Research Paper On Jimmy Valvano

Decent Essays
Jimmy Valvano was really inspirational for me to watch as a young adult, that’s about to start his life after college. It had me thinking about the little things in life that makes me happy for me to keep fighting through whatever that’s going on with me. Couple of things that makes me happy in life is family, friends, and having high self-confidence whenever I do stuff in life on my own. After watching his video, I felt a little confidence came in while watching this video, because of what he said in his speech that made me think of the great wonders of life and not the bad things in life. In my perspective, yes life is going to be hard to deal with it but, you can’t only look at it in the bad way, you can also look at it as a good way
