Tonight, Jim and I sat down to watch CNN Heroes, with Anderson Cooper and Christiane Amanpour. It's an awards show to honor those amazing people that are doing what they can to change the world. This includes a girl who helped reach her young, autistic cousin with music therapy. She assigned each letter of the alphabet to a key on the piano. It helped her cousin communicate in a way that she had never been able to before. She was only 16.
There's another boy from Seattle who has Leukemia and started a heroic effort to get minorities to start a bone marrow bank. I think he is 13.
There are so many amazing people in our society that don't get the acknowledgement that they should. It's people like these that make me want to be so much more than I am.
