Dear God . . . Is it possible for me to study at the university when I grow up?
It's more than possible, Nelson, it's probable!! As bright a young man as you are — I see great things taking place in your life — now and in the future! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. Children need people who love them, believe in them, and affirm their lives. It helps them dare to dream of what they might become. But they need your vote of confidence. Show a child in your world that they matter. Be positive, encouraging, friendly and patient. Put yourself in places where children hang out — where you can be an influence. There's a plaque that reads: "There are spaces between our fingers so that a child's fingers can fill them in!" This is Wess Stafford. Let a child hear you. Speak up with compassion!
