My daughter spent the first day of her spring break at school…only it was my school.
She endured the fifty-minute-one-way commute, went to two different meetings, checked out books in the library, attended chapel, and grabbed lunch in the caf.
Chilling in my office watching cartoons while I was teaching? Yep.
Walking around campus in the afternoon and running into students and colleagues? Check.
Two worthwhile moments:
- “Dad, do you know what I like most about coming to SWU? You’re here!” That’s some Hallmark-level heartstring appeal!
- After her first shy interaction with a colleague, I encouraged her to look people in the eye and be sweet. She did so for the rest of her time on campus.
