Thing 9 - United Streaming Video

There have been two streaming video presentations in our teachers' meetings. I think they were both from U-Tube. Both made you want to cry. One had to do with the presenter's "hero" who was an African-American Basketball coach who rescued a young girl who was trying to remember the words to the Star Spangled Banner. The other was on Canada's Talent Show and involved a rather largely unattractive young man who was a cell phone salesman and acted a little shy and spoke to his interest in opera singing. The judges were all but laughing until he belted out the song he came to sing. He was phenomenal and a good reminder that what we see (in our students and their interests and talents) isn't necessarily what we get and not to be close minded.
