  • dude Gavin's in my class

  • Poise beyond his years. I told my friend about the mobile phone analogy...when you talk about a talk you heard, it shows that the person can communicate an idea. His theme was engaging and he presented it with maturity. Well done.

  • Gavin hits all marks of distinction and idealism in his presentation. We need more youth like Gavin. Brilliant Gavin!  pietu

  • brilliant young man...the message of Gavin's stage-presence, prompts and reminds me of all that is promising, idealistic and fresh that our youth has to offer the world. I am filled with optimism that Gavin will succeed in all his endeavors and will add to his family honor and public respect. His Father and Mother must be bristling with pride!!! ea arciniega

  • Steve Jobs Jr. lol

  • Well done young man - you spoke with passion and certainty. I look forward to coaching you next year - I wonder if you might like to join us in a speech competition in April. Have your mom get in touch with me. Mr. B

  • This is really awesome Gavin!!! Fantastic job speaking in front of all those people!! You look so great up there! This may be part of your calling. I really think you should do more public speaking, really great!!! Super refreshing topic as well. I am optimistic!! :)

  • Thank you Gavin.  And I concur!

  • thank you Gavin. I concur!

  • What a wonderful refreshing and highly positive talk, WELL DONE Gavin. I have seen many hundreds if not thousands of presentations talks all over the world, and mainly from seasoned adult speakers, and your talk was just as polished and well presented. This talk by a 13 year old has renewed by belief in our youth. Out of Ten I score this a 14+ Hope to see more from you in the years ahead you have a great style.
