I was really encouraged today when Bill came to fetch me in the Staff Room. Why would that be encouraging, you ask? Well, as much as everyone loves Bill, it wasn't his presence that warmed the cockles of my heart – it was the message he carried: "Domenic's here for you." Domenic happens to be a crazy fun, 13 year old lad that I met precisely a week ago. Last week had been the time of the Art Elective; and last Thursday was actually the day that Leah was in charge of the Art Elective (teaching people how to make stellar bracelets). However, that happened to be the first day of the entire week that I'd had anyone come and draw with me. Let me take you back…
I was wandering rather aimlessly, that Thursday morning, when I saw Sarah drawing and talking with a boy at the Art Table. "Sweet!" I thought to myself. "I need to get in on this deal!" The boy was Domenic. I recognized him as the boy I'd seen the day before talking to Adam and Leah near the
The next day (Friday), Domenic showed up at the Dugout again – this time he brought a friend: a boy named Mitchell, with a Nintendo DS permanently fixed to his hand. So, today, when Bill tapped my shoulder and announced that Domenic was looking for me, it brought a smile to my face. I found him outside the Staff Room door and he quickly informed me that Mitchell would also be making a reappearance and I certainly hope that the pair of them make many more appearances in the future.
