Stories

Watched the movie 'Fair Game' last night, based on the true story of Valerie Plame. While I remember reading news coverage of the events in the movie, having a story dramatized, or diving into someone's story through memoir or film reminds me of the people behind the news. It's so easy to skim through the morning paper and not get a true feel for the heart of the story. At Jeremy's student-led conference yesterday, I saw something similar, when he had to talk through some guided prompts.  Amazing what you learn when you actually spend some time talking. Fun to hear his thoughts and dreams for the future articulated so well.
