  1. Very terrific! Thanks for sharing your story. I’m sure many of us have ventured “off script” at some point and have similar positive outcomes when risking “losing control.”

  2. Students love to know that you are REAL and much like them. Thanks for sharing this story, Roger. The lesson learned is a most valuable one.

  3. Dr. Galindo, thanks for your affirmation. It’s good to hear your words from an experienced dean.

  4. Thanks, Dr. Samek. I’m hoping that you can meet with some of these students on your next trip to Asia! I’m wishful that my fluency will only improve by the time spring comes around…
