"Canning often relays a story he was told about a young man who made a difference in his high school setting.
“A friend of his was in the locker room and saying something awful about a girl. This kid thought to himself, ‘Okay, this is my moment. This is the time I need to say something,’” said Canning. “And instead of being confrontational, all he did was go up to this boy and say, ‘You know man, I think you’re a lot better than that.’”
Canning said the young man was surprised by the reaction.
“After a moment, the other boy said, ‘You know what? You’re right.’”
