This is Libby and I on the school bus headed towards the English Center. Libby likes when I call her Phoebe. Every time I call her this, my mind immediately drifts to Lisa Kudrow's character from Friends and it makes me smile inside. Libby is very special to me. She is not an Israeli Jew like the majority of my students. She is an Arab Christian. And guess what? There is no difference between her and her classmates. Her heart is made of solid gold. She speaks both Hebrew and Arabic fluently.
There's a famous quote by Anthony Douglas Williams that goes like this:
"One day we will realize that big hearts will bring us more peace than big weapons."
I think Libby is a shining example of such.
Love you Libby!!
