Before I discovered the miracles of science, magic ruled the
world. Now I know what you are thinking, how in a world of many discoveries
could a matter such as magic be the possible explanation? Well I’m glad you
asked. Many of you in this room were born in America, but I was born in a small village in Kasungu, Malawi.
I know it’s a foreign name, but that’s because it’s a foreign place. The events of my life weren’t only important to the make up of me, but the
makeup of my country and the individuals in it. I’m pretty
sure you all are one of those pretty curious crowds of people, so I’m not going
to talk for too long. Get your popcorn ready and enjoy the events from the life
of the boy who harnessed the wind.

At a young age I had been told by a man in my village to keep up the good work and one day I will have a good job. Well, I'm here to say to that same man, I have kept up the good work, but I didn't receive a good job, I got a great one.It wasn't about the fame and the pictures or the attention and spotlight; it was how my heart felt afterwards that mattered. I got a job that didn't only help myself, but helped my whole community. I was a hero, and trust me, it couldn't get any better than that.
