You never know when someone is REALLY listening to you.
Recently I was reminded of my 9th grade year. You would think as a freshman I would not want to recall any of that year. Here's my story to prove that your words matter.
1989 I was the lead in our school play, I wrote a skit that was performed for the school, and won a
scholarship to MS State University for drama! That year I kicked ass for the first time! I found something I was good at and everyone enjoyed it. I remember the senior Eng. Lit. teacher came up to me after the play and
said, "Rachel, honey, whatever you do in this world remember that you have a gift of speech." I've forgotten a lot in my many years; that stuck with me. You never know what you say to a kid that will mean the world to them.
