After that somewhat dismal message yesterday ("same old song"), I thought I'd share a happier moment tonight. This morning I had a group of eighth graders in, continuing their research on social reformers of the 19th century. I was helping to proofread their proposal essays (in part to show them the problems with trusting spellcheck too much). I came across one young fellow who wrote in part, "I am choosing Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman because they were both abolitionists, and because I found two great books in the library with a lot of information about them." Hallelujah! Steve Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragements, and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak.
