Awesome on at least four different levels.

And I say that, with authority.

Watch this, be moved, relish the typography, the inflection of the speaker, the cool animation, and the digital patterned paper background. I think my day is complete. :)

That is awesome! I had to pause the video a couple of time just to study the way the words interacted with one another.

Thanks for sharing,

True, yet witty...
Wise, yet authoritative
Awesome, yet entertaining.

But, whose VOICE is it?!

This video just made my day. The speaker's sentiments, inflection and the typography. It all came together.

I agree--AWESOME! I caught myself missing the words of the speaker because I was so caught up in watching the animation. Thank you for sharing and bringing a smile to my day.

That was really cool. I am sure there are a lot of English teachers and parents out there that would appreciate that. :)

Jessica, thank you so very much for sharing this video with us. I plan on posting it on my blog Friday.

Applause, applause! I can rarely understand the young who use parenthetical phrases to such excess that that they cannot be understood at all. Communication is everything! The video's author communicates exquisitely by the typography and the spoken word! Thank you for bringing our attention to this wonderful video, Jessica! I have downloaded it to savor again and again!

In answer to Mamie's question, the speaker and the author of the essay is Taylor Mali, whose credits are given at the end. You can read more about him at http://www.taylormali.com/. He is a teacher,writer of poetry, and a speaker.

As a youth leader in my church I hear Sr High kids speak as if they are just learning. I've copied this and sent it to them...ya know, it can't hurt?
