Photo, Caption, and Citation #3
The photograph to the left is of Lem Villemin, a highly talented professional skateboarder. He was born in Thailand but has now become a well known skateboarder. I chose this photo because it shows that even people who don't have much can make it big. Lem "was living in a rural village in Thailand with rice patties and only 500 people," says Josh Brooks. This relates to my topic because it reveals that people should not profile skateboarders. Lem Villemin is a prime example of this. He came from nothing, as many others do, and became a successful individual. My point is that others don't know where or what someone else came from, and therefore should not be so quick to judge. When my friends and I go skate public street spots, we're immediately profiled by an ever so large number of people.
