Reflective paper:

Kyambadde Stone was a famous, highly talented, foot ball player but due to an incident on the field he was left unable to play anymore. He began to teach a group of children how to play, what we call soccer, football and give them a place where they can be themselves and feel no judgement. Many of these children come from homes with very little lessons being taught so Stone created an area where they can learn valuable lesions such as: practice and hard work. His undying love for the children gave them everything that they needed to be good citizens. And with Stones help that is what they became, they became hard workers, they learned to forgive and forget, they learned how to work.

Stone's lesson was taught among a small group of people, but it spread to a largesse group like wild fire. The lesson being that you have to work hard to achieve. He taught them how to forgive people, with the amazing amount of crime that is committed in their community he taught them not to follow that path. This wonderful life lesson could not have come at a better time, he gave these kids hope. Hope they needed to survive.

When I think about this video, I find myself wondering what would happen if there were more people like Stone in the world. Instead of the lethargic people that we come into contact with in our lives. With Stone spreading his fantastic lessons to his community and living them everyday he made a fantastic difference in the world he lives in. So what would happen if someone with their own impacting lessons came into our lives? They could make wonderful things happen, so someone has to stand up. The world around us is changing, and not for the better. Maybe if each of us had a roll model like Stone we would all be better off.
