This week the Wall Street Journal features a volunteer from Texas who is definitely passing the torch to the young people she works with. Pat Rosenburg is one of the inspirational asset-builders I had the opportunity to interview for my book.
After her two daughters left for college, this longtime volunteer in the Houston public schools found new purpose in mentoring a teenager who was on his way to a life of crime in his tough inner-city neighborhood. This five-minute video is a perfect illustration of an adult passing the torch in a big way, and is well-worth the watch.
