Wise Words

This past week, our class was give the opportunity to hear the story of a Navy SEAL from a Navy SEAL himself.  He began by telling his story.  Beginning with where he came from to where he is now, he had many different stories about his journey.  One story that stuck out for me was the story about a young girl.  It was a very sad story, and even more sad to hear that Clay, the Navy SEAL, still sees her and feels her presence although this occurred many years ago.  He explained his story so well, that there was somewhat of a somber mood across the room.  It was truly amazing to hear his story and how he has overcome everything he has been through.
During Clay's presentation, he also talked about hard work.  Through his own personal story, he told us about his own experience about overcoming obstacles.  After being shot, he was put in a wheelchair and told by various doctors that he would never walk again.  He searched until he found a doctor that would tell him that there was hope for him to walk again.  One of the main points Clay made during his presentation was that if people tell you that you can't do something, it is all the more reason to show them you can.
