There is a young girl that attends the school that my team tutors at. Her name is Althea. Rather than teach her, she has taught me more than I could have imagined.
She teaches me in the afternoon at the dirt playground. She rides on my back as we explore.
Althea teaches me to…
Be still
Listen
Touch bugs
Jump
Explore without boundaries
Smile despite the rain
Have no expectations.
She is 6 years old and she already can grasp the importance of these lessons.
Althea has become the teacher, and I the teacher.
