A Thought

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "Do not go where the path my lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."

As producer of "In Focus" this past semester, the stories of students that have caught my eye have indeed been those who have sought out their own paths, students who chose the road less traveled by. They are students with a passion to do the seemingly impossible, students dedicated to providing hope when before none existed, and most of all, students who never gave up forging their way into the unknown.

The students spotlighted this semester in my show have all been inspired to go the extra mile. They created paths where there were none, and now, the way has been opened for those who would follow. Some of these students have already been met with rousing success, while others' quiet faith is ever hopeful for the success of those they are serving. Krochet Kids, Shaun Blaylock and the Jeremiah Project, and Tom Riggs' 305 hit are just a few of the many examples out there. Their dedication and heart for their work is an inspiration.
