Speech to Scholarship Winners

This is the transcript of a speech Jamy Bechler gave to the 2021 Barberton, Ohio Kiwanis International scholarship winners. 

Some of us see a 6. Some of us see a 9.

Sometimes whether we see a 6 or a 9 is based on our perspective. Our point of view.

We sometimes see things differently than others. It doesn’t mean that they are right and we are wrong, but it also doesn’t mean that we are right and they are wrong. Sometimes people just see things differently.

Sometimes it’s not just people but situations or things that we see differently. We might see a 6, but the reality is that the situation is a 9.

Our point of view or perspective may not always be right, but it also may not always be wrong. Sometimes we just see the world differently.
