For the next 3 or so minutes I am going to be giving a speech about inspirational people. I suppose everyone is an inspirational person in their own way but these people are a few who I think stand out,
The first person I am going to talk about is a woman called Martine Wiltshire, I don’t think many people know who she is but more should. She was sadly travelling on the London underground on the 7th of September 2005 when four bombs where set off on the tubes, she was sitting just metres away from one of the terrorists and when the bombs went off she lost both her legs. After waking up from 10 days in a coma she vowed to grab every opportunity she got with both hands, one of these opportunities was being a Paralympics volleyball player in the 2012 games. She made a really bad scenario positive, and I think many of us can learn from her.
The second person I am going to talk about is Tom Daley, its not just the good looks that makes him a great role model but also that he has an amazing attitude towards sport, he is always positive and instead on dwelling on his mistakes he learns and improves from them. He treats others how he would want to be treated. He also put on an extremely brave face when last year his dad, his number 1 fan passed away. He only missed one training session at the time, as he knew it would have been what his dad wanted. When he was at the Olympics he tried his hardest to go to as many GB events as he could to support the team. He has balanced his diving time and his school work very well as he got an A, A* and B in his a level results and Olympic bronze medal which he celebrated like a gold.
The last person I am going to talk about is a truly phenomenal man and made the impossible possible,
“That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” I am sure you all recognise that quote from Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon. I think he is a truly inspirational
