be whatever we decide to be! Each person chooses their actions, shapes their character. We all have dreams, what is stopping you from achieving that dream? We can't quit or give up on our dreams, our space jam! What will be your space jam, the thing that inspires others? Your space jam will be the thing that you create that makes the world a little more awesome. So, live a little, dance a lot, never stop laughing.
