My Refkection
I Might have not gotten much on my smore but don't let that fool you, I learned a lot about not just Lex but how he over came his blindness to become a world champion. He works so hard to be the best he can be. He sings and writes songs and even motivates people to be the best they can be not the best society wants them to be. He is a big inspirational person.
