Dear Sherri -

One day your students will be writing about you in their memoirs.

Keep up the great work. Teachers often have more influence on young people than even their parents. They are not so apt to rebel against a person who is a disinterested (but interested)
party!

Corinne,

I hope they keep coming, too. I still need a kick in the pants in the right direction now and then.

Now that I’m older, I hope I am that person for a few of my students. Some have such unrealistic expectations, and I hope that some of our talks help them come down to earth and look at what they really want. Not their parents, siblings or friends; them.

I know how you feel. Nobody DARED call me on Sunday when he was on.

Wonder who they will fit in there? Maybe several at first.

Dear Grace -

You are right. I was VERY LUCKY!

I am sure that there are many people who guided you to your success.

Angels come in all shapes and forms. They don’t have to be nuns to be “holy!”

Dear Karen (Karooch)

This is such an important point.

“How many nuns worked with Mother Therese. And who knows who they are.”

So many good people doing good work in the world that we never hear about.

Those nuns are still doing Mother Theresa’s work. We never get any follow up stories on them.”

Dear June -

I admire that you even wrote that story down. But, I am not surprised you got an A on it.

People connect to truth. They can see right through a phony story.

Thanks for telling us about it. What a tragedy to experience but perhaps someone who read it learned an important lesson.

Maybe that we have to regard every day as precious.

Dear Sherri -

Thank you for taking the time to tell us your amazing story. It could be a whole article on your own blog.

This statement sums up the whole story of my life too -

“I believe that at some point, the right person comes into our lives at a critical time to help us change our direction and put us on the right path.”

Let’s hope they keep coming!

Like everything else in the media Corinne, the nuns who do good stuff (unless they’re Mother Therese) don’t make good stories.

How many nuns worked with Mother Therese. And who knows who they are.

Nuns like every other group in society, include the good, the bad and the ugly.

You are quite right about writing about life’s experiences. the only A I received in my college English class was about the day I witnessed the death of my dearest friend in N.Y.C. I started it with the beginning of the day, taking the train to NYC and then recounted every event leading up to her collapse and being taken by ambulance to the hospital and then being pronounced dead.
