There are the things...

That need to make the news.

J-Mac's meaningful message for autism

Its an article from ESPN talking about J-Mac [Jason McElwain] and his amazing story of basketball. Not only is there an article, but there's a video that talks to his coach, dad, fellow teammates and of course J-Mac himself. Seriously. This is absolutely amazing. I cried during the video and I don't cry.

Why can't the news report on things like this in the world. There are so many amazing and wonderful things going in this world. Why is it that all of the bad things make the press? It depresses me.

This boy did nothing but play the sport he loves. His coach did nothing but give the kid a chance. Not only is there the amazing sense of accomplishment that J-Mac feels for scoring 20 points and making 6 three pointers at the end of the game. But it also provides hope for the autistic and the families of those who are autistic. If J-Mac can do this, then what's to say there isn't a place where other autistic people can't accel.

*Sigh*

That story made my day... actually.. my week.
