I hope your new year is off to a good start. Seems to be rough for some. The losses of music icon David Bowie and actor Alan Rickman, who have both touched the hearts, minds, and souls of many, made for a melancholy week. I spoke to students about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. this week, and am reminded that he was only 39 when he physically left our sides, but his spirit remains strong these many years later. Dr. King would have been 87 years old yesterday, January 15. Here is one lovely tribute to his efforts and his memory. Reach out and touch a heart this weekend in his honor.

I've seen many documentaries about Martin Luther King Jr. and I find them so interesting. How he stood up for all African Americans is really cool. I could never be as brave as he was. I still find his death really sad and I continue to look up to his bravery.

Martin Luther King Jr. is someone who I find very interesting and inspiring. He was the one that was able to stand tall and be brave when most thought that the destination was not worth the difficult journey. I personally do not believe that I would ever be able to accomplish what he was able to in the short amount of time that he was with the world. His accomplishments continue to inspire us and keep us going throughout our lives. His choices influence us in a way that have shaped us all to be the people that we are today.
