    You seemed very comfortable, and I liked all your examples. I loved the one about disney world becuase it is a place where kids can be whoever they are. You did a great job!

  3. Paul, there were some points where you mumbled just a bit. Make sure you don't stumble over too many words. Just don't be nervous. Otherwise, good.

  4. I like how you show how the person's life changed. It was an interesting style and you made me think differently about dreams. Good presentation and good topic! I have a dream...

  5. I liked how you really challenged schooling by saying that school is really all that you focus on and not on your real dreams. I kind of hate how school gets in the way of my sports, so I can really related to that. You also seemed really comfortable and casual up there which was great I thought.

  7. It's interesting how you chose to pretty much put down the monotonous parts of life... school, work, etc. Also your Powerpoint showing the slide just full of all the things people have to deal with was a good visual. You sounded much more confident up there than I did, so good job!:)

  8. Paul-
    I could totally relate to what you were saying. I had so many dreams of what I could do when I was youger. Now I think more practically. I think if people pushed the limits and worked hard for their dreams, they can acheive them. I also like how you gave a solution to the problem you were bringing up. Also, I liked how you wore a dream cather! Great job!

  9. I really liked how you talked about Disney World to start off your presentation. I like the concept of adding photographs to the mantle and how it was symbolic of our lives. The challenge at the end was also really great.

  10. I liked how you talked about dreams as aspirations and goals that are pushed aside. Like Daniel Pink said, we need to make work into play, and we can enjoy work if it is what we dream of.

  11. I loved how you used the fireplace mantle to show a man's life. It completely made sense. We have so much stuff on our plate that we don't live life in the moment or make choices for us. Good speaking voice.

  12. I like the mantle example and how life changes and creativity and dreams are worked out of the mind. Some of the questions were a little confusing and vague. But good job.

  13. ...I like the dream catcher on your belt... Anyways, I could relate to your topic and how school and life (in general) cause us to compensate our dreams and aspirations with material possessions and distractions. Your presentation was good and you were well prepared. Nice job!

  15. Paul I liked your TED Talk and the good examples where you almost took the average life of a person and showed how their dreams drifted as they got older. Great job!

  16. Dreaming like a child has been lost in adults in society. Adults lead lives of a routine that has to be accomplished while children are free to think and not have to be constrained to what society requires. Excellent topic.

  17. Paul- Your presentation was really great! You sounded confident and your slideshow went along great with the talk. I really enjoyed listening to your talk and the message you gave!
