[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As adults, what you have done and what impacts you have made? these are still kids. I admire them even if they start thinking these issues while others are playing games.[/quote] Agree. As a prof. at GW, I have come to realize that "fake it til you make it" is a valid and meaningful way to being kind and sensitive to the poor and to people who are otherwise different from you. While a lot of these kids (and me too!) may start doing service projects or advocating for social causes for the "wrong" reasons (for credit, for their CVs, annual reports at work), the large majority come out changed for the better and with some real knowledge of the way others live. These are kids. Give them credit for trying. In a lot of cases, I have realized they are doing much better than I am. [/quote]
