Catching Up, With a Little Help
Cleo read "Siddhartha" over her summer vacation. "Yeah," she said after she finished it. "I liked it."
"Was it required reading?" I asked.
"No, but some of my older friends had to read it last year and they said I should."
"That's cool," I said. Cleo's friends are very bright, too. Most went to the same bilingual preschool and speak fluent Spanish. And they all seem to have traveled to Paris and South America.
I asked to borrow the book. That's how Cleo became my literary guru.
Shortly after that I spotted "Brave New World" on the kitchen table. Figuring it wasn't her brother's or her mom's, I again queried Cleo.

Comment: Cindy, I think it was incredibly inappropriate for you to post a comment like that. I'm truly sorry for your friend and I hope she's doing better... but posting personal comments which have no relevance to this website was a poor misjudgement on your part.

Comment: Very inspiring story. The fact that he went back to school at an older age shows character. I can imagine it being very tough and humbling. Kudos to you!
