Cranston, Rhode Island (CNN) -- At a young age, Nicholas Lowinger learned not to take things for granted.

He was 5 years old and visiting a homeless shelter with his mother, who works in various shelters across Rhode Island. He was excited for the opportunity to show off his new light-up sneakers to the rest of the kids. But his mom cautioned him against doing so, explaining that these children might not have such luxuries.

With all the crap the media throws at us about gangs, kids with guns, etc this is what we need to see more of. There are a lot of good kids out there and we should hear about them as well as help them.
