Much can be said for the ability to read faces and facial expressions. What is it about the human face that can take us from anger to joy with just the curl of a lip or the raising of a brow? Here is a young gentleman who faced a split class, fraught with racial tensions among all of the normal stresses of being a high school senior, and yet he found a way to use his talents to bring people together, even if only temporarily.
Take one and a half minutes to watch this video.
Now for some questions:
- Would you agree that Phillip's talent extends beyond drawing? What other strengths does he exhibit?
- How would you respond to a classmates personal gift such as this?
- Phillip gave up much of his free time for weeks. Why?
- Do you have a talent that can be used to bring people together? Explain.
- Did Phillip make a difference?
- Do you think any of the other students ever bullied Phillip in the past? Do you think he ever made fun of any of them? Does this change things?
- Do stories like this inspire viewers to be better people? To treat each other better?
