Milton Creagh

Wow, what a surprising presentation today. We had a man who goes by the name of Milton Creagh come speak to us about abuse and domestic violence in our daily lives. He shared some frightening statistics like 1 in 3 women are being abused at home. At first,  I thought it was just going to be one of those really boring assembly's or something like that, but when time passed it got interesting and the message that he conveyed was powerful.

He has already spoken to hundreds of thousands of students before us and said his gift of being an orator was "ordained by God." Milton Creagh mentions how he was born in North Carolina but spent most of his time in Chicago, where he started taking an interest in public speaking. He is a workaholic and appeals to to his lecture schedule. Despite being so busy, he still has time to devote to his writing passion.

He talked about having $3 shoes and that Converse shoes were all the rage back in his time, instead of Nike and  Reebok etc. Milton Creagh showed us how deeply we are related to one another, because most of us have lost our close ones due to the violence in our world. We live in such a treacherous world, because we allow those things to happen. It takes just a little effort to make the world a better place.
