On Thursday, Michael sent me this video about Joe Burrow. You might remember his Heisman acceptance speech. He spoke of poverty and food insecurity in his home town in Athens county. He made an impact in only 31 seconds! She said that when she watched it she was reminded of how we all keep striving to spread love and kindness to our kids at JW.
Michael's text to me that accompanied the video said "We each have a platform to make a difference, to contribute to society. We may not have a microphone and a stage that reaches the entire country in 31 seconds, BUT, relationship by relationship, kind act after kind act, and the desire to be a shining light WILL spread and impact a greater population than you can imagine. Do not be inactive because you don't have a platform...you absolutely have a platform on some scale to use!" I know our work isn't easy, but don't forget that we have an important platform to use to make the lives of our kids so much better!
