What’s Your Story?

50 Minutes

Each day a new page in the story of our lives is written. Too often, circumstances and those around us gain authorship of that story by default. In this high energy talk, Tommy uses humor, examples from his adolescence, biographical excerpts of our society’s champions and magic (including a straitjacket escape finale) to challenge and inspire young people to daily utilize “right choices” to “write” a powerful story with their lives. Topics covered include the importance of academic effort, making healthy choices and how we each have a role to play in putting a stop to bullying.
