I have not seen this movie but have wanted to for a long time. This scene is very powerful as it demonstrates the importance of believing in yourself despite anybody else's critiques. At such a pivotal time in your lives, it is hard to stand up for what you want and not be influenced by those around you. It is also difficult to simply know who you all are going to be in the future. Regardless, don't give up on your dreams. Thank you for sharing this bit of inspiration, Maddie!

I think that this video is interesting. It is a great message for someone as young as the kid in the movie. I also really like some of the other clips I have seen from this movie. It is a really good message for people like us because we are always being told what we can and cannot do.

This video is extremely applicable to almost any age group. Everyone has dreams, some are just more easy to accomplish. However, people may say that some dreams are impossible, and that giving up would be better. Yet, there are no impossible dreams, just ones that have not been realized yet. College students often are forced to choose between a career that progresses them toward their dream or a career that is already known to be a success. It is the uncertainty that deters people from chasing their dreams. But, if the dream is important to the individual, they will work towards it and maybe even realize it.

I think the message in this video is so important to remember. We all have different talents and aspirations and we should all believe in ourselves. Especially during this time of our life, people are going to say you are not good enough, but if you put the effort forth, you can be whoever you want. Everyone should follow their dreams.

I think that this clip was really inspirational. A lot of people are going to tell you that you can't do things in life and you wont if you believe it. But if you tell yourself you can do it, you can. I think everyone should go for their dreams and it is really frustrating to hear about someone who doesn't because their parents don't like it. Sometimes you just need to disregard what they say and do what you want to do in life because in the real world, no one is going to be telling you what to do.

I think Maddie has a really good point that she brought up with this video. As we get ready to go to college, we get all sorts of people trying to tell us what they think we should do. Parents, teachers, friends, everyone has an opinion on our futures. It's kind of irritating being told that you won't achieve what you want to achieve. That it isn't practical or realistic or possible. It is important to do what you love. Apparently, if you love your job, you'll never work a day in your life. I don't know if that's true, but I'd like the opportunity to find out. I think that one of the most important lessons to learn in high school, before you have to go out into the world, is to be your own person.

I think that right now in our lives there is a lot of pressure to know what you want to become and know what path you want to take in life. Many of us have dreams that may seem unrealistic or hard to achieve, but if you believe strongly in them, you can accomplish anything. No one understands how you think and what your skills are like you do, and you need to take a leap of faith sometimes. In life, there are always going to be things that get in your way or people who prohibit you from being successful.

I think that this is a great video, and its super cute that Will Smith and Jaden Smith acted in the same movie together!!! This  video definitely pertains to school and life right now because so many kids are being told that something is impossible, especially with disasters occurring in the world right now; people think the world will end and so they shut down everything that is possible. This scene from the movie is inspirational plus its a sweet "father-son moment." :) Also now I really want to see this movie!!

I really liked this video and the message. I agree with you in that it applies to right now in high school, when people are saying what you can and can't be when you grow up. I think it's important to believe in yourself and stick with your goals. Like they said in the video, just because someone tells you you can't do something doesn't mean you give up. If you really want to do something, you just have to be willing to put in the time in effort required to achieve your goal.

If there's one thing I've learned over the course of high school, it's that the person who succeeds isn't necessarily always the smartest, but the hardest working. Anyone who relies on intelligence alone as opposed to hard work, determination, good goal setting, and initiative is not going to get very far. Sure, being smart obviously helps in succeeding. But many of the world's most powerful people are not super-geniuses, just people who had an idea and gave it all they got. A lot of us have one particular goal in mind, college, and many of us are giving it all we have. We want to go to that one school and get into that one program that is so special to us. It may seem sometimes that the acceptance rate is just too low for us to get in, or that the people going to our dream school are so much smarter than us, but with enough work and enough determination, anyone can overcome these boundaries.

I think this video is especially touching because as Maddie said, these two actors are actually father and son. So you just know that the scene as a whole had an impact on not only everyone who watches it, but also the relationship between Will and Jaden Smith. For me, this video portrayed a message that has been promoted all throughout our childhood, that we should pursue our dreams and not let anyone tell us what we can and cannot do. It is a very important message, and I think movies are one of the best ways to get important messages across because viewers see real life situations and can relate to them.

I think that this video really applies to our lives as current high school juniors. This year, we are going to have to decide what we want to be when we "grow up" and some of us may have dreams that we feel we can not achieve. However, if you work really hard, you can do anything. The Pursuit of Happyness is a really inspirational movie that I recommend everyone to watch it. :)
