More

As I look at this photo of my sons, I can’t help but wonder what the future holds for them. Growing up in the 80′s, kids were pumped full of self esteem and set loose on the world. We were told that if we worked hard enough we could accomplish anything and pursue any career we wanted. Will my boys have that same sense of empowerment when they graduate? Probably not. They are going to have to accomplish more, volunteer more, learn more and prove more, just to get into a decent college. That’s a whole lot of MORE. And not only do they have to be MORE, they need to be excellent human beings at the same time! That last part shouldn’t be too hard though, they are both well on their way to becoming excellent human beings. I just want the world to open up to my boys, so that they can dream and achieve MORE than they ever thought was possible. Is that to much to ask?
