You All Stand Alike
Perryville, MD
October, 2014
It is late at night. The grocery
store will close in ten minutes so we, the last few customers of the night, are all running around, trying to get our last
minute items. I am at the deli counter, minding my own business when the deli
worker asks me, "are you a principal or something? I don't know, maybe a
teacher?"
I eye him up to see if he looks
familiar as he had to be a former student to ask me that question.
"Were you one of my
students", I demand to know. Then I tell him that I used to be a high school principal for most of my career.
"No", he tells me,
"I have five kids so I see a lot of their principals. You all stand
alike."
