I made my way to a local park to search for a child when I ran into a few former students of mine. As I continued my search, a young man suddenly began quoting a mantra I coined some years ago. As I heard the very familiar refrain and that from a deep voice, I quickly turned my head and recognized a face I hadn't seen in several years!!
It felt good that this kid, now a young man at Lincoln University is in college!
It felt good that he remembered "the motto!"
It felt good that he thought enough of his former teacher, who had a one track mind, to get my attention by attempting to hide behind another former student and reciting "the motto"!
It's the little things that make my remaining here, despite.......stuff.....worth it!!!!!!
