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.
