I accept your challenge;

for compassion,

for respect,

for kindness,

and most importantly,

for LOVE.

You changed my life,

You changed my school,

You changed my community,

You changed our state,

You changed our country,

You changed our world.

Your words breathe into the

hearts and minds of everyone,

brave enough to hear your story.

Your words encourage those to

finally speak up for themselves,

and those around them.

Your words dare us to dream

the impossible, and reach for it,

no matter what others say.

Your words challenge people

from all walks of life to be;

to live, to smile, to appreciate.

The Challenge; Your Challenge;

I accept it.

I treasure it.

I, now, live by it.
