Today I learned how you can connect lots of stories to athletes lifes and what they go through to become who they are today. We connected the questions to real life athletes and if their background can detect their future.Some of the athletes grew up in bad neighborhood and we talked about how that should not matter the only thing that matters is that their passionate about that sport. It relates to Malala because she stood up for what she believed in like athletes do .It also relates to the giving tree because the boy picked apples from the tree and sold itv for what he wanted like athletes work for what they want in life.Meredith brought up the long walk and how Odessa had to go to work in rain to support her family but she did it for others like lots of athletes play to support someone or themselves.  - Sanya Trehan

The thing that I took out and learn from this ed cafe is showed we be foucsed on the little most simplest things in life or the big overall values of life

I learned that athletes who grew up in rough neighborhoods, they sometimes have their area or neighborhood to thank for some of their success. Athletes such as Derrick Rose and LeBron James grew up in areas with a lot of violence and gang activity. These athletes were motivated to work harder than others who were more privileged because they wanted to get out of that area.

Jim Reindl: We discussed how underprivileged athletes turn out better than athletes from a privileged background. We brought up the story of Derrick Rose and the story of Frank Kaminsky, and discussed how the Giving Tree could be symbolic of the story of a privileged athlete and how the TED Talk could relate to athletes from underprivileged backgrounds.

Nicole Straczynski: I learned that a lot of our passions and the roles of the people around us shape who we are. Like for example, Malala's father taught her and mentored her when girls didn't learn. This education shaped Malala to stand up for women's rights and become the person who she is today. I also leaned how the giving tree shaped the boy by giving him parts of herself. The items the tree gave shaped who the boy would eventually become.

I learned that pro athletes that grew up in unprivileged neighborhoods can be just as good as someone who grows up wealthy because a true athlete has the potential to succeed without the help of something such as a neighborhood. This connect to Malala because she grew up some where that girls were not allowed to go to school. I think that she would have been just as inspirational in a different community

Ellie Wisner- I learned how both stories connect to having passion. In the Malala story she was passionate about women's rights and so was her father. In the story with the boy and the tree, the tree always was happy when giving the boy things that he needed throughout his life. Also a lot of our passions and friends that we have now, will shape who we are in the future.

Lexi Emmens: I learned that it doesn't matter weather a star athlete grew up in a poor or wealthy neighborhood. It's their inner drive to become the best person that the can become. In our group, we often brought up Derrick Rose. We are all familiar with the story of Derrick Rose. He was born in the South Side of Chicago, which is not the best neighborhood. He had the inner drive to become a really good basketball player to escape his almost horrifying upbringing.
