Let Me Be Frank
Don't Judge a Book By its Cover
Motivational speaker John Donahue Grossman visits Maine West and teaches a lesson we can all value.
This week at school, the freshmen and sophomores were visited by a guest speaker. When we got into the auditorium, he was introduced. He was a man in a ratty black/red plaid jacket and a hat and he had a hard time speaking. Of course, being the immature age that we are, there were many people who laughed at him and made rude comments about his disability. He had barely said anything, and these people were already judging him. Less than five minutes into his talk, he revealed his true self. He was not a mentally handicap man who was poor, but rather a man who was portraying a character. The point of doing this was to show us how easy it is to make assumptions about others without knowing a single thing about them based on their appearance…
