Had an opportunity to hang out with some kiddos in a 4th/5th combo drama class today. There was a young man who had a pretty defined personal wall against what he thought was or wasn't socially acceptable for someone like him. When I was given the chance to talk to the kids I talked about my difficulties as a child to feel like I belonged to a group. When the activities started to happen again this young man participated in the same activity he wouldn't before. I'd like to think that part of the reason for that is because I showed him it was better to be a part of something rather than shut ourselves out of a group. #showup
