Jon Parsons...I hope I spell his name correctly because he's important. (It is, I found him on Linkedin)
Not because he introduced himself to me Saturday night at the volleyball regional in Corydon.
Not because he told me he remembered when I was the head coach at Henryville and he was a student at Lanesville.
Not because he said he's followed my blog and twitter since waaaay back.
But because he's a high school athletic trainer who helps student-athletes when they are injured or hurt.
But because after our 15 minutes conversation I can tell he's someone who obviously has grown and continues to change for the better.
And because he's willing to volunteer to reach out of his comfort zone to help others.
And finally, because he made me feel good about myself and helped me to understand that we can all have an effect on someone even if we don't understand at the moment, or if we don't even know them.
Thanks John for all you do.
