A Boy Like You

There are billions and
billions
and billions
of people in the world.
But you are the Only YOU there is!

And the world needs a boy like you.

The world needs a boy…
to be kind and helpful.
To be smart and strong.
Maybe your “strong” is making sure everyone has a chance to play. Maybe your “smart” is knowing the precisely right, perfect pass to make.

Oh boy, be you. The YOU that makes you feel most alive.

Play hard, but play fair. Be a great teammate.
Say “Nice goal!” and “Good try!” Don’t say “You throw like a girl.” Ever.

And, remember, there’s so much more than sports….

There are vegetable gardens to grow. And flowers to give.

There are cakes to bake. (And eat, too!)

There are instruments to play and songs to sing.

There are stories to read and stories to write.

There are science experiments to do. And math problems to solve.

Oh boy, be curious.
