More than 17,000 Dallas Independent School District  employees gathered at American Airlines Center in August. The event was the Believe/Achieve Back-To-School Kickoff.

The keynote speaker was Charles Rice Learning Center fifth-grader Dalton Sherman.

Speaking on behalf of all young people, he reminds us:

I believe in me.  Do you believe in me?

Here’s the deal: I can do anything; be anything; create anything; dream anything; become anything;

Dalton reminds us to believe in young people, our colleagues, and ourselves.  Of course, we believe in the Source as well.  I believe in you God; help me in my unbelief.
