"I am not a fan of basketball and to tell you the truth I wasn't even going to attend the assembly today, but my friends made me come. When the assembly started you took the microphone in your hand and started speaking words of such wisdom and encouragement. I don't think I had ever related to that sort of speech before. For only a few words, it had such a deep impact. Thank you for taking this road in your life to inspire the youth of our country!"
