  1. I was very surprised to see that he did not have any arms or legs, really. His stories are very funny I thought. I think it would be fun to mess with people like he did. I like that he helps teach values and responsibilities. I think he is just another great example of if you can do anything if you put your mind to it. He was born without any arms or legs and he is now an author, he can walk, paint, swim, all kinds of things. I also think he is a good example of a selfless person. He cares about others more than he does himself and would rather help others than help himself. I think there should be more people like him in the world. I also like when he says that he would rather be a poor man and hurt no one, than be a rich man and hurt one man.

  2. I couldn't get this to work on my computer so I watched it in class today with you. I was so surprised and shocked that he didn't have arms or legs. He told some really great stories from his life. I can only imagine how hard his life is. I think he has a great influence on peoples lives and helps many people out. Being good friends with a dwarf I know how hard is it on him and the way people look at him, I bet its harder yet for him. Nick was born with no arms or legs and didn't know where he wanted to go with his life but know he speaks to people and is a writer and can paint, and swim and much more, just because he looks different doesn't mean he isn't like us, he can do most of the same things we can. I think he had an awesome message. I wish I could of been there to see him.
