She is short and about 60 years old. She has dark hair. But how would I know her name? I had never talked with her before. In fact, Id never even thought about talking to her. I stared at my paper and started to feel rather guilty. Finally, I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank.Before the class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our grades.“Absolutely,” the teacher said. “In your life, you will meet many people. All are important. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is to smile and to say hello.”Ive never forgotten that lesson.
