I have been teaching at colleges all my adult life. For a few years now, I have been worried about the future of this country based on what I see in my students. Seems like there has been little concern for social consciousness. For years, it seems, all of them were only interested in how much money they could make after graduation. But, in the last few years something seems to have changed. A good example is my last class in humanities foundations at Western Michigan Univ. My evening group was a stellar bunch! They over-achieved on every assignment. Two standouts stepped forward to offer help to CW4W. Curt Fitzpatrick is a guy with a heart bigger than his body. he has more design skilled than anyone I have ever met, and he does it in what seems to be an effortless manner. He has helped design our new Pamphlet, letters to potential donors and other stuff in a blink of an eye. Hey has more talent and skill than anyone I have ever met!
Another one is a very pretty gal, Ashley Rolfe. She is a very creative and talented young woman who could get by on looks alone. But, after receiving her grade (she didn't need to suck up to get a good one) stepped forward to volunteer to help CW$W with some very boring but essential data entry work. Young people like these are a tribute to their generation. I am so fortunate to have met them. And... teaching them was a real JOY!
