Now that I am also a college student, I have to become more disciplined in managing my time to balance school, Lions and family time. Of course, somewhere along the way, I will be forced to fit a full-time job somewhere in there as well. Just like the little engine said, "I think I can...I think I can". Well, I want to change that to, "I KNOW I CAN! I KNOW I CAN".
This week has started out a little strange for me. I haven't been feeling all too well the past couple of days. Last night I had to become involved in a neighbor's domestic dispute. A 7-year old child saw things she never should have had to see. In today's society, children have to grow up way too fast. Children should allowed to be children. I often hear parents' say that their children grow up too fast and where has all the time gone and it seems like just yesterday I was holding him in my arms.
You may be asking how this pertains to Lions...well here is my response. Children are our future. Today's Leos are tomorrow's Lions. If we instill the values and morals in our children today, maybe the future will seem brighter without hunger, homelessness, war, etc. Consider involving children in the volunteer activities you do. Let them see the positives in a world where there is so much negativity all around. Don't let them grow up too fast, but still hold true to the values that were taught at a young age.
Until next time...
