...you have an hour-long conversation with a former student who is now in law school and who just found out he was just published in his school's law review for a four page summary of a case that the California Supreme Court is hearing right now! And then you find out he's submitting a 38 page article to the same magazine. And then you realize it's been six years since he graduated and at that the most he would write as a senior was less than five pages. Oh, how the world changes! I guess it makes me happy to know that he's doing well, but boy do I feel old. The guy on the left is how I feel now :)
Congratulations, Matt! I always knew you were a writer, and I only had to stomp on your Sparknotes once or twice to get you thinking!
It was so nice to hear from him. As teachers it really does you good to keep in touch with the kids that really touch your heart. And, on the purely practical side, you never know when you'll need a good lawyer!
