Bill Mattis

Bill Mattis A Reflection I was touched by what he quoted “Never doubt that a small, group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has” by Margaret Mead really hit home to me. I am the granddaughter of a little, Italian firecracker who stood up for his rights against a large company and won. He taught me that if you believe in something no matter how big or small it is you should stand up and fight for it. Bill and his team are going up against the Federal Government because the believe in something that is wrong and want to stand up and fight for it. I admire that. I am in awe of their gumption to challenge the equity of the Federal Government and the distribution of funds. In listening to Bill speak I truly felt he has such a connection to the children and what was best for them. It appeared to me that his fight was purely for his children. I hope that, as a leader I will be able to stand up for what I feel is right and not worry about the consequences. So many things need to be changed, adjusted or abolished that in my lifetime as a leader I would like to conquer at least one.
