Wanted: role models
Think young and influential. These days, it's likely to be visions of Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Michael Vick dancing in our heads.
But these troubled young stars are no role models; surely few among us would wish their bad behavior on anyone, let alone other youths.
So it makes you wonder: Who are today's young role models? Who are the young people out there among us quietly leading by example?
It's not a rhetorical question. If you know of a person, ages 15 to 25, making a real difference in the world around them, we would like to know about them for possible inclusion in an upcoming story.
Whether it's in the fields of sports, education, the arts or any other endeavor, do you know someone in our communities whom you would label a "role model" for youths?
