Such inspiring reading this morning, Bill. Kudos. I feel good after reading stuff like this. So much doom and gloom out there. This story is a breath of fresh air. Damn good thing they took that undergraduate student's advice, eh?

'The greatest thing you ever did, you didn't even know you did!"

This happened to me. I was sitting in on a class with some teens as they needed an adult monitor. One of them was lamenting that he was adopted and disliked his adopted parents. Off the cuff, I mentioned that he actually has it better than the rest of us because he’s actually not related to them. The class cracked up laughing. I saw him several years later. He told me that that comment changed his whole attitude toward life and he graduated with honors from school and went on to grad school. “What you said changed my life! Thanks!” 😳
