There is nothing more powerful than when kids really “get
it.” They start to realize that there is more to life than just
themselves. They realize that they can positively impact someone else’s
life. They want to. That is growing up the right way.
There are no short supply of sports stories like this one,
but I NEVER get tired of watching them. In fact, I love that there are so
many like it. That means it isn’t rare that our kids truly care for
others. That today’s youth are doomed like we might believe in some media
circles.
We have the chance to help foster this for students.
We have the ability and means to help them see themselves are participants in
making positive change in the world. I recently heard that we can’t
really change the world…we can’t really change the nation…we can’t really
change the city or any organization or institution. We can, however,
change ourselves in meaningful ways that affects others. That in turn
spreads like wild fire as one person affects another and so on….
I hope this week you see the good in these kids…you inspire
them to make changes that can affect the world around them.
Happy Monday!
