Dear @intelliguy, you wrote a fantastic story about my son Exyle. You were right in everything you wrote. He is a fantastic guy and I'm happy to have a son like him. He made me familiar with Steemit and in November 2016 I joined the community also. I follow him of course, and I know his stories are sincere. He, and Bianca also, write fair stories about their lives. He is a true believer in the strength and the future of Steemit. I liked the way you wrote the piece itself, I will follow you from now on and upvoted your story, but that's logical of course. With kind regards, Clio

Wow, glad to hear from you. Obviously you some small part in raising this great fellow. :) Thank you, and congrats on a job well done.
I'm following you too... although, it says you're a retired principal. Apparently I just got sent to the principal's office (smirk)... but this time it was for a good reason.
I have a feeling we'll be seeing each other in passing a lot more now. I was more than happy to recognize your son for the good work he does... He leads by example even if he didn't realize he was leading. :)
Good to meet you. :)
As a principal, my door was always open and all kind of students entered my room. Besides not only the children removed from class came to me, I also welcomed with much pleasure the students who did an excellent job or who wanted to talk to me about problems they had with teachers or at home. That's the nice thing about being a principal: trying to make a ' home' for everybody at school, teachers and students! Leading by example, not saying ' you should do this or that' and doing something completely different yourself.
Good to meet you too!
Our teachers are the one that always demonized the principal in our school. "If you don't listen what I'm telling you.. you're going straight to the principal's office"
It is often the teachers who make the principal seem unapproachable and unfriendly.. at least it was the way I learned it growing up.
Which is a shame. I'm glad you showed students that if they did good (or bad), there was two sides to the principal's office, and it was not always negative.
