When I grow up, I want to be...

A wrestler!

Walking down the street the other day, I looked to my right and saw a group of boys (10 yrs old or so) hopping backwards in a line with no shirts on. I laughed as my mind flashed back to an ad that's currently running on repeat for the upcoming wrestling matches. These are not the kind of heroes I was hoping for in my previous blog post. But it was pretty funny to watch these 10 yr old 60 lbs. boys work out as if they were 23 yr old 250 lbs. guys.

Heroes

This found scrawled on my Cubs desk calendar:

Senegal needs heroes. Kids don't have anyone to look up to, especially on a national level. The community's importance over the individual prevents people from wanting to be different. Being exemplary needs to become socially acceptable in order for this country to move forward.
