Episode Synopsis
This is the second episode of 'Sharing Life Lessons'. A podcast that brings you stories from around the world because stories inspire, stories teach and stories heal!
I want to thank those who took time to send me comments with words of love, encouragement and feedback. I am thankful for having you on my team.
Today's guest is a person to whom story telling comes naturally, He was appointed the 16th head of Peddie School in 2013. His appointment was a homecoming to Peddie, an elite private school in NJ, where he had served as a teacher, coach, dorm supervisor, college counselor, and admission director between 1985 and 1996. Let's listen to Peter Quinn share his life lessons.
Peter takes us nearly 40 years back to his college summers when his father required that he work at the rail roads to 'tough it out' and face reality and life in a less sheltered manner. His interactions with the men working there, many with no education, makes for an interesting topic to discuss. Peter learnt the importance of education, hard work, diversity and the toughest lesson that no college professor could teach him in the four years of college: "Teach them that wants to be teached" The railroad foreman who said these words to Peter said 'I know I am not saying it right, but if my 5th grade teacher had taught me to spell, read and write - I would have said it right".
