Athletes from all over the world were competing in the most amazing sports. Just then his grandmother walked into the room. “I want to be extreme. Would you really let me do that? You always worry about my safety!” said Jason.“You will have to follow some rules,” said his grandmother. “You can only ride in the park---never on the streets. You have to promise to wear a helmet. If you hurt yourself too much, I have the right to take your skateboard away. Is it a deal?”“You bet!” Jason was so excited that he jumped off the sofa. A week later he had a board and a helmet.On Saturday, his grandmother dropped him off near the park. He was happy to have a grandmother who let him try new things.Kids in the park were moving quickly up and down the ramps. They flew into the air and landed as easily as birds. When he watched the X games, Jason felt like he was doing the tricks himself. But watching these kids up close, he knew that none of it was going to be easy. He felt a little bit scared.Very slowly he carried his board to the ramp. Taking a deep breath, he put his right foot on the board. He kickedoff with his left foot. For a few seconds he glided along, just waiting to fall. Then he came to a stop. Kicking off again, he waited for the worst to happen. Again, he stayed up. The third time he kicked, lost his balance, and fell hard on his left knee.It hurt, but it was no big deal! Why had he been so scared? Now he felt calm because things had gone wrong, and he was fine!Next time, he kicked off harder and went fast and farther. “Excellent!” said a girl as she passedhim. “Extreme!” laughed Jason to himself. “Not quite.”56.

Like many teenagers of her generation, she became devoted to the idea of peace while being against the war in Vietnam when young.In late 1991, Bobby Muller, president of the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation, called Williams to see if she was interested in working together to ban landmines worldwide. She was glad to make use of the opportunity to persuade non-governmental organizations to support this worthwhile idea. Millions of landmines remain buried in the ground in countries around the world long after the wars in which they were used have ended.In October 1992, the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) was formally set up. The ICBL called for an end to the use, production, and trade of landmines. As the campaign’s leader, Williams wrote and spoke widely on the landmine problem and the need for a total ban.Together with Shawn Roberts, she wrote a book that described the hidden costs of landmine use, such as the long-term effects of landmines. The landmines mean that people cannot travel or work safely. Land goes unused, causing unemployment and poverty. There is also the huge cost of treating landmine victims.Their efforts were rewarded in 1996, when a meeting hosted by the Canadian government agreed to write out an international treaty banning landmines. In December 1997, the treaty was signed, with the support of 122 countries. In five years, Jody Williams and the ICBL have achieved their goal of introducing a landmine ban. The Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee awarded Williams and the ICBL the Nobel Peace Prize in the same year.To date, more than 156 countries have signed the landmine ban treaty.60.

He smiled in his sleep, and I wondered what could be funny to a one-year-old baby. I could sense the safety he felt. However, my home life is completely different from the scene that greets me each morning at work. As a lawyer at Eastlake Juvenile Court, I always see kids that society has labeled the worst of the worst, the “thief”, the “robber”, the list goes on. But they are still children. As I sit across from them, I have a chance to talk to them about their lives, their homes, and their dreams. I sit through tears, I sit through anger, but mostly I sit through hurt. I see their parents, most of whom sit in the hallways day after day wanting to take their kids home. I also see mothers and fathers that come to the court ready to walk away from their children forever. Each day I see hope destroyed. Every day when I go home, I hold my children tightly in my arms and say “I love you” over and over again. I live in two worlds, one of promise, one of tragedy. No matter what they are accused of, what crimes they have carried out and what society thinks of them, they are our children and our future.64.
