Speaker's Club: The Go-Getter

For Speaker's Club the youth were given the assignment to read The Go-Getter by Peter B. Kyne and summarize and apply the book.  It is a motivational parable to inspire leaders to take inattentive and excel against the odds.  It is the story of an old lumber company founder, Cappy Ricks, and a young World War I veteran, Bill Peck, who comes to the old captain for a job.  To prove himself worthy of his new job, Peck beats the odds, and his quota, and earns the opportunity to be tested for broader horizons.  Using the lessons he has learned from an inspirational mentor on the battlefield, Peck overcomes outrages obstacles with his persistence, determination, passion and a giant sense of responsibility.  Peck epitomizes the employee who is able to surpass expectation and join the ranks of leadership through undaunted effort. 

Above are the kids presentations.  

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run,
 but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.
