Richard shared some advice he would give to incoming students - an assignment he was given yesterday before he left for his eye therapy appointments. He said he would tell students to "just have fun - but follow the rules." We also discussed leadership qualities and reviewed the major accomplishments of some people in history we have covered in class who are considered heroes. Richard was asked to reflect on those qualities he deemed most important and asked if he sees any in himself. I recognized those that earned him the role of diplomat at Batt and those which he possesses that have helped set a good example for others at school.
