Sef's speech was awesome, and his family and community should be proud to show that their own is a brave young man. Hopefully others will see this and know that disability is an obstacle, not a dead end. Proud is an understated word for Sef's actions. Excellent job man..

I watched his speech in another vid, and it was a privilege to hear him. Thank you.

Thank YOU SO MUCH SEF!!! WOW...AWESOME SPEECH young man!!! Wow...I wasn't sure what to "expect" when, after having a dream about a friend of mine and his relative last night, and went to his facebook wall to see what he had posted, and it was your speech!! In the dream, I had just come in the side door of his house, turned right, gone up a few steps, and saw my friend's relative standing there. Some new plywood had been installed on the floor, so there was some kind of remodeling project going on, and for some reason, he was placing a small metal and glass corner table on top of the plywood near the corner of the back and side wall of the house. I am not clear on this, but there may have been about a one or two foot bump out on the side wall with a new bay window looking out towards the driveway. Anyway, I came up and shook his hand, and he told me that I needed to devote myself to studying the word of God. I knew he meant on a full time basis, and I was a bit reluctant, even fearful, not knowing how I would provide for the needs of my family if I did that. I only remembered this dream after waking up and having a vision of a minister by the name of Todd White, who walks in the miraculous every day of his life. One of his defining features, is that he wears his hair in dreadlocks, that now, after about 13 years of growth, reach almost to his waist, but in this vision, the dreads were no longer their, but he still had very long, thick brown hair. The phrase, "No dread", came to mind, meaning, "no fear", and it was only then, that I immediately remembered the dream I shared above. Todd is who He is today, because He is in the word of God constantly, and he is just fearless when it comes to walking out what it says about us and what we can do as we follow our Messiah's example and His words. I was really drawn to your video, because my wife Carrie has been dealing with some disablities all of her life (which stem from her mother's failed abortion attempt on her life now almost 50 years ago, and we have a heart to reach out to people with disablities, and like you, giving your "Unexpected" speech at your high school graduation, we have many people who are trying to tell us what our dreams should be...what we should do in their opinion, instead of following the dreams and visions God has given to us. Such an encouragement to say the least when I watched this video!! After watching your video, this is what I shared on my facebook page this morning. Are you living in fear today? Do you dread what could or might happen if you dare to step up to the plate and do the things that you know you are called to do? Do you spend your life trying to convince others that their dreams are too big for them, or that they can't possibly accomplish what God has given them to accomplish? Well, if that is you, please do not waste any more of my time or my wife Carrie's time with that kind of talk. If you believe in what we have been called to do, we welcome you on our journey, but if not, go take your negative talk somewhere else...as we are not going to listen to it anymore. Be richly blessed Sef, God has great plans for you!!!
