On this month's August cover of Latino Lubbock Magazine, we feature a chalk drawing as students anticipate their first steps back to school and create their own plan. Among buying school supplies and new clothes were new tennis shoes. I always liked purchasing that pair that would go with me on my many journeys and provide comfort as I took each step in my young days. I recall one child not having shoe laces on his old tennis shoes on the first day of school. Incidentally, as I looked at an old class photo recently, the way he positioned his feet demonstrated his embarrassment. As such, I urge that if you're able, please consider helping out a child in need buy buying them a pair of shoes or supporting an organization that provides shoes to children in need. Your act may make all the difference in the steps they take in life. With that, good luck to all the students. Happy Back to school! ¡Y feliz regreso a clases!
