The teachers in America need to be applauded every day because they save the lives of kids!
My life changed in a huge way. Mentally, I've been preparing for it for over a year now. To me, it's bigger than that. For me, it shows a lot of people that you need to fight to be in your kids' lives sometimes. You fight until you can't fight any more. That's all I was trying to be, a father in his kids' lives.
Access to sports is an important part of a well-rounded education, and it takes committed communities and companies like Dick's to make a real difference in kids' lives.
I coach soccer, and my wife and I are very involved in our kids' lives. Our family is busy with doctor appointments, soccer practice, school, work, travel, vacation... life.
When I think about it, I do start to worry about this whole social media thing. It does make me uncomfortable; kids should be out, living their lives, getting out and enjoying themselves.
It's not fair that kids feel like they have to be naturally gifted at math and science, but with, it's often pushed to the side. It doesn't make any sense to me why it shouldn't be a big part of kids' lives.
Fire has impacted every part of our lives - without fire, there would be no shopping, right? - that's how the Internet will intrude on our lives, particularly our kids' lives.
We hope the stories of the 14 kids in 'American High' provide something for many people to relate to.
I wish parents at the end would think a little bit about how everything we do affects the lives of our kids and defines who they're going to be.
