Whenever I'm disappointed with my spot

in life, I stop and think about little Jamie Scott.



Jamie was trying out for a part in the

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.'
