Great speech. It was great that the students had the chance to hear firsthand the ups and downs of journalism from a Journalist who is the best at it. And then hear about what began as just another column which turned into a life changing experience for not only the subject matter (Nathaniel) but for the person writing about the subject (Mr. Lopez). How powerful, the story gave the students a since of hope and encouragement to go find the story. "Back to Basics" Thank you for sharing your heart and your passion. God bless Steve! Reply to this

I miss your columns in the Inquirer so much.
