The First Step

“To bring about change, you must not be afraid to take the first step. We will fail when we fail to try.” — Rosa Parks

Many years ago I voluteered in a kindergarten classroom. I still remember how inspired the children were by the story of Rosa Parks. They all knew the story and could tell it. Her example of dignity and peaceful protest inspired them to be the best they could be even when faced with racism and bigotry. Ms Parks was a wayshower for those young children as an example of non violent protest. We never know who is watching us as we go through life and how it may influence them. Let us live as wayshowers shining our light out into the world.
