You're incredible. ...Hey bro... first of all.. You're incredible. I love the fact that you are working with this demographic, it definitely shows your personality. Secondly, I wouldn't think of it as a favor. I have found that our older and wiser folks not only want, but need someone younger to pour into, and who is respectful enough of their experience, wisdom, and time to listen and gleam knowledge from them. What good is their knowledge if they have no one who will listen to it; learn and grow from it? <br /><br />It's not a favor to get the best teacher who cares about kids into the classroom with them. I'm not sure how the whole education hierarchy works, but I would assume that their influence decreases when they exit from the game just like every other profession. <br /><br />If you respect them, and they respect you, then there should be no problem with them at least making sure the people in those school districts take extra time on your application to see the kind of man, and educator that you are. <br /><br />I really think it would behoove you to take advantage of the relationships you've cultivated! Good luck! Love you!Justice Calo Reignhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262133294457097960noreply@blogger.com
