Martin Luther King Day, a day that will always be remembered by people around the world. While reading an article on ESPN called "I Have A Dream Speech and Hoops," by Diamond Leung, I realized the significance of this special day. It is not only to support those that were discriminated, but it was also a day of inspiration for a young man. This young man was volunteering to be a security guard for a day when he ran into Dr. King. He was very fond of this man, so he asked for a copy of his "I Have A Dream Speech." After reading through the speech, the young man took a step back and thought about his life. Ever since that day, the man has been very succesful. Throughout the rest of his life, he coached Washington State, Iowa, and USC. While reading this article, i started to think about my own life. I realized that life should never be taken for granted. I am so lucky to have a family that supports me and loves me. I am also so fortunate to be treated equally unlike the African Americans who lived during the time Dr. Martin Luther King did. This article has also showed me that to attain your goals, like Martin Luther King did, you have to take risks, be courageous and complete everything you do in confidence.
