What a touching video. Anthony - thank you for sharing your story. No teeanger should be tormented the way you were and yet the sad truth is many are each and every day. I am sure you touched many of the students in the audience and because of your story maybe a few less kids who are "different" will get bullied.

My heart breaks with sorrow and bursts with pride while watching this. I love and admire Anthony Wilkinson more each day. He is a man like no other who teaches us every day how to be better through his words and his actions. I have never been more proud to call some one my friend than I am to say that about him. Just by knowing him, he has changed my life and made me a better person. He will always be my hero.
