I haven’t had a presentation that touched me as deeply as this, well thought out, keeping one’s rapt attention, ending in SO loving a “greeting”-it made me cry. I’ve taught school 17 yrs, retired. I’ve volunteered teaching art. Since I’ve gotten older I keep telling myself, “ I have no life left”….but after hearing this, maybe I DO. Thank you, Sir.
This was an amazing presentation. I can say that I have had the opportunity to work with and meet with the speaker! This is his authentic self...selfless acts of kindness!
Great message. I found a group that helps a lot with gangs in Fresno, CA Hope Now for Youth. Also help groups in our communities like Communities in Schools and help a kid before they get in a gang.
loved this. it is indeed in our hand. our duty, to deal with our small circle. one people at a time. one conversation when you look someone in the eye & show em you care. i especially liked the part about reaching in, identifying why you started to disconnect & later letting your voice be heard. in fact, it's easy to say "oh these kids are lost, they don't know nuthin about nuthin blabla no one helped me" but we fail to realize it's actually are jobs to teach them, & set em on the right path. now we are not talking about an abusive violent controlling "help" which is what may drive em into isolation or gang activities whatever you want to call it. bunch of hurt kids looking for trouble. we're talking about support, acknowledgement, information, compassion. just time, & patience. and intent. a fair intent to do good, within our own scope, within our small ability to affect change. thanks again.
Well said my friend…. There’s some people who will just never understand the issues that are involved and some can be fixed probabaly very easily, or at least impact that youth, we just need more volunteers. I’m actually looking to find a way to help out myself
Man the teacher story really brought some memories back, he’s not lying lol I remember seeing my elementary school teacher at the party store buying bottle water and I couldn’t believe people would buy bottled water lol this was probabaly 88 or 89 but anyways it was unreal to me to see her out of her element…. And bottled water what the heck when did we really start with the bottled water anyway 😂
