  1. I kind of agree with him that you don't have to have a story to be successful. I have never been skiing either. I agree with him that they are not successful because of the moment, but more what they did with it. If you live out how you were meant to, people will see you for you. Your own story should be the only one that really matters to you.

  2. He told his story about being in FFA it wasn't only FFA he liked to watch the others walk across the stage. Then he told his story about skiing and the sign saying experts only, Ryan and him did rock papers scissors and he had to go first because he told himself he couldn't give in. Brian's skiing went pretty good but he didn't do the jump and then Ryan flipped upside down and landed on his head, but he was strong and walked down the mountain, Ryan continuously tried the jump and by the end of the day he mastered it. He told his speech on the sign from reading the sign it made him feel he couldn't do it, but Ryan went past it and did it, looking back Ryan wishes he wouldn't of let the sign stop him. Why does it take failing a test to teach us to study for the next one. His question was why don't we start ignoring all the signs and be ourselves and make our own stories. Don't use others stories to stop us, use their stories to push us to make our own stories. Martina came up to Brian and told him she was quitting FFA so he asked why, she wanted to quite because she felt like her story would never matter because she was always compared to her sisters. Her realization that she told Brian kept her in FFA made her realize her story does matter. What is our story, what makes us different?? Katie is his friend that knows everything about him and is his best friend she had been there for everything, one morning he got a call from her that she was driving to Pennsylvanian because her cousin had been killed and he didn't know what to say, She finally told him she didn't call him to need a fake Brian she needs the true Brian to talk to her to be himself. We can act now, we have the only story that matters, our story is our story and it matters!

    I really like what he had to say.
