through this training process, i was reminded once again that there are certain traits that i truly value in people. among them, loyalty, sincerity...but most of all - dependability. integrity. i think the single most characteristic that i appreciate (and the single most one that peeves me to no end when it's lacking) is knowing that you can count on someone.
perhaps it's because i've learned over and over again that people will inevitably let you down. or not even have been around in the first place to have let you down. i get so pleasantly surprised when the reverse happens.
mikey was stretching me out today after class and laura was on her way out.
laura: "see you guys saturday?"
mikey: (looks at me) "am i coming on saturday?"
me: "yep"
mikey: (to laura) "then i'll see you saturday"
it's funny, 6 years later, 3000 miles from where we first trained together - some teammates never change. and for that i'm thankful.
