Just minutes ago, our ambassadors witnessed a very special, staff-directed program called Sticks and Stones. This segment addresses the bullying issue that has plagued our schools and young people's hearts. "Words are used to build a person up or break a person down," stated a staff performer, "Open up to be the change you want to see." As the performers then recalled personal experiences with bullying, ambassadors all over the room connected to a grand movement, a movement to end discrimination and to lead their peers into ways of kindness and tolerance. Ambassador Jon-Michael Person says he feels more aware of other people while Natalie Ferguson claims, "We need to be the ones to make a difference, not the next person." Their fellow ambassador, Prawal Sharma, said, "It was an eye-opening experience. It enlightened me in a way that surpasses spiritual cognition." Being one of the many pivotal points in our program, Sticks and Stones has certainly done its job— pushing a generation of profound minds to a greater potential.
