Your poem explains serendipity. If you wouldn't have got in the club, you wouldn't have leaned what higher thinkers, think.
Congratulations on you wins and good luck with your poem.

This was a pleasure to read. You conveyed how much Mrs. Fryar contributed to your education and how grateful you are for her work. It was very well written. I still can't spell it, huh? My word? Fortuitous.

What a wonderful testimony to the grace of wonderful teachers. I can't imagine enjoying getting up and speaking to others for fun. It was hard enough to do it when I had to. I'll bet you were often a winner. You are so good at writing and being organized.

This story is well written and speaks to me as both a former student and former teacher. It sounds like you had a two for one teaching team, husband and wife. Too often we remember bad teachers and don't stop to honor the good ones. You have done that, well.

Happy Holidsys,

Alex

Now, I wouldn't have joined the debate team because I was a C- student. I would have thought the smart kids would have made fun of me. Funny how people can influence us and we will remember it for our whole lives. Great piece. Gretchen

What a pleasant smile on such a pretty face, and to think she played a big part of improving young people's lives makes that pleasant photograph are the more meaningful. Thanks for sharing.

    Yes, the chances of our teams making the playoffs are about as good as us sprouting wings and flying. But you've at least got the Texans as a consolation.
    Merry Christmas, Terry!

Nice poem. I'm a good speller but I would have a hard time spelling that word. I enjoyed reading this story. Sometimes people come our lives and make a difference. Well written.

Knowing a word and its meaning is vastly different than actually living and experiencing its meaning. You have found serendipity in your life by bravely opening yourself up to new and challenging experiences. Those smart kids had nothing on you. Thank you for sharing this inspiring piece!

Serendipity is a wonderful word with a plethora of meanings from unexpected to the name of a dragon in a children's book I once read long ago. I love the large print size which is easy on the eyes. Your debate team taught you a wealth of knowledge about learning to get along with others despite taking different sides of an issue to discuss. Good for you, Terry!
Keep sharing these tidbits of words that have meanings to you.
Jesse
