Day 24- You're favorite movie and what its about

Oh wow...favorite movies. Can I have one for each genre? I guess if I had to pick one at this point in time, and would be "Pay It Forward." This coming off of a great summer, complete with an awesome week at camp where our youth really grasped on to this concept and want to start implementing it.

The movie "Pay It Forward" is about a 3rd grade boy who is given an assignment by his teacher. "Think of something to change the world, and put it into action." One kid in the class comes up with the idea to have everyone in China jump at the same time. No one takes the task seriously. Except Trevor. He comes up with the concept of "pay it forward." If someone does something nice for you, instead of "paying them back" find 3 people that need help, and "pay it forward." And then those 3 people will help 3 people, and so on and so on.

No one believes that Trevor's project will catch on. While he is attempting to change the world, we also get to see what his home life is like, being raised by a single mother. We also get to know his teacher, Eugene Simonet. Even the people closest to Trevor doubt that his idea will take off.

This movie is a typical "Inspire-me-to-do-better-things" film, but the concept is interesting if you think about it. Our youth are going to take this concept and see what we can come up with. And even if you don't pay it forward to three people, even if you help someone else will make a difference.
