I think that any one can be great. like when MLK said in the video if you have a heart if you have a soul you can be great. The things he said in the video are really powerful things they have a lot of meanings to the thing's he says.
I agree to the words that MLk said. everybody that has a heart and a soul can be more than great. For me his words are powerful because by the way he talked gives me strength to go on each day that pass by . As everybody I have a dream and hat dream is to be in the U.S army and to serve this country I know its really tough being there but I feel strong to be a soldier of the army. Once I thought that this was impossible for me but I found help from a army soldier and she gave me all the information and finally I passed the SAT test and I hope Now I pass the physical test and be part of the U.S army. Now I know that there's nothing impossible. I feel more than happy because I know That I will make my dream come true.
Great to hear Nereyda. I am glad to hear that you are pursuing your dreams. I agree that MLK's words are very powerful.
I like the guy Martin Luther King because he was a real leader. He represents a person who didn't gave up on his dream. He also is a person who change the thoughts of America. I think like martin Luther king made it change so we can to! I think there is gonna be a person that is gonna be respected for saving the illegal imigrants!
I think that what the video said is saying that you don’t have to be in portent to serve other people also that you don’t have to be smart or have money to serve you have to be your self and nice to other people just because you are from other race that don’t mean that your not smart.

i think that the video was interesting because it was just words, but it was interesting. Yes i think that any one can be great if they want to be great. MLK is very wise by saying that anyone can be great as well as anyone can serve and anyone can have someone do things for them. MLK's word really get to people that is probably one of the reasons why he is such a good part of history.
I think that Matin luther king was a very imortant guy to the Untied States!Oh I agree with the video for what he said he says that everything that you want to do can come true but only if you put your mind to it!I think that if he was our school counculor everyone that is doing bad in school will be doing way better!Because he has powerful words.
Great comments guys. He was a great leader and speaker. He did speak very powerful words. Luis, I think you're right. I hope that there will be a person, like MLK, to fight (non-violent of course) for the rights of illegal immigrants.
i think it was really interesting and he was tough and alot of people liked his speeches. I think he did a good choose because if it wasn' because of him black people wouldn't have the rights that they have now.
well i think that his words were rely power full .to he was a good leader like the speach he gave in washington that rely helped him alot whith his silver movement the words that relly tuched me was wen he said i want my chilldren to be treated not by the way they look but by there charecter and i agree with him and he is one of my heor i wont to be like him i want to make a change in my country or in my community
Great comment Krystal. He is one of my heroes too.
I think that anyone can be great. It just takes time and an idea to do something to beable to change the wold. IT doesn't need to be a big thing it can be anything small.It is things like this that can help someone and even the world. You do'nt have to be a big person, but you have to have a big heart and have your mind set to do something good to chage somthing.
Changing something like slavery. This is what Dr.King did to help out people in need and for the right for everyone. He wanted to see every one from every cultuer to hold hands and to respect each other. This was something that nobody need see back then. Black people were bing missed used, they couldn't do anything a white man do.
this was something sad to see and to know that this actually did happen. Even though it still happens. With out Dr.King's help who knows how the world would be today.
You don;t have to do something as great as Dr.King did. Anyone can be great.=]
I think that the video had a great power. A strong power was coming out from his mouth. Of course anyone can become a great person, they just have to believe on their self and stay strong.
i think the video was great. KIL's words are very powerful.He is right. no matter where are you from. everyone has a heart. i think angone can be great. no matter where are u from.
i think MLK is right he want every people follow their heart. everyone have dream and they need to make their dream come true. MLK said the word very powerful. He MLK was change the world. People still and will talk about MLK forever.
ithink MLK was a great leader and he helped to chance a lot laws.
i also think we can be great and help each other, to have a better life without descrimination and ricism.
I think all people have a dream. MLK was very committed to his dream. He was a great leader and priest. I think if we have dreams we have to work hard each day. I compare MLK with Cesar Chaves because they fought for something.
i think the video was good, but i want some picture about MLK in that video.
i agree with him. he was a realy good speaker and a very good leader. everybody can be great, depending each person, the way that they think, and if you don't have any goals you can't be great... you have to be unique... this is the way that i think...
haha!!!
BYE!!!
I think is creat because everybody that has a heart. the things they have a lot of meanings to the things and one i though that this was imposible for me.also the person who change and i feel more that happy.
I thence that the video is telling the truth because no mater what race you are anyone can be great I think that he makes really good speeches.
I think that what the video said is saying that you don’t have to be in portent to serve other people also that you don’t have to be smart or have money to serve you have to be your self and nice to other people just because you are from other race that don’t mean that your not smart.

I think that anyone can be great as long as they have agood messege for everyone. Not being selfish wolud be something great for mankind. I think we would have less problems that way.
I agree with the words of MLK because he was inspirying in a powerful african American that created a peaceful movement that inspired many people to make a change in their lives.
I think that MLK is right we have to treate everybody like we treate best freind like best sisters even if you have a problem with them, or if you hate them you still have to treate them nice and like they make a change world.
I think the video is great because it's telling you that you don't have to make your subject and your verb agree to be serve and I think that's right. Anyone can be great if they have a heart full of grace and also has a soul. Well I thing that servant means when you are serving others; taking care of thire needs and wants,ignoring your own. Takes all the taks and tries to do, and also tries to complete the tasks of the one asking.
the word serve means great.i think that anybody can be serve.just like he said in his speche.

Martin Luther King was a great speaker he wasn't afraid of anyone cause he thought that every one should be equal cause it didin't matter what color you are cause we are all the same and color doesn't make a difference.Whites are like blacks and mexicans same just a different color.
I THINK THAT MATIN LUTHUR KING JR DID NOT CHANGE THE WORLD BECUSE IF HE DID IT WOUND NOT BE ROUND BUT THE WOURLD IS ROUND NO BADY CAN CHANGE IT.
I THINK THAT MATIN LUTHUR KING JR DID NOT CHANGE THE WORLD BECUSE IF HE DID IT WOUND NOT BE ROUND BUT THE WOURLD IS ROUND NO BADY CAN CHANGE IT.
He was a great man. He wanted to show to the society and every one that there is no difference between people. No matter how they look like or what color their skin is or where they come from. They are all the same and we must behave well, as well as we behave with others. He said in that famous speech that you don't have to make your subject and verb agree to be servant. If people have a heart full of grace, then they can be great. Martin Luther King wanted to change the way that people were thinking about the society. There is nothing different between people and they are all the same.
Everyone can reach their dream if they want to and if they believe that they are great.
I set goals last semester but I didn't get my goal. My goal was to get a 2.7 GPA but I didn't get it because I didn't pass two of my classes. So now my goal is going to be to do night school and pass the two calsses I am going to take there. My other goal is to pass all my classes this year.
i think of the video that it was great and that the speach that he mad was wondeful.
I think that MLK was a great man ankd that if it wasen't for him we would't have the rights we have now. I agree to the words that MLK said and thaut nereyda mention, Everydbody that has a heart can be more than great. Coool man.
I agree that anyone can be great just like mlk his words are powerful because by the way he talked. I HAVE A DREAM that was something that made nse sronger evey moring i wake up saying i have a dream my dreams is saying that im going to do good at school but it dont work cause i do bad at school lol.
