Re: Did you find the author Inspiring?

[Ferdinand_Otieno]

The author’s life story was definitely inspiring to me. There are very few people that would work as hard as he did in his life situation to become more and actually achieve lasting success. I think his life story is one of the greatest things about the book.

Just seeing the kind of challenges and responsibilities he had as a child and how he handled not only that but also maintained impressive acacemic excellence is very inspiring.

It's inspiring anytime you see someone make lofty goals, overcome struggles, persevere, and succeed. It really goes to show you that anything is possible if you have the willpower and drive to keep moving in that direction.

I would really like to nuture that level of willpower for myself. It was very inspiring reading about the author's life and the determination and willpower he exhibited.

I am inspired by the author's determination to achieve success in life despite all the difficulties he encounters.

It was very inspiring seeing how his determination got him through not being recognised for his academic achievments due to a discriminating principal.

How can you not! The simple fact he carries on with things like his education whilst facing such adversity is inspiring alone. I'll take the mature and powerful way he handled unfair situations into my own life and use them to give me a positive attitude.

He did gain a lot of experience in facing hardships as a child, and that experience did not change who he essentially was as a person. That was very inspiring.

I think the fact that he wasn't scared to speak up for himself and others, to protect them, that is a very inspiring quality. it is very courageous and could motivate other people to step up also

I admire his perseverance, courage, his sense of fairness, and his determination. I do find these qualities quite inspirational.

His sesnse of fairness made him risk his position at MIT to speak out against a wrong. That is very inspiring, especially considering the emphasis he placed on his academic journey.

He had mainly placed his focus on academic journey and putting that in some risk to speak out for himself and others was truly inspiring.

I think the author was very inspirational. When the character failed to obtain a scholarship, he continued to push and work for his education. This is something that is very important especially in today’s age. People need to know that no matter what they face in life they can come out on top!

[lwahls2]

He is definitely someone to be admired. Rising above insults and barriers to education are two admirable traits that hopefully inspire others. Time and time again his tenacious attitude toward succeeding in life carried him through to real success. I find the author very inspiring!

[Thundershake]

I would say very inspiring! Most people would have gotten discouraged over the discrimination the author faced but he never gave up. Just goes to show with determination and the will to succeed anyone can accomplish anything they want.

It is indeed an undeniable fact that anyone who is determined and has the will to succeed will always achieve their goal. This is what the author clearly sends out.

Yes, I agree. Usually one's resolve determines whether one achieves a hard goal or not. Those with an abundance of it will most certainly be victorious

The fact he had the inner strength to deal with and rise above discrimination.
