My company participated on Saturday in the 2010 Chicago Cares Serve-a-thon, which is the largest community service event in Chicago. This year there were more than 6,000 volunteers who spruced up over 40 Chicago schools! After the registration and opening ceremonies, we all loaded the buses that lined Soldier Field - home of the Chicago Bears.
Our team spent all day painting Shield Elementary School, a school located in the South Side of Chicago that accommodates over 850 students.
On the bus ride home, we all felt exhausted, but we talked about wanting to participate next year!
And, I'm read this quote the other day and thought about the impact several teachers have made in my life:
"A master can tell you what he expects of you. A teacher, though, awakens your own expectations."
Patricia Neal, American actress.
