The Good People In The World

Today I had to train at the West LA Sportmart store...which by the way is only 2 miles from my house. Funny isn't it? I am driving 21 miles to work everyday when there is a store right up the street. And 21 miles in California is a lot. However, I cannot do anything about this as the closest store they could get me into was Canoga Park. Anyhoo, I cannot even begin to tell you how nice thte man who trained me was today. I was around for 8 hours and he is one of the kindest and compassionate human beings I have ever met. He came here from Mexico City 15 years ago and has a wife and two kids. He has the best outlook on life and you could tell all he wanted to do was help me. I told him how I missed my family and friends so much and sometimes I wonder if I can make it. His words of encouragement were refreshing and I felt so thankful that I had the opportunity to spend a day with this kind gentleman. And that is exactly what he was. He was a gentleman. He would always apologize if he had to leave me for a second and would always let me go out the door first. He was a good human being and there are so many good human beings out there that fail to ever meet. He is the first person out here who is not roommates who has given me a little hope. Thanks!!!
