We all want to make a difference, and to know that we have ‘mattered’. In fact, that would be one of the most worthy objective in our being here. That is why we are all mesmerized and fascinated with super heroes , because they do things we can’t do in making that difference. When my 12 year old son approached me, and said that the school was asking them to write an essay about an experience in which they have made that difference, he told me that his life, so far, has been ordinary, and he did not have much to write about.

I sat down with him, and discussed with him what areas he has done a great job in his still relatively short life, and the result is this essay he wrote. I am proud of what he had written, and am posting it here. Your comments are welcome!
