On my last trip to Peru I met an interesting high school senior named Nathan. Nathan is more focused than most people his age. He was already taking college classes his senior year of high school. He had a good idea of what he was going to study and what his path was going to be after school.
I had the chance to catch up with Nathan right before Thanksgiving as he was helping out at a retreat Brad and I were speaking at. When I asked how college and his big plan was going he said, “Actually I am still living at home going to a community college because I have started an organization.”
His story went something like this…He had always wanted to be a Big Brother. Once he was finally old enough he found out he lived too far away to qualify to be a big brother. Most people would have just thrown their hands up in the air in disgust and moved on. Not Nathan. He did something about it. And what he did wasn’t small.
He did this: Granparents and Grandkids
