After watching the video, ask yourself these questions:

What advice was given to Rick’s dad, Dick, concerning the limitations of his son?
If Dick had taken that advice, what would be the reality for Rick and what message would he have received?
What did Rick tell his Dad after the first 5k they ran together?
What do you think Rick experienced in that race that made him feel that way?
Compare yourself to Rick. How are you different? How are you the same?
Compare yourself to his Dad, Rick. How are you the same? How are you different?

The theme of the video was TOGETHER. Dick was the body, Rick was the heart.

So I am asking my students, what does it mean, to matter? What are ways you can consciously, intentionally provide the experience Rick has when he is running with his Dad to others you are blessed to have in your life? What are ways others can relate to you that would send the message to you that YOU MATTER?
