Giving ice cream sandwiches to fellow inmates was a very kind and generous gesture.
Tonight marks my two year anniversary teaching Life Coaching at Old Folsom State Prison. In addition, we finished up another six-week workshop.
One of my students, a Vietnam Veteran who used to own several ice cream parlors, and who is now working in the canteen, offered ice cream sandwiches to EVERY student in the class.
The ice cream sandwiches cost $2.80 each and we have 22 students in the class. According to my math this is around $60 out of his pocket. Knowing that he earns around 90 cents per hour, I have to call this VERY generous.
We hear so many negative stories coming out of prison. Sometimes we need to hear about some of the good things that are happening when no-one is looking. It is important to catch people being good, kind, and generous.
