Chance Greyson: What A Sixth Grader Teaches Us About Social Media http://is.gd/ce04T /via @TrendTracker
What I really love about this video is how passionate Chance is about his performance. Many students would be extremely shy to show this type of emotion during a talent show in front of their peers, however, Chance is brave enough to show his emotion.
