Amazing

OK, if you are on the internet at all you've probably seen Susan Boyle from Britain's Got Talent. If you live under a rock, you have to watch her here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OcQ9A-5noM
So many people judge my kids at school based on their appearance. They sometimes look like gangbangers, sure, but there is so much more. I have kids who have a genuine shot at careers in medicine, sports, even acting. This clip made me bawl like a baby thinking about this woman who has been judged based on her appearance for her whole life. She was even ridiculed as she was walking out onto the stage! She kept her head up, though. I pray that my kids have as much strength as her and fight for a future, no matter what they are told.
