Opportunity

Special opportunities come our way sparingly. When they are presented you feel it in your gut, the need to grasp and hold on, some of the others question your judgement. But tonight as I write this blog David took hold and owned an opportunity. His Writing Center teacher at McCallie is doing a reading from her published book and wanted one of the students to introduce her. David, my behind the scenes child stepped forward, did a ninja hold on any other person that volunteered, and fought for the opportunity. Tonight he introduced Erin Tocknell, the author of "Confederate Streets". By the way you should pick it up it's a good read.

  1. David did a great job! Not only was it very kind, he managed to explain the gist of the book much more clearly than I ever have. It was a wonderful evening, and David's intro was definitely a highlight.
