Chapter 19. Impact

by Guy Vander Jagt

Some moments will stay with us forever. Taken collectively, these moments of learning and joy are the fabric of our culture.

Johnny's father gave 6-year-old Johnny a jigsaw puzzle map of the United States for Christmas. He explained to Johnny, “I am going to mix up the pieces, and it's going to be hard for you to put them together because you've never studied geography. When you get stuck, just bring me the puzzle and I'll help you get started again. If you stay with it, in a few months, I guarantee you will have the jigsaw puzzle map finished, and you will have learned a lot about the United States.”
