Today, I am traveling to Las Vegas with my husband - he is on a business trip and I decided to join as my grade school friend is coming to Las Vegas from Hawaii and I can meet my high school friend who lives in Las Vegas.
As I look through the SPIRIT magazine provided for the customers on the flight, I get to an article on "No Cussing Club." What is a No Cussing Club? I learn from the article that this young student decided that he got sick of kids cussing so he challenged them to stop. WOW, So, I went on-line to that site to learn more...
Well, here is the story. A young guy name McKay Hatch got sick of the "dirty mouth" other students had. Basically, he heard cussing from his friends and peers; using dirty words primarily to sound cool, right? According to McKay, they probably had no idea how they sounded or meant. So, he challenged them to stop. They were startled as they did not know it bothered McKay. However, THEY STOPPED. So, McKay challenged to them the No Cussing Challenge. Some did not know how to change themselves, hence the club started.
Now there are NCC - the No Cussing Club through many part of the United States now.
McKay, a junior high, 14 year old student in South Pasadena, CA., started this vision in 2007. WOW, what a vision. We can certainly learn from him. To change our society to become better, we just need to be determined like him. I am just taken by him.
Is it not fascinating to know that one member of the community, young or old, can contribute to making the world a better place for everyone? I like you to check his site out. Don't you think we can learn a few from this guy McKay?
