Kevin Brooks
This afternoon, students from grade 6 to 12 had the opportunity to listen to a dynamic, energetic speaker - Kevin Brooks. Kevin is a car crash survivor who now tours across the country speaking to youth about choices, consequences, drinking and driving, suicide, dealing with pain, both physical and emotional, and forgiveness. What is unique about Kevin is that he discusses these topics not from a preachy way but by telling his own heart-wrenching story. It was not all depressing as he often threw in his own brand of humour around catheters and wheeling in circles. Thank you to SGI and Sasktel for sponsoring Kevin's visit. Judging from the attention and respect from the students, I'm sure it's a presentation that will leave an impression on many. Learn more about Kevin and his story on his website. Students who saw the presentation, please complete the survey on his presentation.
