Most adults don't learn that till after college when they read the book.

But the concepts in that book, you can teach a second grader.

Everybody gets it.

She gets all the kids together and she's like, we're going to run a 5K.

Who thinks that's impossible?

Every kid's like, okay, that's totally impossible.

I can't do that.

Miss Faye.

And then she goes out to the track and she's like, I've signed you guys all this in August.

I signed you up for the jingle 5k at the domain Christmas.

We're going to run it.

Here we go.

She's like, but day one, we're just going to walk the track and all the kids walk the 5k.

And she's like, okay, so we've established everybody's going to finish the race.

And then the next time they go out, they run a quarter lap, walk the rest, half lap.

And they incrementally do it so that by December, these kids are able to run the 5K in 35 minutes.

You look at the finish line and the parents, the kids are crying.

So awesome.

And back to the life skill that you taught.

It's not just the heart.
