Another reason I now love high school kids . . .

After the YEA conference I went to my little boy's preschool Christmas program and afterwards took my little girl to get some ice cream at a local ice cream shop. As I was walking in a group of high school kids were walking out - and as luck would have it two of the girls were at the conference earlier that morning. (How wild is that!) She stopped me and told me how much she liked the conference and how some of the things I said in the panel inspired her. I almost started crying on the spot. What a cool opportunity to make a difference or leave a small bit of inspiration with someone who is in the depth of developing their perspectives on life and their aspirations for their future. It made me stop to think about how cool it really is to be a teacher-- I always thought I'd never want to be a high school teacher-- but they have got a huge opportunity and responsibility to leave their students better than when they started -- Scary -- but AMAZING!

It just goes to show you that no good deed goes unpunished. Thanks again for taking the time to help our young entrepreneurs learn what it takes to be successful. BTW, where was my ice cream?
