Stalwart

Saturday, December 29th, 2012

I’m amazed at my students whose lives and families and homes took major hits from Hurricane Sandy (and lest I forget the economic failures also stalking their lives and their families and neighbors) but who, nevertheless, pulled their own weight, didn’t whine or moan, were stalwart and made contributions to their communities and to others and showed compassion.

Truly amazed.

Wednesday, December 19th, 2012
