Hopeful

Isn't this how things go, one moment you think, "how can this ever happen?" and the next, the way through seems so simple? Well maybe "so simple" is an understatement, but yesterday's meeting left me thinking we are making progress.

A student came to our meeting, Emmet. I really like him, he is thoughtful and smart. But what I thought was so great was that we, the faculty, were willing to be completely transparent and honest. We allowed conflict and disagreement, we did not try to manage our image. I want to be part of this kind of community.
