Sometimes I ask myself why I'm doing this... I wonder if anything I say stays with anyone beyond the time it takes for the echo of my words to fade from their mind... Without fail, when I reach the end of my resolve, someone is placed in my path to remind me it matters. Last week, a student from N Meck HS lingered after the end of class... He asked me if I was at a junior tennis tournament last fall (I was). He said he remembered me from then...and he still has the bracelet I gave him. It's sitting in his bathroom...
It mattered to him...
