Good morning, my names Anthony Anderson and today I'll be sharing my life story with you all. Everyone's probably wondering why today, a limbless man is on this table, raising his voice at everyone… well I'm here to help you. Now, you're all here because you're in an unpleasant or unfortunate situation in life and you simply can't take it anymore. Well, let me tell you, I've been there… I've lived through those thoughts and situations… I know how you feel. It's difficult, I know, but it's possible to overcome it.
Growing up as a child, I was surrounded by four walls. It felt impossible for me to feel happy. I mean, how could I have possibly felt happy? I had no arms for me to touch, and no legs for me to walk… no arms to catch, no legs to kick. At age 10, I thought of committing suicide. Why? Because I had nothing to look forward too. I always thought to myself, Anthony… who would want to marry a man who can't even hold his wife's hand? Who would have children with a man who can't even pick his kids up when they're crying? …show more content…
I thought I was a hopeless child for nothing put the purpose of making others laugh. I was wrong. Every single human being has value, my value might not be determined by how I look, from how I dress, from what job I have, from where I was born, or how much money I have. My value, is my faith. Let me tell you, the reason I'm alive and here today, is because of my parents. My parents always told me I was beautiful the way I was, and not to worry about what others thought about me. I had the choice of being angry for what I don't have or thankful for what I do have. I chose to be thankful. I urge you all to come to the truth of who you are and why you are here. It might be difficult for you, but it'll save
