Paola told me she shared this tiny house with her mother and sister. There was no electricity. No running water. Yet, Paola had worked hard enough to finish high school, had received a college degree, and was now working on her teacher certification.
I was amazed. How could a young woman achieve so much with so little technology at her disposal? Clearly, she was inspired. She loved her teachers. She loved the Lord. And she wanted to learn.
Then I thought back to my own child. I imagined the heights he could achieve if only he had such inspiration. More than technology, it would likely be the key to his success as well.
Surely inspiration is something we should wish upon all children – and we should nurture it wherever it is found!
