This is a lovely example of making a difference in a very non-splashy but profound way. It provides much to ponder. I am looking forward to hearing about your further work in this area. This article gave me a new tool too...to ask myself the question "What are you doing every day to be a better....?" when I find myself wishing or wanting. Congratulations to Jeremy Riffle and his team at Triton, as well, for taking this "live" every day. Thank you so much, John.

Providing a future story at least sets a vision - then adult mentors can help young people re-establish the terrain and work on skills to navigate the journey.

It's like asking the right questions - or giving the right props - at the right time. Don't we all wish we could help people like that - in the right time, and in the right way? Great Peyton example - sometimes we want things without wanting to put in the effort to do those things. Thank you, S. John,
