A bunch of his fans began telling him their inspiring stories, and Colton was good to his word about sharing. Sometimes he would write a comment on a Tweet, and other times he simply Retweeted. Take a look at this one about overcoming a physical injury to become a professional dancer:

One of Colton's Tweeps was super excited to get into the college of their choice:
Congrats bud!RT @likesefron: @coltonlhaynes Ok.... Today I recieve my college letter and I GOT IN! Isn't that awesome? I'm super happy.

There were a lot of different things to share. Colton's fans talked about overcoming self-harm, being a straight A student, getting a healthier lifestyle. All kinds of good stuff! One girl said her diagnosis of cerebral palsy had doctors say she would never walk or talk, but she played high school basketball and graduated from college. Another Tweep shared the fact that her dad has a camp for kids who are ventilator-dependent, and the camp lets them get out and have some fun.
After a flurry of retweeting, sharing and commenting, Colton finished up the inspire-a-thon by saying:
Thk you all for your inspiring stories and for making a positive change in the world, Have a great wknd! #daretoinspire
