Today, a man in red boarded the subway, opened his folder, and began reading. A few stops later, another man got on and asked, "What are you studying for? You look confused. Maybe I can help?" The man in red explained that his son had just failed a math test, and he was reviewing fractions to teach him. At 42, he didn’t remember the material and was reteaching himself.
The man in black revealed that he used to be a math teacher and offered to help quiz him. Whenever the man in red made a mistake, it was broken down and corrected. By the end of the train ride, he had a clearer understanding and a new approach to teach his son. It’s moments like these that I appreciate, as most people often overlook what others are going through.
