Real World Rewards
by Terri King on Aug.18, 2008, under Uncategorized
Last week I had the pleasure of being the keynote speaker at a one-day workshop for aging out foster kids called ”Real World Day”. When foster children, who aren’t adopted, turn 18 they are literally on their own in life. I had 5-10 minutes to give them tips from my experience for making it in the real world.
I tell you what. Facing 15-18 year olds is scary, but it was one of the most rewarding things I have done in some time.
Look for an opportunity this week to share some good advice from your own life experiences with someone coming up behind you. We don’t know what kind of positive impact it might really have and you are bound to be rewarded for it in your own heart.
We really do need each other.
