Here's a little story about how every person can be a hero in someone else's eyes, even if they don't necessarily know that they are...
About 1-2 days per week, the garbage man comes to the CDC in order to empty our dumpster. Whenever this happens, quite a few of the kids will run to the window and yell, "THE GARBAGE TRUCK IS HERE!!!" They get SO excited every time they see that truck, even though it comes on a weekly basis. Kim and I think it's hilarious, so we've also taken to shouting sarcastically across the room to each other that, "THE GARBAGE TRUCK IS HERE!!!"
The garbage man probably has no idea that there are 31 preschoolers who are ecstatic about seeing him and his truck every week. He may even think it's a job that doesn't deserve a lot of recognition, but I know a bunch of 3-5 year olds who think that he's the coolest.
