I could not go to Yonkers and Jennifer planned to cover for me
Mike Keating, Instructor of the Emerging Leaders Yonkers Class, said that
he would give me a ride to/from my home in Brooklyn
I was so touched by his offer, and I accepted it because I knew he was sincere
It rained
I went to the physical therapy 12pm appointment and came back around 1:10pm
Mike arrived at 2pm, in the rain
It was a long ride from Brooklyn to Yonkers, especially we are looking for DD
It was amazing that he finally saw a DD at the corner before turning to the West Highway
"Persistence is the key", he said
We arrived around 4pm
I was so sorry that I could not even help Mike set up the classroom because of my injuried ankle
He set up everything after the 4-hour driving, and
started teaching the class
(in green dress) Laura Scarlett-Tavares, Interise, visited the class
I had to elevate my swollen ankle
After 3 hours teaching
8:00pm Thanks to Laura for visting the class from Boston
9: 20pm Mike's smile after driving me back to Brooklyn in the rain
and he had to drive back.
I walked into my apartment with tears
He is the typical American that I thought Americans were when I came to US
A man of dignity, pride and compassion
Thank you, Mike
