Yeah, I admit, I don’t get on that often. I try really hard to remember but forget until I get on FB (actually on my home CPU) and see your posts. I think I should set myself a weekly reminder to come here and read…maybe Friday afternoons at work, I think that would be a great time.

His stepdaughter is one of my friends on Facebook. I imagine that when she saw the posting she forwarded it to him.

I might have been able to read it if it were in spanish! Anyway, that’s awesome that he found you. How did he find you by the way?

You should have just wrote it in Spanish. Of course, then most of us wouldn’t be able to read it without a translator, but whatever. It would have been fun!

You always leave the best comments! “Do whatever you want, just make sure you do it well” shall be added to my list of good quotes to use.

Forgive my broken english. I spent all morning translating Spanish, and my brain is struggling with the gear-shift.

Wiley, I don’t know you but I salute you. Advice piece that I got is like that tandem part to your great words. Do whatever you want, just make sure you do it well. All pieced together, it’s just about all you need to know regarding academics and professions. Sweet.

Wow! I didn’t think you would actually see this, but I am glad you did. So yeah, I wasn’t so great at taking the advice when you were giving it, but I definitely understand the value of what you were trying to teach us now. Thank you so much for trying so hard to teach us all; I definitely learned a lot from you.

You must not read the blog very carefully, ’cause that is definitely not the first one that has gotten by. in fact, there is an entire post dedicated to cussing in YA literature.

I am glad that you have figured out what you want! That’s so much better than just going for what you think everyone else wants of you.

Rachel
I am now a retired person and am enjoying myself tremendously. Glad to hear that after 34 years as a teacher and athletic trainer someone actually listened and remembered something that I said. Not that anyone would actually do what a teacher suggests, but remembers after the fact, that the teacher really had the student’s best interest at heart.

Hope things are well with you and your family.

E-mail me if you want I am now able to tell things as they really are, or at least as they seem to me.

Thank you for the nice thoughts.

Wa-wa-wait….did I read a bad word? I must have read it wrong or it must have been a typo–I thought I saw the word “damn” in there somewhere.

Seriously though, he was right. I know that if I had gone to college right after graduation I would have gone for something I would have eventually regretted. Now that I have worked for 6 years and have had 2 kids, I know exactly what I want to do and it just happens to work best for my family too.
