Making a Difference

"What will be your gift to the world?" That is the question I asked more than 60 students in my math classes this week. The question was unexpected but the students responded with heartfelt interest. Gifts included serving in the Peace Corps, helping others, creating inspiring music, teaching youth, healing athletes, and showing compassion. I was impressed by the altruistic visions of these young adults. In a world with so much hate and war, it is enlightening to catch a glimpse of love and peace.
