-L’ Chaim- Continued from page 14. him. Still amazed with Josh’s dedica tion, 1 asked him what motivates him? He proudly but modestly answered, “I’m a sergeant major.” He explained that in his newsletter called Mishioch, he earns points for doing mitzvas. “When I do a good deed, I get a point. I think giving tzedaka is very important." When I asked Josh if he has any advice for other kids, he imme diately said, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Don’t tease or be mean to people, because one day it could happen to vou.” Josh, like most kids, has also given a lot of thought to what he wants to be when he grows up. At the top of his list is a writer or electrician. Josh, who has a read ing disability, has worked hard in this area. His favorite stories in clude Isaac Singer’s “Eastern Euro pean Stories.” In fact, he wrote to Isaac Singer, his favorite author, and received a reply of which he is very proud. Cissy added, “Josh’s volunteer work has really streng thened his self-concept. He’s so appreciated and welcomed. It really makes him feel good to be himself. I he minute I finished our inter view, up popped Josh, since he knew it was lunchtime and the res- identswould need him. Hequickly disappeared into the elevator and was off looking for a job where he could help. I know for sure all the “grown ups" who have been recognized in this column will agree that Josh Cohen is certainly deserving. While only I I years old his ability and dedication to helping and giving to others puts him light years ahead of himself. Just as Josh says that he “learns a lot" from the residents at the Home, so can we learn from Josh. 1 hanks to Josh, our 5-year- old son Justin wants to go and help there too when he’s old enough. Justin thinks what this “big boy” named Josh does is really neat. Of course, so do we and isn't it nice to know we have our own “super kids” like Josh who are ready and able to help as well as set an exam ple for us all to follow. So, to Josh we say L’Chaim...it’s kids like him that perpetuate the notion that “you’re never too old or too young” to make a difference and Josh Cohen surelv does!
