Dolphin Tale - Finding Inspiration
The movie Dolphin Tale is based on a true story. In fact, Winter, the dolphin in the movie, is the actual dolphin who lost her tail.
I would like you to watch the trailer of the movie and then answer the following questions:
1. How can this story of survival and people coming together to do the impossible inspire you?
2. What is an obstacle in your life that seems impossible? What can you do to try to overcome that obstacle?
3. As you can see from Dolphin Tale, they have to reach out to others and ask for help to make their goal a reality. Who can you ask for help?
If the above one doesn't work, please try this one:
Or please visit the official site for the movie here: Dolphin Tale
I am looking forward to hearing your responses!
