It was a
no-brainer; it was easy to help. I told the
coach because she needed something specific,
athletic-related, and because I was able to
help, I was more than willing to do so. Others
can donate whatever, like canned goods (which
is important), but who do you know KNOWS that
you work where you work for a reason, at the
right place at the right time?

Gary, one girl
got problems with her student visa and customs
and such. She was just thankful to be in
America even though she lost EVERYTHING. The
coach told me another only had flip-flops. Can
you imagine that? Another was fixing to go
back to her home country, but her mom said
America offers her hope; therefore she should
stay. All but one are freshman; they're just
kids and they have to grow up so fast. Did you
(I ask this in the general-sense, not specific)
ever face any trials like this when you were
18? How could I say no to them?

Well, I wanted
to let you know personally how easy it is to
make an impact on others when all it took was
NOT throw money at the problem and hope it
doesn't go away, but just creatively and
thoughtfully impacting others. Gary, these
girls could still use help, so let me know...

Sincerely,

Jason

Okay, I know this is a short newsletter but
I had to get it out fast because... believe it or not...
I've got a big day ahead of me. You know what I get to do
today?

I Get To Go Have A Root Canal Done!

One last thing, this is my second newsletter
of this week. The first one went on this website yesterday
was about the "Gary Halbert Seal Of Approval". Don't be a
dummy, make sure you've read both these issues.
