I'm not sure if any of you have ever saw "The Gridiron Gang" with Dwayne Johnson, but if not and if your any kind of sports fan or even an educator, it's a good movie. It's about a juvenile detention center developing a football program in order to teach kids there are other options on the streets. Just wanted to mention this one thing.......
At the end of the movie they show segments of the real people (it's based on a true story) involved. Remember these are some "bad ass" kids in this place, but one kid goes on to explain the benefits he got from the program and the second chance it gave him with his mother. He said, "my mother hugs me and talks to me now".
Just this little statement says so much......
All kids want is a little bit of your time. A hug. A "I'm proud of you" moment.
It's like that song of Trace Adkins, "Youre gonna miss this". Make today count. They grow up so fast.
Just wanted to share that.
