Our Youth Need What You Can Give
Each of us has something to give our world. And somebody out there needs what you have to give. Giving is not always a financial thing. Today one of the most valuable gifts we can give someone may be our time. Sharing with others stems from our inner being; it is giving of ourselves, our talents and our abilities. You have something somebody needs. It is the value of your own experiences. It is the gift of sharing your professional steps, your trials and your trails, with the youth of our communities.
You need only to make a deliberate and conscious choice to give at least one hour of your time, on a date or dates convenient to you, to speak at schools or youth groups about your career and the steps you took to get there, and Footsteps to Follow will do the rest.
"You can't be what you don't see. I didn't think about being a doctor. I didn't think about being a clerk in a store. I'd never seen a black clerk in a clothing store."
Dr. Joycelyn Elders,
Former US Surgeon General
