We train and teach the children of our society. We encourage them, we place before them noble and motivating examples.We want them to step forward, to take these encouragements and inspirations seriously and take up the challenges set before them. We look for our youth to achieve. So, When they step forward, How do we respond?
When our society's children and youth do noble things, when they make sacrifices, when they show not only promise but actually accomplish well today, How do we honor them? What do we do to show them that they have done well. How do we show that we are amazed and impressed?
We are quick to wring our hands when young people perform atrociously and disappoint us! We also need to be quick to salute, to cheer, to celebrate and honor them for being willing to be active and improving a world they are still relatively new to!
