Whenever I'm disappointed with my spot in my life, I stop and think about little
Jamie Scott. Jamie was trying out for a part in a school play. His mother told
me that he'd set his heart on being in it, though she feared he would not be
chosen. On the day the parts were awarded, I went with her to collect him after
school. Jamie rushed up to her, eyes shining with pride and excitement. "Guess
what Mom," he shouted, and then said those words that will remain a lesson to
me:
"I've been chosen to clap and cheer."
