Life saving first aid. . Shawn Goldsmith is the most highly decorated an eagle scout can be. The 18-year- old has earned every single merit badge there is , all 121 of them. The everyday with something different, and these are skills that I would remember for the rest of my life. It took Shawn 5 years to get the first half of their merit badges, the rest less than 5 months. He did it for his zealing grandmother.

She's like, "Shaw, why don t we both follow with this? You really, you already half way there, and I really think you can do it. Everyone thought I couldn’t do it. So, That most time. . . she always believed me.

Sadly, his grandmother passed away when Shawn was just 18 badges shy of reaching the extraordinary. His grandfather then made of his mission to see shawn succeed, with / help from scoutmaster Joe Acquafreddaat a troop 240 in the Bronx, who at first was skeptical. I said Mr. A , you said if you can see it, you can be it . so then he was , he couldn't say no. Shawn reached his goal last month, while a freshman in Binghamton University where he's a business major with a love for politics. In high school he interned for Senato Charles Sehumer and a couple of days ago met one of his icons, Mary Michael Bloomberg, a businessman and fellow Eagle scout.

And it’s no surprise that Shawn one day wants to go into politics and take with him the public office the skills and expertise he learnt in scouts, mainly honesty and integrity. I see how great politicians , how they fall so easily. These, one lie and they get caught doing it. So not only is morally correct, which is one of the parts of scout law and oaths , to be morally shame. It s worth it in the long run. you have my vote, Shawn. Rob Royer, Picks News at ten.

童子军获得所有可能的奖章

生命急救……Shawn Goldsmith或许是最出色的童子军。这个18岁的男孩获得了每一个单项奖章，总共121枚。每一天都是不同的，在我的余生我会一直怀念这些技能。Shawn用了五年的时间来获得其中的一半奖章，而剩下的一半则用了不到五个月。他做这些都是为了他充满热情的祖母。

她总是说，“Shawn，我们两个为什么不都追求这些呢？你已经成功了一半了，我认为你一定能做到。每个人都认为我做不到。所以，大部分时间，她都相信我。”

不幸的是，在他仅仅获得18枚奖章，远远没有达到最高水平时，他的祖母就去世了。之后，他的祖父将亲眼目睹shawn成功作为自己的使命，他向Bronx的童子军领队Joe Acquafreddaat寻求帮助，Joe Acquafreddaat最开始表示怀疑。我说，Acquafreddaat先生，如果你亲眼看到的话，你就会帮忙的。然后他就答应了，他不能拒绝。Shawn上个月完成了目标，同时，他成为Binghamton大学一名商务专业的新生。读高中时他曾经在Senato Charles Sehumer实习，几天前见到了他的偶像，Mary Michael Bloomberg，他是一名商人，同时也是Eagle童子军的一员。

Shawn会入主政治，会在政坛中应用在童子军中学到的技能和专业，而其中最主要的就是诚实和正直。我看到很多政治家败落，因为他们被人们抓到撒谎。所以，不但从道德上讲是正确的，这是童子军法律和誓言的一部分。长期来看是值得的。我会为你投票的，Shawn。
