Why Everyone Should Learn From Kid President

By now you have probably seen a few videos, or hopefully at least heard of, Kid President. So far he has met President Obama, Beyoncé, Ellen, and a lot of other famous people. He's just a cute kid that makes videos right?
Wrong.
He's a lot more then that. He's an inspiration to be a better person, to keep a good attitude even when things are tough, and, of course, to always dance.
Kid President has Osteogenesis Imperfecta which is also known as Brittle Bone disease.
(More Information about OI here: http://www.oif.org/site/PageServer )
The most recent number on the media of Kid President's broken bones and surgeries were 50 and 13. And yet he still has an infectious smile and positive message on all of his videos.
Kid president also gives great quotes to live by. Some of my favorites are "You can't be sad when you're holding a cupcake" and "What if there were really two paths? I'd want to go down the path that leads to awesome." I mean come on people. It doesn't get much better then that.
Also Kid President is like ten years old. What were you doing when you were ten? I'm pretty sure at that point I still thought I was the coolest kid around, always wanted presents, and sung way too much considering I have always been tone deaf. Instead of doing that, this kid is going through hard stuff, like breaking bones, and yet he still has the time and spirit to inspire the world. He's ten you guys! That's crazy!
Another thing is he is confident and doesn't let anyone else get him down. Which is something I personally look up to. Like in the video of him cat caroling. Most of the time people gave them weird looks. And once a guy didn't even look up or smile or give any sort of reaction to it. At that point I would have trailed off awkwardly and walked away and my face would have been so red I would have looked sun burnt.
He doesn't let his fears stop him. The one thing he said he was afraid of was talking to girls so he made a video of himself calling one and showed everyone he could overcome what he was scared of. By doing that he shows you that you can too.
His video are made to help you realize how to make the world, and sometimes even yourself, better.
