Today as we go about our business, we should all take a little time to recognize all the children that cross our path. Some of them will go home to great environments, but many of them won’t. There is no greater investment other than the ones we invest in our children. I’m not just referring to our own children, but also the ones that make up our community. There are thousands of children that would do a lot better in life if someone would just give them some appropriate attention. It happened that way for me. During my teenage years, one man thought enough of me to pay me some attention. One summer he picked me up five days a week to take me to the high school gym where he coached. As a result,I became an All State Basketball Player and went on to have a good career in college as well. I am now an Author and a teacher. With no father at home, who knows where I would have ended up if he would not have payed me that attention. Invest in your community and future by giving some time and attention to a kid.
