Dear God . . . I want to be a lawyer and fight for the poor in my country!
You're awesome, young friend! What an excellent champion you'll be for the poor in your country. Perhaps even the head of your country! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. Educators are heroes as far as I'm concerned. Those of you who teach and nurture children have an impact that will last the rest of a child's life. Most of us remember a teacher who encouraged, nurtured and inspired us to be the very best when we were young. Author John Steinbeck said: "It's the nature of man to rise to greatness if greatness is expected of him." The Psalmist said it even better. "Train up a child in the way he should go and he will not depart from it!" This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with compassion to a child in your world!
