What is inspiration? Middles and Seniors watched the following short video called: –‘NEVER GIVE UP, Nick Vujicic in a School.’ Nick is a motivational speaker who was born a Thalidomide, with no arms or legs. He has a short limb he calls ‘Chicken drumstick’, and has become a VERY independent adult, teaching and challenging himself to do many and varied things that ‘able bodied’ people can achieve. The children were touched by the presentation and have come up with their own ‘Inspirational Statements.’ Watch the video again with your children to see what they saw.

A sample of INSPIRATIONAL STATEMENTS from the students:
Nick has touched me so much. He made me feel important now because I used to think I was a piece of rubbish. These are some of the things I have learnt from him:

Don’t wish for things you know you are not going to get.
Everyone is special no matter what happens to you.
You can always have a go, just keep trying and trying.

NO ARMS NO LEGS NO WORRIES.

If you say you can’t do it you can’t, but if you say you can do it you can!!

Believe in yourself, keep trying to make an attempt.

Don’t waste your life.

Be happy with what you’ve got.

Challenge yourself.

If you help people, they help you back.

You can be happy even if you don’t have everything you want.

Two wrongs don’t make a right.

If you’re embarrassed don’t give up.

It doesn’t matter what you look like you’re the same in the inside.

You can do anything that is possible only if you believe in yourself.

Don’t waste your life wishing for something you know you won’t get.

It’s a lie that you are not important, because everyone is important and special.

Be grateful for what you have and who you are.

You are beautiful, so don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

If you give up on yourself, don’t expect other people to give up on you.

Be grateful for what you have.

To cope with stuff people that say about you, use your humour.

Even if someone is different it doesn’t mean they can’t do things you can do.

Don’t worry if you have a disability your life can still be worthwhile, never give up.

Be confident in who you are.

Don’t judge other people, they can be better at some things than us.

Even though you might be born with a disability, it don’t mean you aren’t as good as others.

It’s alright if you are not the same as others because you’re still special.

It doesn’t matter if you are big or small, fat or skinny, or have no arms or legs, there is always something special to find. There is no such thing as not perfect!
