I often enjoy the essay on the last page of the New York Times Magazine each Sunday. It's usually a moving slice of life that only takes a few minutes to read and yet sparks hours of lingering thoughts or images in the days/weeks to come.... Last Sunday's was an example of that. Go here to enjoy Michelle Kuo's essay on The Lost Student. It describes the difference an idealist teacher can make in a troubled youth's life, and the difference she can't. It left me, perversely, both sad and hopeful, those emotions all tangled up together. What do you think? |
