Show Up for Others

He believed in me.

He spent countless of hours before and after class teaching me how to speak English.

There were times when I wanted to shred the textbook to pieces.

There were times when things about the English language made no sense.

There were times when I lost belief in myself.

He continued to believe that the best was yet to come.

He showed up everyday with ways to improve the circumstances from the day before.

He showed up everyday with a level of optimism I’ve never seen before.

He showed up everyday when others may have chosen to move on.

Had it not been for people like Rick Hall, I may not be who I am today.

Sometimes, life truly is this simple.

Choosing to believe in other people.

Choosing to show up for them regardless of the circumstances.

It is my hope that you have people who show up for you in your life.

It is my hope that you are someone who shows up for others.
