Cast a Vote and Change a Life
Everywhere you turn there are advertisements for back-to-school sales, and the parents I know with school-aged kids are lamenting a summer gone too quickly as well as looking forward to getting back into the school routine. And the truth is, even though my own school years are well past me, I do miss the smell of sharpened pencils around this time.
But all this talk and focus on school brings a pang as well. Working with the LIFE Foundation has great rewards, but it also brings some sadness as well. Each year we go through well over a thousand applications to the LIFE Lessons Scholarship Program, and read heart-breaking stories of young men and women whose college dreams have been put on hold because of the death of a parent or caregiver who had inadequate or no life insurance.
