Many people believe to change the world they have to be a CEO, win the Nobel Peace Prize, or travel overseas to serve. But Petersen's story shows that anyone can change the world by investing in and loving one person. Scott Wichman, my track coach, who was a factory worker by day, decided to mentor me when many other people in my community said I was going to end up as a foster care statistic, homeless, on drugs, or in prison.
My coach showed up everyday and gave me what he had -• his belief in me and his coaching. With his training I went from never going to state in track, to beating the defending state champion, and becoming a four time state champion in track and field. Then my track coach took me into his family and welcomed me into his home.
His daily sacrifice to show up changed the trajectory of my life and allowed me to become a part of three percent of foster youth to graduate college.
We all have the power to impact the lives of those around us simply by showing up and offering what we have. "
