Kevin

Just finished reading We Need to Talk about Kevin by Lionel Shriver. Somehow I liked the story even though it was very depressing. While it is fiction, I'm sure there are similar true stories. A mother tells the story of her teenage son who killed students and a teacher at his high school.

I have always liked to believe that every baby born has something good inside. With a positive environment and enough nurture, every child has the potential for greatness. We are each special, wonderful people who can make the world a better place.

The boy in the story was angry right out of the womb. He seemed doomed from the start. So, I guess I need to admit that there may be some lost causes.

That won't stop me on my mission, which is to help people feel their light. I still believe most of us are special and wonderful and have something to offer the world. That goes for everyone reading this!
