On January 28th Tyrone Smith was the presenter at 1st Annual Christa McAuliffe Day. It was held at Christa McAuliffe Middle School where Mr. Smith attended as an eighth grader in 1987.  Mr. Smith encouraged the entire eight grade class to realize that they have purpose in life. The presentation was filled with energy, excitement and enlightenment about living filled with purpose and a willingness to succeed.

Today we had a presentation with a guest speaker, Tyrone Smith, he was here to speak to us about leadership. He spoke to us about his past, about problems he had gone through to recognize what he had to do to be a leader for himself. I learned to be a leader is someone to look up to. A leader does the right thing, and doesn't follow other people. He or she depends on themselves whether to make the right choices or not, and to be an individual.
