A lesson in perspective

This week the Department had a graduation party for a dozen homeless students who graduated. It was nice to see how resiliant these students were. They had truely overcome many obstacles and had established direction to their future. It was neat to see how they bonded with my staff and how much one had done to insure that they would get into life improving situations.

At the party as a social mixer they slapped a post it note with someone's name on it on our back. We then had to try and establish who we were by asking yes/no questions to evryone else there. Two Of our Assistant Superintendent's were there. One had "Fergie" on her post it note. She got very contradictory answers from people as she asked questions. Depending on your age you either thought Fergie the Dutchess of York or you thought of a member of a musical group called Black eye Peas.

I was Julia Roberts which I never figured out through the use of yes and no.
