Nick Vujicic

Nick Vujicic was born 26 years ago in Melbourne, Australia to his parents Boris & Dushka Vujicic. He was born without arms or legs. His medical condition wasn't given a reason. Even though he does not have any limbs he does have a small foot with two toes. Nick is a motivational speaker and the director of life without limbs. Life without limbs is an organization for people who are physically disabled.
Nick was not allowed to go to regular school because Asutralian law restricted physically disabled people from going to a mainstream school. Once the law was changed Nick was one of the first pyshically disabled people to go to a mainstream school. Nick has fought against many disadvantages and does things people wouldn't have expected him to do. He can surf, swim, and golf. He graduated from University with a double major in accounting and financial planning. He has done many things, but now he is a motivational speaker. He speaks to teenagers about how you should never give up. He is a prime example for this as he has no limbs and has never given up completely. Nick has thought about giving up. When he was 10 years old he thought about commiting suicide, but he choose not to and decided to stick it out.
To me and probably many other people Nick is an inspirational person. He inspires us with how much he was able to do with his life with what he was given. Instead of sitting around feeling sorry for himself Nick goes out into the world and motivates teenagers. He teches them to never give up and to always look on the bright side.

William Kamkwamba

William Kamkwamba is from a small country in Africa. He is an amazing person. He was able to come from being a dropout from school to building a windmill. William Kamkwamba is an amazing person because, unlike other people in poor countries, he went and did something about it instead of just waiting around for other people from other countries to do something. He was also able to build a windmill by reading books and figuring out on his own how to build one.

I think that the concept of people building their own windmills should be brought to other poor countries. William could go to other countries and talk to them about what he did and what they could do to make their lives easier and maybe happier. Not just William but other people who learn and teach about energy could go and teach them about windmills and other technologies they can use for their own use.

I think that it is amazing how countries like Canada and the United States have all this new technology and places like Malawi are just starting to get windmills. I believe that if places like Malawi could get the knowledge and supplies that they need that they could start to get more advanced technological wise.
