Lesson 1

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. 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.
