Reading people is a form of safety that protects us from harm from others. It is good for where you live, on the street, and even where you work. It can also be a way of not being harm even in families. It is good to have this skill to help you to be strong in the outside world.
Let’s be careful. Reading people in situations in family can also hurt. People tend to believe that they know anything and everything about a person. When it comes to family, we should try to give people a chance before pushing them off. Every one may not be good if they look like someone that can harm you. There are people that would like to know you. You keep reading people like they are not good enough for you; you are making your circle of family smaller. Find out the story from that person themselves. Don’t always believe what you hear if you don’t see the person much. If you do see them you may not believe that you can hurt someone and not telling the person “Why.” If you don’t have a reason, it is them not you. You are causing more harm them good. When it comes to reading people, let’s use it for safety. Be careful that you don’t use it in a way in front of them that the person has no clue of why you hate them in your family. This is not to say you would like everyone. That is not true. I just want you to know that always reading people in your family without knowing the history of the story directly from that person will cause more harm. This can also cause separation in families as well. So, let’s learn to come together as a family when we can.

June 6, 2018 was a special day. The day of my speech on Transportation through the Brave in the Attempt Tedx Program sponsored through Special Olympics Baltimore. My family came to hear me speak at Towson University in Towson, Maryland.
Very few people were there when we arrived. I was glad to be there early. Just before speaking, we met special people that supported the Brave in the Attempt Program. I was very calm until it was nearly time for me to speak. I was glad that I practiced the speech multiple times before this big day. After speaking, I met many people who enjoyed my speech. Some told me that my speech was an inspiration to help their children! Over all, I was glad to have this experience in addition to my previous work with the police force in Baltimore. I look forward to speaking again. Below is a link to the youtube video of my speech, please enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4MRRTnElE8&list=PLBf4E-umpDDjKF_XCjOrzjjOXrDSmIjg4&t=0s&index=5 There are many ways to get around for everyone.
