This is a trinket from the most important job I’ve ever had. Not only did working as a night custodian at Pope High School right after college teach me the value of a job, it also allowed me to meet Amy (which also led to us having the three greatest boys in the world.) At the time it seemed like a setback. But sometimes to move forward in life, you have to take a step back. I no longer question bad moments. I just try to figure out how to make the most of them. Like my Dad taught me when I was learning to waterski, don’t make your story about how how fell down. Make it about how you got back up.
I’m thankful for my year at Pope High School, the friends I made and the lessons I learned.
