Reminds me of Randy Pausch, but this kid got it when he was 18.
Me? I was a scared 18yr old kid with everything in front of me, but scared of everything.

What a fantastic, brave young man and what an honour that Haka was for him. In order to be brave one must first be afraid, his school mates saw that and honoured him for it. In extremis he has dug deep and found the best of himself. He deserves to live. I was not of that mettle at 18.
