Memorable learning.......

During my second year of Jr. College, our professor gave the class a quiz, something that was not out of the ordinary. Being a student, i breezed through the questions until the last one, which read; “What is the first name of the lady who cleans the school?”

This had to be a trick question. we had seen the woman on many occasions, and knew that she was in her 50’s and had dark hair, but didn’t know her name. When the time came to turn the paper, I handed over leaving the last question blank.

Just before the class ended, one of my batch mate asked the professor if the last question counted towards the overall mark. The professor replied,

“Absolutely! In your careers you will meet many people, and all of them are significant. They deserve your care and attention, even if it is only to smile and say ‘hello’...”

We never forgot that lesson……..
