RE: The Kid From the children's home who taught me the true meaning of "strength"... and how to choose a name for my son (featuring @hanshotfirst as author)
It is always uplifting to see someone overcome so much and persevere based on the strength of their character. A lot of people make excuses about why they aren't as successful as they would like to be and this really helps to put into perspective what sort of real issues you can overcome if you are dedicated to bettering yourself.
Exactly. I always share this story with my students. Its not as powerful as meeting Timmy, but sometimes it helps to put their complaints in perspective. Kids can do amazing things!
