On this Episode of the Horse Connection Clay McCullar and Travis Hawkins interviewed Miss Dericka Vaughn about her success during this years Stock show Season. Dericka Vaughn is the third generation from her family to show Lambs at the major stock shows in Fort Worth, San Angelo, San Antonio, Houston, and Austin. This year Dericka had over 15 show lambs that she worked with throughout the year to be able to have a top prospect for each show and judge at those competitions.  Stock shows are very competitive and take a great deal of time and dedication to be able to compete against all the other participants and their animals. The reward is well worth the time and investment for those who are dedicated to working with their animals on their showmanship in and out of the ring. Texas Stock shows contribute big money towards students scholarships funds and are a big deal to be involved in if you live in Texas. Thank you to the Vaughn Family for coming on the show to visit with Clay and Travis about the struggles and success that you live for each and every year!

Our Subject for today’s podcast falls on the heels of the latest school shooting. In Wylie ISD, we have a standard that every student have at least one positive relationship with an adult as a method of engaging kids and deterring acts of violence. Most students who commit these acts are isolated individuals without connection or support. By engaging our kids with kindness, caring and love will give them the hope and happiness necessary to thrive in a positive way. In Wylie, we actually measure student/teacher relationships 3 times per year to identify and help those who feel isolated. Our focus today is to learn about the value of caring, kindness and engagement and reflect on one parent’s experience of losing a child to an incident like what happened in Florida. Darrell Scott, parent of Rachel Scott and is the founder of Rachel’s Challenge. Rachel was a victim of the Columbine School Shooting in 1999. In Rachel’s diary, she wrote "I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion, then it will start a chain reaction of the same. People will never know how far a little kindness can go." Darrell’s life has been dedicated to Rachel’s Challenge to bring kindness and caring to the world in a chain reaction that has touched over 5,000,000 lives.
