Gavin has ADHD. He chose to do his Ted Talk about it because he thought it would be a good to share the way it affects his life. This speech teachers that people are different but we all have respect, love, and peace in our hearts that we can pass this on to others.

Gavin is a creative thinker. He likes to look ahead in life and think about what he wants and how it will affect his future. He also has a main focus to get into the University Notre Dame. Even though he is a simple fourth grader, he has got his entire life ahead of him and he believes that if it is not planned or does not have a back up plan, it is gonna be a big MISSION FAILED. Did I mention he likes spies?
