Here are two young people who are acting and living in loving ways, every day, even as they navigate their packed grade 12 schedules, maintaining their grades and expectations, high involvement in their extra-curricular activities and of course, their relationships with friends and family. I talk to them about how they manage all of this, where they learned this ethic from and WHY they give all of this time to the service and love of others.
We talk about their extra-curricular activities and what they learn from them, what skills they will take from these into their adult lives, what they learned when designing and leading their own after school programs for younger students, what tools do they use when they feel overwhelmed by society's issues and their own stresses, the importance of "voice" and what they want folks to know about teens.
Please join us for this inspiring, humbling conversation.
