A Hopeful Story

Quaker Dave posted a beautiful story about two middle school girls, whom he observed as a teacher at their school. He called it a Ray of Light, which is an apt description for such a hopeful episode at a middle school. There was a moment of connection, compassion, and acceptance between two girls quite different from each other--at a time when the slightest difference makes all the difference to teenagers in making friends or even talking (or not speaking) to someone.

I appreciate this story of hope: Ray of Light. Stop by Quaker Dave's and read it.

Wasn't that a great post? I think he has a spectacular blog. There was a post just one or two before that about kids protesting uniforms by wearing buttons with brownshirts on them. Excellent also!
