Through RAGE, I've met a TON of awesome teens and had a blast doing it. Watching someone "get it" is incredible, but last weekend I saw something more powerful. Watching someone who "got it" become a leader, taking what they learned, now believe in wholeheartedly, and seeing them making the change they want to see in the world. That, to me, was magical. I can't express enough how proud I am to be a part of RAGE...and that no matter how big the campfire, no matter how many people surround it, singing louder does not equal singing in tune. great post Geno!

Week after week, I wonder if the time I spend with them is really making a difference in their lives. But I've come to realize that they just may not be getting the message in our meetings right away. But when they do, no matter how long it takes, the tears fill my eyes too.
