woo hoo! she totally rocked that!
Holy crap in a hat- she’s so right on. Man, we could learn a TON from our children. Convicting and convincing.
Great video! Thanks for posting it on Facebook!
she’s pretty impressive
Not gonna lie. I want to be her. She has got to be the most dynamic speaker I have heard under the age of 20. Maybe even 25.
I am speechless……all I can muster up to say is thanks for posting that!!
Yep.
Wow! Lovin’ this. I love her humor, honesty and dreams. May we all _listen_ deeply to these holy creatures we get the privilege to walk alongside!
WOW!!! i had to listen to it twice…the first time i was just blown away hearing a 12 yo communicate effective and concise sentences. I guess that is what she meant by raising the bar!
this is freaking amazing!
Wow. There’s a lot to be said about “nurturing” the younger generation(s). Notice I said nurture…not shelter…or pressure…or hover-over. Wow. This really makes me think about my role, not only as Youth Worker, but also as Parent. Definitely re-posting this…
The goal is to make kids better adults than you have been, not adults just like you. That is the wisest, smartest thing I have ever heard
