To all of the many super heroes I have met on this journey, my goal has always been to encourage you to never give up. Hug your parents. Stay positive and do better than what you are seeing right now. CHANGE THE WORLD. There is no age restriction on that.

Grabbing some coffee this morning and the barista had the best attitude and told me my beard was “epic”. That bit of kindnesses sent my entire day in an upwards trajection. Everyone continue to shine light in this world. We will win in the end. 😁

It felt so great to see my superhero’s again! This is a very difficult time for everyone and having a small sliver of normalcy did my heart good. So thankful for this opportunity.

My 2 year old got mad with me earlier because I threw away his imaginary trash. Now he’s upset at my wife because she didn’t take him to his imaginary doughnut store. Clearly we are doing well today. 🤪

Before retiring for the evening my 2 year old son instructed me to clean up his toys before I went to bed... 😂🤦🏾♂️

We partnered w/@FergFlorSchools to present @MattCarterTalks, the real-life inspiration for the book GHOST. A student said, "Dear Mr. Carter, I remember how you talked about being a hero, & how our past makes us stronger. Something I will always remember.” (📷 @jenniferalin)

I don’t know why this is making me so happy but check out the national weather radar right now. The entire United States is cloud free. Everyone is experiencing a Sunny day right now. That’s dope 😊

Last session of the day approaching. I’m about to speak with teenagers on a Saturday afternoon in the middle of a snow storm. I can’t even begin to express how impressed I am by these young superheroes. Our future looks bright.

We’re so happy to have @MattCarterTalks in STL speaking about his life experiences! Matthew is the real-life inspiration for the best-selling book GHOST by @JasonReynolds83.
Amazing first day in St. Louis! Couldn’t have asked for a warmer welcome. Literally it was 60 degrees today! Taking all the credit for bringing the warm weather here 😁. 4 schools downs and 4 more to go. Life is…
