He's been planning this since he was 14 - but tonight - 3 months before his 18th birthday, he FINALLY gets it! I'm proud of him because HE did it, we didn't do it! He found names, HE made calls, the only thing we did was ask how it was coming along and what he was doing next...and then "did you do it?" and of course, we helped volunteer on the project, but from what I've seen/heard from friends & others, mostly the parents look up a project, they're the contact, they look up phone numbers, and dial the phone for their sons, they write the script of what to say when their sons are on the phone with various people, but my baby boy, he did it ALL. Glad it's over...now 3 years before the next one will be ready - then 3 more years before he decides he'll think about doing it - and then, just before his birthday, he'll finish it, too! :D - hopefully not, but I'm glad to say Rossi did it himself! *THAT* is initiative and *THAT* is leadership :D
