The wonderful and frustrating part about reporting/writing

It's always so incredibly inspiring to meet people truly dedicated to community work. Take Jose Gil, for instance: a father, a teacher, a coach, a mentor. There's only so much real estate in the newspaper to write about him, and all the people who have been touched by him.

Fortunately, now we have the web. We can expand and expound, post photos and videos and sound. Here, I share a photo shared by Ruben Pizarro, proud father of Marco Pizarro-Silva, sitting behind and to the immediate right to Michael Jordan. Marco was one of the 40 students from Gil Basketball Academy who participated a few weeks ago in Jordan's "Flight School". Seeing Jordan up close is like a dream come true for these students. And to take their photo! Nathan Magana, sitting behind and to the left of Jordan, is also a member of GBA.
