“You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.”
Kahil Gibran
I can honestly say that after just finishing my third week of Leadership Camp this summer and watching our staff volunteers, this quote truly spoke to me. To see high school and college students give up their summertime to show, teach and inspire leadership to 6th, 7th and 8th graders is inspiring. It reminded me that the greatest gift we give another is a piece of ourselves and our time.
We all have it to share and inspire the magic.

I have loved this book since I was a child…. it is also in the TACSC conference library. While I know the controversy souring this book, it always spoke to my heart and helped form me. Giving of ourselves is the greatest gift we can give.
Oh, so true! Perfectly said Stephanie!
