so cool - must have been awesome for them! young people deserve so much love and encouragement to know that what they do matters to the people around them. with the negativity bias of news and the general shitstorm we've baked on earth, it can be very hard for young people to keep hope alive and take the small steps forward that build into something beautiful and real. They're are lucky to have a teacher like you illustrating the magic of a simple step 🥏

Yes, starting small is so important! So is maintaining the discipline to keep it up consistently, and the more grounded and realistic the aim, the more likely it won't be aborted once challenges pile up. Most importantly, even very small successes over a long time lead to positive impact no matter what. I guess this is something that doesn't get emphasized enough; I wish it were!
