iamvalc: I’ve certainly lucked out when I got a chance to come and meet these incredible young people. seeing the grow in the last two years, being able to share some awesome memories together, I won’t lie I was holding back tears watching these kids graduate today. There’s nothing like seeing a young person committed. Committed to their academics, to making their communities better. holding themselves accountable at every step knowing that their actions matter! Knowing their worth and never taking it for granted. For Giving it their all in order to keep the promises they most importantly made to themselves… to strive for excellence and humility in all that they do. #kippsscholar #graduation #walkthewalk
iamvalc: and lastly, to this incredible woman and everything she stands for. for reaching out to me. again. and again… and again, until I replied and found the time to come visit and speak at her school. she believed in her kids and was willing to do whatever it took to bring out the best in them, even if it meant having “that guy from that dance show your mother loves” come and talk to them. I did just that. And fell in absolute love. I am so very grateful that you slid into my DMs and didn’t settle for “delivered” but kept at it until it was “read.” 
all jokes aside, you’re a testament to the simple yet grand idea that.. You don’t have to have much to share a whole lot. All you need is desire and follow thru. To all the school teachers, care takers, people that dedicate themselves to seek and realize greatness in others. For being selfless and viciously persistent about it. You inspire me and you’re the real heroes. #walkthewalk
