Yesterday and today it was my pleasure to speak at Howard Payne University in Brownwood, TX. Being with enthusiastic, young college students reminded me of my years serving as a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Those were great years!
I love the energy and curiosity of today’s youth. I still find just being on a college campus stimulating. I’d love to speak to college students and faculty more often.
I had a chance to ask one college sophomore why she likes Howard Payne. Frankly, it’s a small school in the middle of nowhere (or that’s how it feels driving there) so I was genuinely curious. Her answer pleased me greatly! Without hesitation, she replied, “It’s the professors. Definitely!”
Teachers will always make the difference. It doesn’t matter if we’re talking about preschoolers or college students. Let’s encourage every teacher we know! The good ones are probably working really hard and would love to be thanked. Others could be working more diligently. Maybe your encouraging word will make the difference!
