"You are the stars and the world is watching you. By your presence you send a message to every village, every city, every nation. A message of hope. A message of victory. The right to play on every field? You have earned it. The right to study in any school? You have earned it. The right to hold a job? You have earned it. The right to be anyone's neighbor? You have earned it."
--Eunice Kennedy Shriver at the 1987 Special Olympic World Games

Do something good for the world today, folks. It's not as hard as it seems. Sometimes simply treating someone with kindness can change their whole day, and it doesn't take but a second of your time. Let's all try to make the world just a little bit better today, and honor the legacy of the remarkable Eunice Kennedy Shriver.
