Today, the student council went shopping for over 40 kids and families that would not be able to have Christmas presents this year. What a humbling experience...shopping for clothing, toys, and gifts that you know will bring joy to someone who would otherwise go without. The kids were fantastic, the salespeople were helpful, and I am continually amazed at how much good there truly is in thise world, despite the bad stuff. I felt like today I was holding a star in my hands and then releasing it so that the world could see what I see when I look at these kids: Hope. Hope for a better world in the future. Hope for things to be different. Hope for less selfishness and more selflessness. What a great experience. Here is my star that I am holding: my students and their willingness to "be the change in the world"!
