Tierney Cahill: "Living Without Fear"

Tierney Cahill's inspiring message spoke to me in several different ways. She proved to her sixth grade class the importance of democracy in United States of America. She showed everyone in the audience and her young students the importance of their voice in the government and the true meaning of democracy. She started off with the mission of just finding a simple way to teach her sixth grade students the importance of democracy is a clear, understandable way. In the end she had not only run for a congressional representing the state of Nevada ,but taught her sixth grade students the more complicated meaning of democracy. She proved one, "average American" can really impact the world. I can be an inspiration to others by doing what I really set my mind too. despite all obstacles and adversities. I am afraid to start horseback riding again after my fall several years ago. However, if I gain up the courage to start riding again and the patientce and determination to master the skills of riding again I can truly do it. No matter the daunting tasks one faces, anything is posible if you put your mind to it.
