Catalyst

Catalyst was grown from the lines drawn by the amazing kids from the Lanier cluster schools on May 13th, 2017

A catalyst, the prime agent of any change, can be the cause of something great or it could set in motion a chain of events that lead toward destruction.

As humans, we are typically adverse to change. While we understand that this change could be good for us, we often are reluctant to take the steps to get out of our comfort zone and start the process.

That is where a catalyst comes in and forces us to take action. At first we are scared, angry and do all we can to oppose the change. And sometimes, the catalyst is a blatant threat to our way of life. But even with this threat, a new hope and a renewed sense of purpose could emerge.

In the current attack on a world where we are beginning to understand the importance to live and work as one community no matter what race, religion or origin of birth, there is a catalyst that is trying to redirect our progress.

Our youth will emerge as the caring, purpose-driven leaders we all wish to be, not because they are smarter or better but because of the catalyst that has allowed them to take the action we have been reluctant to take ourselves.
