Taking Nothing for Granted: Mathias' National Anthem.

I dropped by the National Anthem tryouts for the local minor league baseball team. Looking for a story about people singing and why. And then I heard Mathias. He didn't sing that well, he even missed a few words, but it was his passion in belting out the sometimes tough ballad. I could just tell he was just genuinely glad to be there…and here…in America. And, there was much more to the story. Mathias came to America four years ago from Uganda, East Africa. A place he says where just walking on the street can be extremely dangerous and going to school is a privilege not a right. He's amazingly grateful. A smile in his voice and a hunger to learn and take in everything America has to offer, Mathias offering up a little something for all of us in the form of perspective.
