I wanted to enter my own testimonial about my student Bren Wilson. This morning at Tai Chi, we noticed that his head was shaved. He told me that he did it to help a friend celebrate his last chemotherapy session and that his friend was in full remission. We don't often sing the praises of those around us loudly enough. I have never seen Bren Wilson have an unkind word or action toward a fellow student. He is a remarkable student, friend and teacher here at my school. Along with his hectic life working in the gaming industry, he has worked hard to join and then create a new search and rescue team, he commits time and resources to an organization that takes food and clothing to the homeless, and he has made real effort toward learning ASL (American Sign Language) in order to help me teach a hearing impaired student at our school. Meanwhile he never misses more than a couple classes without apologizing to me profusely (unnecessary, but a nice gesture), and never fails to comeback to class and get right back on track. I will be collecting clothing here at the school for our yearly sock drive as the fall weather approaches. Bren then helps us to distribute these items to people who really need a helping hand. Drop by many pairs of NEW socks in the big barrel by the door. Thanks Bren for helping to restore our faith in the many unsung heroes of this world. |
