Specific Example
Both everyday people and celebrities put time and effort into
their community to make it a better place for their own
children. For instance, shortly after the school shooting
tragedy in Connecticut, JJ Watt discovered that some Sandy
Hook Elementary students came to Houstons Reliant Stadium.
He welcomed the out-of-town visitors onto the field after the
game to throw the ball and pass on signed memorabilia to
them. The NFL star displayed sympathy and encouragement in
his hometown community. This news spread across TV
programs and papers so that one day his children may even
read about the kind man JJ Watt was in his Houston area.
