I never had Giacomo as a “regular” student, but saw him in many different settings after retiring and plying my trade as a sub. Giacomo was always kind to everyone and had a wonderful sense of fun. One day I saw Giacomo struggling down the hall on a new set of crutches. I had broken my leg the year before and knew what a pain this could be.
“Don’t worry, Giacomo. This too shall pass.”
“There”s got to be a better way!” he groaned.
Later that day I saw Giacomo cruising down the hallway with a big grin on his face. Ms. Dunn and Ms. Elaine had given him his own set of wheels, a long forgotten little wheelchair in the office closet.
