a post that should have been two weeks ago...

This past week has been an amazing week for me. I continue to realize how many good people there are in the world, genuinely good people who want nothing more than to help others. While this week has seemed to fly by, the people in my life haven't gone unnoticed.

An amazing man I got to meet this week was Dr. Elison. We didn't spend more than a mere 45 minutes together on Tuesday, but from the time spent in his office, I know he a very good man. He knew my name and wanted to know anything and everything I would tell him. I felt love and care in his office. Dr. E's kindness, generosity and love for people emanated throughout him, the employees, and his actions. I am so grateful to you, Dr. Elison, for fixing my broken retainer but more so for being an example of Christ like love. I hardly know anything about him, but what I do know is this. Dr. Elison you are a good man who brought me to tears with your kindness. Thanks.

I have been struggling with my history class this semester. I find no motivation to do homework for this class and always put it at the bottom of my to do list. I had pretty much given up all hope, I had even quit going to class (Yes not like me at all!) But then the superhero of the day sent me an email. Brother Coates. (This is the second time you have made my blog, the first time I was saying how I didn't enjoy your homework to much, but NOW I have nothing more than wonderful things to say.) I can't say that I particularly enjoy your homework now, but I have discovered a little summin' summin' about you. You, my good sir, care. You want nothing more than success for your students are willing to do everything in your power to help them get there. When I had given up all hope on your History 300 class your simple 3 sentence email showed me that you care.Thanks for that, and for meeting with me every time I show up at your office door. I deserve a good bop on the head!
