A Basketball Hero
I realize that this particular journal entry has nothing to do with Guatemala, human rights, photography or any of the usual themes of my website.
But I just finished watching a video from the CBS Evening News that was so over-the top exciting, astounding, and inspiring that I had to share it with you.
It is the story of Jason McElwain, a High School basketball team student manager with autism, who finally gets his chance to shine! (I won't go into any more detail, because I don't want to ruin the ending.)

Just click on the "Download File" button (it's ok, it's perfectly safe) and then select "Save to Disk".
Trust me, you'll want to watch this beautiful story more than once!
