I always make my kids give me a hug on the last day of school as they are leaving. It's a real push for some of those 8th grade boys to do. Yesterday last period I was hugging a boy, Dustin, who has MD and is in a wheelchair. He ask me if I would bring him an autograph from Russia. I told him I sure would. That made me remember why I'm going. To see and experience things that I can share with my students that they may never get to see for themselves. I will sure remember as I travel around Russia that Dustin is depending on me to bring him apart of Russia back with me for him to experience.
