When you watch a movie like "The Blind Side", it's easy to think of that as an isolated event. But the reality of the matter is that stories like that, of kids being taken out of tough situations and given a second chance, happen all around us every day. I hope that these stories inspire more of us to stop being part of the group that stands on the sidelines and complains about "those kids", and rather gets involved in programs like Family Gateway and AVID to start being part of the solution.
