Last night, I had an experience I never want to forget. One of my students- a guy in his 30's with at least one kid that I have met, came to me and said he wanted to be a psychologist.
This is a guy who just got his GED three months ago and since then has made Honor Roll in my class and was Student of the Month in June.
Why the late start?
Because, when he was younger people told him he was not "college material".
What the heck?
Where do people get off saying things like that?
That is what I love about my students at this particular school.
They not only beat the odds- they are doing it with full time jobs, families and coming to class four nights a week sometimes until 10:30.
Me?
I am just along for the ride.
I impart whatever knowledge they need for this journey and correct their quizzes.
I am in awe of every last one of them.
