I was selected by my school to attend Maine Youth Leadership, which is a four-day seminar surrounding three key terms of leadership, volunteerism, and character. During my experience, Kathy Leighton, one of the seminar’s tri-chairs told the story of a man named John who influenced the life of a boy who was terminally ill and was hospitalized. The boys name was Nathan, and he loved things regarding magic and magicians. So, John with his many passions, came in and put on a show for Nathan unknowingly that he would pass away eight hours later. One of the tricks involved a 7 of hearts playing card that Nathan had written his name on. That experience impacted Nathan and his family in such a positive way, giving them a break from the tragedy of Nathan’s illness. This inspires me to want to impact the lives of many, and I hope that one day a 7 of hearts playing card returns to Nathan’s family because of how John impacted them.
