My Comments to the Talk


When I finished watching this movie, this speaker made me understand a key point.

When you have goals in your life, you do everything to achieve them. It doesn't matter if you are smart or not, If you really want something, you can do it. We need to work hard, and we mustn't be Conformist.

My Comments to the Talk

I am deeply impressed by her speech, " You made me feel like I was somebody when I knew, at the bottom, I wasn't." If I was a student of her, then I really respected her. Because of her support, I can felt 'I can do it!'. I think maybe every teachers who in the world like her, then most students can get courage so they can better than before.
