I think that story is very inspiring and gives us a sense of hope that some kids do realize the importance of following God, education, and servicing their community. I hope the parents that were questioning his past and the criteria for election will realize that there are more kids that mess up like he did than there are students who get a perfect 1600 on their SAT's. The fact that his peers voted for him, and saw him for what he represented and not his past really says a lot.
