This is a metaphor that Sir Issac Newton used to help us understand that “If I see further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” To translate, he means that he was capable of doing great work, because others came before him to help his path. They were people who discovered and shared ideas and then Newton took their understanding and built on it or made it better. He used their work to inspire him. Who inspires you? I am inspired by many different people. Dr. Jody Carrington inspires me to be a better teacher and friend, Leslie Gurr inspires me to keep working out and lifting weights, Ethan and Payton inspire me to keep an open mind and to keep learning. Who inspires you?

My mom inspires me. Whenever I am about to give up she tells me to try again. If that fails she tells me to do it again and again until I get it.

Payton inspires me because she is so friendly and creative. My mom inspires me because she gets the job done and encourages use to do the same. My dad inspires me because he is so positive and funny. Mrs. Watt inspires me because she is always there for you and is sooo kind, and inspiring.
