When I was young, Robert Francis Kennedy was the junior US Senator from New York State, where I was growing up. I remember him saying “There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why? I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?” Those words had a profound impact on me.
Robert Kennedy's life was cut short by a bullet, but he had already gotten my attention. I don't know how many lives he touched; we never know such things. I do know that ever since I have been trying to not only get involved and make a difference in the world, but to motivate others to participate too. I really believe that it was Senator Kennedy who inspired me.
We may not all be inspired by a Kennedy, but we all can give back to this world of ours. It isn't important that we give in a certain way - the important thing is that we just do it!
