One month ago, Clara Hughes had just arrived in town, fresh from the Olympics, and in need of some refreshment for her soul and mind. She jumped right into the school with her inspiration and genuine, heartfelt message of encouragement to the students. She is truly one of those people that will always be burned in my mind as being the most caring, "REAL", honest, open humble people I have ever had the privilege of meeting.
These two pictures are of some of my favourite people in George River, Wayne and Adamie. I have taught Wayne for many years and have always been impressed with his positivity, his CREATIVITY, his wonderful sense of humour and his deep kindness. Wayne can make me feel happy if I feel blah, just by the way he says hi and smiles. I am SO proud of him, who he is growing up to be, his incredible strength of character and the fact that he might not always have the easiest life ever, but he never gives up and works his butt off, without drawing a huge amount of attention to himself. If I had a kid someday, I would hope that they'd turn out like Wayne.
I don't know Adamie as well, only from when he'd visit his cousin Erik when I'd be visiting Anne. He is one of the sweetest little guys I know. When I first was here, he was still pretty young and I'd often see him looking after his little sister, Betty, walking her home after school. He's very quiet as well, unassuming and so nice that it's hard not to love him! He's always eager to say hello when I see him and makes me feel like I'm home here!
