Bob Coombs Inspirational Speech

My name is Bob Coombs, on April 24, 2009 I was in a trampoline accident where I was training a double back flip and landed on my neck. In this past year I was in my hometown of Norway Michigan recovering and getting a custom to my new body. In the second semester of the high school year, I started sharing my knowledge with the high schoolers of Norway high. I help them with photography and graphic design. As the year ended I was asked to give a speech of inspiration for the graduates of 2010.

the speeches about how I had gone to college for three years and enjoyed every minute of it. I also tell about what I've been through this past year, and about how I'm returning to college this coming fall!

also here is a link to my photography on Flickr - http://www.flickr.com/photos/hahabobphoto/
