When we were
told Bob was coming to speak to us I was expecting the usual talk, dry, boring
and with scary pictures, yippee. To my pleasant surprise, I was wrong. Bob was
nothing even close to boring; he was one of the best speakers I have ever heard
in my entire life. He was such and inspirational person to both my classmates
and me. It was truly amazing to hear his story and listen to him talk about his
life. Bob
wasn't sad or depressed, or at least he didn't show it., he believed that he
almost got HIV for a purpose to spread the news to young people like me and help
stop
HIV/AIDS. For 22 years, Bob has been
living with HIV, and if he can do that, I think
his message will enable people to make smarter decisions.

"I
view my disease as a gift. It
has forced me one day at a time
to stay present and be willing
to change
and grow. I
will win as far as feeling like
I did right in this life. That
I made a difference in my own
life and in the lives of others."

I
liked Bob's
presentation. I thought
it was very informative
and I liked how
honest Mr. Bowers was
about his personal life
and how he grew up. I
also liked how he told
us that you can get out
of any situation. The
whole "Don't judge a
book by its cover"
really applied to him. I
liked how he put his
problems in a funny way
and made us all laugh
(as well as him) at his
problems, rather than
being all "poor me."
It's so cool to see how
he has survived and that
he is willing to teach
and inform students
rather than feeling
sorry for himself.
