Tommy's keynote speaker debut at Richmond Public School October 2017

Tommy was thrilled to be invited to speak to kids , making his keynote motivational speaker debut at Richmond Public School! His Kindergarten teacher, Jeananne Gilchrist, kindly invited him to come to her school to meet all the students, and give a talk! Thank you, Jeananne, for believing in Tommy, supporting Tommy, and embracing the Whee and the joy! Tommy was proud to take the podium and tell his story and even happier to meet and shake hands with each student afterwards, and introduce Adel, and begin a new exciting journey connecting with kids! Tommy's message to them- Be yourself, dream big, work hard, be proud to be different, find your strengths, celebrate the things that make YOU say Whee! It's good to be different, and it's ok to need help and support. And it's important to help others, and be kind. We love you, Richmond Public School! Thank you for being the start of a new chapter for Tommy, a new adventure where he teaches and motivates others, and becomes part of something much bigger than himself! See you all in the spring when your track season begins! Whee!!!
Tommy is an Athlete with Autism who loves Disney!

lookyus Prince Tommy, you’re an inspiration to us all! As Mulan always says, “You bring honor to us all!” Keep doing what you do, my second favorite Disney Prince! Whee!

What a wonderful opportunity. Tommy, you are wonderful. 🙂✨💫

[@UTUVIS]

Ever so heartwarming. Going back to the place it all began. Just to think, once upon a time Tommy was a little kid...since now he's a professional athlete and big role model 💞💕😃

[@lookyus]

Thank you for your kind words. Yes, when Tommy was in Jeananne's kindergarten class, she was teaching at W. O. Mitchell School, but now she is teaching at Richmond Public School. She has followed Tommy on social media, and was so kind to invite him to visit the school and speak! Tommy loved it and was so happy to meet all the kids. At the time Jeananne taught Tommy, his autism made it very challenging for him to participate in the classroom.

Hi, Lookyus. When Tommy danced with Cinderella many years ago, I was crying tears of joy. Maybe one-day, I want to achieve that same dream to dance with Cinderella, but I fear I might get bullied and judged for dancing with her, but I must follow my heart and keep my chin up so my dream to dance with Cinderella will finally come true.

[@lookyus]

Hi Byron, I hope you get the chance to go to Disney World or Disneyland someday and meet Cinderella! There is always music playing, and princesses are always happy to share a short dance with a gentleman! Don't worry about being judged- the only thing that matters is what you believe about yourself, and the kindness you show towards others. Hold your head high, and be proud of who you are, always. And when you get the chance to meet a princess, always dance with her! Best wishes to you! Thanks for watching and commenting! -MaryAnn, Tommy's mom
