29 Aug Time to Step Up! Part 1

I was at my son’s school this morning – arrived at 6:45 — between that time and 7:30am – there were 4 fights and a lock-down — I didn’t blame the school nor the parents nor society…-

I blamed myself — I wondered if I as a man and a leader in the community had done enough to instill a better sense of communication and unity in the kids of this community.

There will always be conflicts – there will always be disagreements – there will always be disrespect — It is how you handle those that will determine success.

More importantly, this morning it showed me I need to step up – what good is having influence and favor if I only use it for my child.  #preachingtomyself  —

PS: Would love suggestions for creating a community school program?
