The 40 Developmental Assets

At Bayshore tonight, several presenters spoke on the impact of the 40 Developmental Assets in their lives at the BCM Family & Volunteer Workshop [Taller Familiar]. Karla, Calvin, Isabella & Chava shared the impact of community, family, programs & individuals in helping them to overcome many obstacles in their lives and to be able to dream big and do great things in their lives. Many parents, volunteers and Junior Staff were present with the BCM Directors and staff for an informative overview of the Search Institute's 40 Developmental Assets. Obvious by all the contributions was the reality that none of us can make it alone. As the old addage says, "You know one thing when you see a turtle on top of a fencepost... it didn't get there by itself!" Thanks to everyone who made the evening wonderful! [especially Tina & Xitlali who made the Award Winning Pozole! [Wikipedia]] Looking forward to the next 'Taller Familiar'! I hope they invite me to present again.
