I asked some students at our home who were some profs who inspired them. One of them was Bruce. I emailed him and after 2 weeks we met for 5 minutes during his very busy office hours. Here he shares a ‘Classroom Moment’ in his career:
A 4 page article, ‘The Promise’ by Charles Wright Mills prompted a new direction in his studies and his life, and continues to influence his teaching. Each day in class he shows the beauty of the shades of gray in life.
I went to my cycle shop and bought a light with a USB charger in it. The owner thanked me for writing a positive YELP review earlier.
My feeling around this transaction totally changed when I decided to not go along with poor service, or lack of empathy.
A talk with two special friends
On the bus ride downtown this afternoon bus was crowded. After standing up part of the way I worked my way near the back of the bus and saw a pack on a seat between two 30ish men. I asked if I could have it on my lap and sit down. They agreed and introduced themselves.. Joe and James.. good friends with some developmental challenges. Very friendly and willing to engage. I asked them what it takes to engage with strangers. James thought about it and then said, ” Practice.”
They shared a story of someone asking them for money quite aggressively and being able to not get taken. It was a lovely TravelerInYourOwnTown experience.
