Haiku-a-day -- Ripples




Each of us -- a stone.
Our lives -- the drop, the ripples.
What we do -- matters.

Today I will celebrate with a student who can trace his degree in Environmental Policy back to his experiences in my fourth grade classroom. It's rare to learn how the "what we did" became the "who they are."
