RE: Sports, Education... and Hope.
You're warming my heart and warming peoples' lives. "Hope is the thing with feathers" remains one of my favorite lines of poetry, and for some reason, your post brought that to mind.
Thanks man. By far the best thing about my job is getting to be a tiny part of these big moments in my students' lives. In this case, just being an audience for her retelling of the event was a blessing. I am really lucky to be surrounded by examples of strength, perseverance and kindness everyday. It gives me Hope for this world.
I'm glad it made you think of Dikinson's poem. It's a powerful one. Thank you for reminding me of it.
