We live on a rather quiet street in Trenton. There are also a lot of kids with not much room to play other than in the street. There's a young high school student that really deserves a shout out. Just about every day this fine young man is outside teaching the smaller kids how to shoot a basketball and how to play football. He gives a lot of time to the younger ones helping them learn and sharpen their skills. They're getting pretty good too. Right now 5 or 6 of them are playing football.
The good kids, like this high school student, are the ones that belong on the front page of the newspaper. One day I thanked him for what he does with the smaller children and his humility was an inspiration. The good kids far outnumber the bad but seldom get the recognition they're due.
