A Model Teen
Ever since the time of Aristotle, adults have lamented about the inadequacies of the upcoming generation. These young people are characterized as “lazy, incompetent, and disrespectful”. Their music is “distasteful” and their morals “reprehensible”. No doubt in some cases this general prototype holds true. Happily there are many exceptions.
During the past year it has been my honor to be the confirmation sponsor for a young lady who defies the description above. As I learned to know her better, I found she is a young woman with the strength and courage to stand up for her convictions even when peer pressure is leaning, or should I say, pushing in another direction. She is well grounded in her faith and brings that message to others by simply being herself- a joyful and self-confident young lady who has no need to win the approval of others by engaging in questionable behavior.
The formation of this teenager obviously did not occur in a vacuum. My “hats off” to her parents who have brought her to this point with a strong faith and a mature perspective on what is important in life.
