Everyone Is Significant! (Posted by Priya Deelchand)

My dearest friends,

Hope you had an excellent week!:))

Here is a story that I would like to share with you to end this week beautifully! The author of this story is unknown and the lesson it contains is very important for all of us.

Here is the story.

During my second month of nursing school, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions, until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" Surely, this was some kind of joke.

I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank.

Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade. "Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say 'hello'." "I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy.

So dearest friends, I wish you all a fabulolus weekend!

Much love,
Priya:))
