Hairy, Audacious GOALS
Alex Bass, a 16-year-old high school

reluctant to discuss. He attended 13 different schools
before ninth grade; his mother is in prison. In fifth grade
Alex saw something that changed his life. An ROTC color guard
was raising the flag at his school. Alex wanted to be part of
that. He has set some high goals for himself that include
entering the Military Academy at West Point and becoming a
career military officer. He relentlessly pursues his goals and
is an excellent example of the payoffs associated with goal
setting and determination.

Understanding Islam: Another
Facet of Diversity
What is Islam? What do Muslims really believe? In this very
informative interview Amjed Baghdadi tells how he was born and raised
in the US in a family not given to religious teachings. When he was 15
years old, his father began to study their Muslim faith. Amjed,
instead, began to study the Bible. In time, he, too, returned to
the faith of his ancestors. His devotion to his faith does not
diminish his love of country, the USA.

Hurdling over Obstacles
Can you imagine competing in a sporting event and having your "leg" end
up three feet ahead of you? Would you have the presence of mind to make
light of it? John Register saw it happen to an amputee who was wearing a
prosthesis, and he was inspired to compete in track and field events
wearing an artificial leg, a prosthesis. John was in the US Army, running
hurdles in 1994 when he injured his knee so badly that his leg had to be
amputated. A veteran of Desert Shield and Desert Storm, he tells us that
most injuries to service members occur outside of a combat theater.
John talks about that winning feeling, being on top of the game, and he
talks about near despair when he can't reach his child who is playing on a
swing set on a sandy playground. He emphasizes the importance of faith,
family, and friendships in helping us get over obstacles. He credits his
wife, Anita, with giving him strength to move on when she told him, "We'll
get through this together." Click here to listen
"Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path
and leave a trail." --Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Ricky Flores grew up in a housing project. "We were in every government assistance program available," he says. In the ninth grade, he looked at
his surroundings and said to himself, "Lord, there's got to be more to
life than this."
Ricky found the way out through education, hard work, and focus. He set
his sights high. He now has a master's degree and is making history in
San Antonio (Texas) Independent School District. He leads an
award-winning music program with 297 students in Irving Middle School,
grades 6 to 8.
In September 2006, Ricky's' band was one of six in the nation to receive
a National Wind Band Honors Award. "They were really amazing — and I've
listened to good bands for 30 years," said Rick Yancey, director of the
national project.
