I love this story so much and it comes at the perfect time when I am in the middle of end-of-semester grading and hating every little bit ot teaching.

This story reminds me of all the reasons I love teaching at a community college: second chances and space for everyone. And middlebrow, this could be you some day!

That is an awesome story. Think they'll let me join the tennis team?

Wow, wonderful story. The old guy jokes (pumping iron, two-a-day, etc.) were a particular highlight.
