We are back to our Community Wall experience.
How can a few (dozen) cans of chalkboard paint and some chalk create such a
powerful experience of community? I guess it is really it is the actual sharing
of thoughts and hearts.
I was taking in the chalk the second day on my
way to class when a student ran up to me in a hurry and asked if he could have
some chalk to write. I stopped and he got some chalk and ran over to the wall.
When he ran back to me and put the chalk back, he said “Now I feel like I
belong at Highland.” I can’t add anything to that.
To the student who took the time and effort to share, thank you. Welcome
to our community, where you do belong!
This is why I teach!
