Letter to the editor,
Statesman Journal
Thank you for the June 12 article, "Portland teen raises money for Cambodian school," about Christina Schmidt and her brother, Andrew, and their humanitarian fund raising.
I was so impressed that a 15-year-old has so much foresight to conquer a goal that will impact the quality of life for so many people.
"Three thumbs up" to Christina and Andrew. Kudos to Dr. and Mrs. Schmidt in raising two fine children who are not self-serving but in fact are serving the needs of others. If we had more children with even one-tenth of what these two have accomplished, then school budget cuts would never be an issue and government would never dictate school standards because government would never meet the quality and expectations these two children expect of one another.
I could confidently say the children are our future if we had more children like Christina and Andrew. I wish the 2010 graduating high school classes would read the article, as they are about to embark upon a class called "Life" (where 101 no longer exists).
