For those of you who don’t recognize the airborne dock-jumper, it’s my seven-year-old son. He and his sister get a lot of press on this blog.
To celebrate my new site, I’m happy to announce the Pass the Torch Award.
The general premise on Pass the Torch is: “If we believe youth are our future, we’re procrastinating.”
I’d love to read your posts about hopeful, empowered, responsible young people. Whether they’re four or fourteen, young people have a lot more to offer to the world than we sometimes give them credit.
You’ve witnessed this in kids. There are all kinds of examples out there – the 10-year-old that raises $1,000 in a Relay-for-Life, the Junior Girl Scout that assists in the Brownie Troop, or the soccer nut that helps out at tournaments. But if you’d like more simple inspiration, try a few of my archived posts:
