March 20th is Mr. Fred Rogers Day!!! Ok, if you don't know who Mr. Rogers is then you lived under a rock your entire life and you missed out on one of the greatest TV shows for kids in HISTORY!!! Besides the TV show though Mr. Rogers was and still is considered an amazing man - he advocated for many causes and won numerous medals and awards. His TV show though was what captivated us all. A man that was always nice, had amazing friends and neighbors and was always teaching you something new and different. Let's not forget the land of make believe and the puppets . I learned a lot from this show growing up and honestly all kids and adults a like should still be watching today because it seems everyone has forgotten how to act and how things should be. Mr. Rogers was literally the go to nice guy. Me personally, my love of music and theatre partially came from the Mr. Rogers show because I would always wait for them to do a play special - those were always my favorites . Anyways, this man definitely was a blessing to the world and deserves to be remembered and never forgotten. Thank you Mr. Rogers for all of your contributions and inspiration!

“When I say it's you I like, I'm talking about that part of you that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive. Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war, and justice that proves more powerful than greed.” - Fred Rogers
