Sing from the Heart
In June of 2024, the television show America’s Got Talent featured a middle school custodian from Indiana named Richard Goodall.
This post on YouTube from the show tells the story of that appearance. As you watch it, think both about how you feel and how they want you to feel.
Try making a list of things you noticed in the story. Does anything make you think in a new way about someone you know?
The comedian Robin Williams once said something close to, “Everyone you meet carries a burden you know nothing about. Be kind always.” Does this story help you understand that quote in some way?
