On Saturday, I got invited to present a lecture and workshop to the Boys and Girls Club of Lorain County Ohio. Had a good time. A lot of kids were interested in what Rodger and I had to talk about,but there was a large group that wasn't. All of the adults loved the presentations. It was a good feeling to see a lot of the kids walking around with our promo, but Rodger and I were still concerned about the kids who cared more about what their friends thought versus what a lot of the presentors had to say. A lot fo the speakers talked about taking pride in yourself, staying away from negative situations and using education to improve your future. A lot of the kids were from bad neighborhoods and broken families, it made me wonder what their futures were. Many thought they would become famous or athletes. Definately makes you want to volunteer more to help kids realize the unlimited posibilities the future holds. The funny part of the day was all the kids walking around calling me Reggie Miller or Mr. Kitchen all day! Most thought I was Reggie Miller when I walked in and couldn't believe "Kitchen" is really my last name.
