Careful the things you say . . .

. . . children will listen.

So goes a wonderful song by Stephen Sondheim. And I got some proof of that truth over the weekend. A former student found me online and relayed that somehow, things I had said or done had given her self-confidence in junior high. I have no idea what I did.

The same is true for me and you now. Things you say and do are affecting people in ways you do not know, and perhaps never will.

Although you are not perfect, you often do affect young people in positive ways. Good job.  Keep it up!
