Dear K...

A note I wrote one of my girls during class...

Dear K.R.,

You have a natural talent for understanding economics. Have you ever thought of studying economics in college? You'd be really good at it!

-Ms. Serrano

"I haven't thought about it before," she says. "Have you thought about what college you want to go to?" "No." "I'm going to look up economic programs and different colleges and print them out so we can take a look at them, okay?" "Alright."

Then she takes the post-it note I wrote and sticks it on her shirt like a badge. On her way out of the class as she passes the teacher, Ms. H, she says "I would show you my note but I don't want to be late, bye Ms. H."
