I was on drugs (allergy, back when they sucked and made you go to sleep as a side effect) throughout high school and would fall asleep in class all the time, causing myself to be not so popular with the teachers. Looking back, I should have really said something, but as a kid, you don't realize that adults have feelings too.<BR/><BR/>As for adopting special needs kids, I think a lot of people try it and realize they're over their heads. I know one personally who kept falling through the cracks because of that very issue. It's a lot of work, and too much for the majority of people to handle.<BR/><BR/>If life wasn't so fast paced, and if this country didn't almost require a dual-income to stay out of poverty, it would be much easier. I'm wondering if one of the main culprits of this problem is economic.<BR/><BR/>Dr. J himself, wow! I wish I could half as good a man as this guy.The Zombieslayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00739873812900433755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17765202.post-48690381256021905052008-09-16T18:36:00.000-04:002008-09-16T18:36:00.000-04:00Well I certainly was not expecting that!He sounds ...Well I certainly was not expecting that!<BR/><BR/>He sounds like my kindofa guy.<BR/><BR/>BEst wishesMaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05828186178060722812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17765202.post-39069202716250365312008-09-16T18:27:00.000-04:002008-09-16T18:27:00.000-04:00kathryn, he really is an inspiring person yet in s...kathryn, he really is an inspiring person yet in such an unassuming way<BR/><BR/>desmond, so glad to know you had some inspirational mentors as well<BR/><BR/>lecram, the man lived his beliefs and his passions, no doubt.<BR/><BR/>renny, thank you for the kind words. and yes, he is a model as a fine human being in every sense of the wordlimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17259558876349307173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17765202.post-88575106558890807352008-09-16T17:15:00.000-04:002008-09-16T17:15:00.000-04:00What a great contribution written with love and pa...What a great contribution written with love and passion to a man who certainly is a roll model not only for teachers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17765202.post-84482304782533470692008-09-16T16:31:00.000-04:002008-09-16T16:31:00.000-04:00Bravo, Lime for this post!

The University (and you) are lucky to have him.<BR/><BR/>When growing up I had two instructors in High School that were indredible teachers. The made me want to be in their class, classes that I noramally do bad at. In the end I passed but it was much more a part of them that they passed on to me that made all the difference in the world.<BR/><BR/>I hope this was not the first honor they had for Dr J.
