James A. Misko

The story wasn't over the top, outstanding, jaw dropping, or otherwise beyond remarkable...but it was MEMORABLE for many other reasons.

The way it's told is almost like an oral history being collected. The facts are there with some flourish but only just. We don't get into a lot of the nitty gritty details that could have weighed it down from its ultimate point.

It's a true celebration of the power of educators. Those who take that extra step to not simply impart the knowledge on the syllabus, but to connect with their students, make the experience personal, and indelibly mark them as having been one of their own as they continue their march forward in life.

In the end, it's a journey from school days to...well, days in school, but on the other side of the desk. It'll give you a new perspective from which to view their sacrifices and renew your respect for the calling they followed...while smiling at the exchanges (most often between Miles and Ele) that make this hidden gem sparkle and shine.
