Hat tip to Nate St.Pierre (though don’t know where he got it from). Reminds me of a previous post I did in 2009 called The Vision Gap.

…there’s no way to hide who you are. Actions speak loader than words.

I really wanted peanut butter and we didn’t have any bread or crackers, so a banana had to do :-/.

My notebooks (I use Moleskin brand) tend to last me 4-5 months each.

While at Fordham University doing a training for their Orientation Leaders, I noticed right from the beginning one student with his head down. He kept his head down the whole time and almost never made eye contact with me. I figured he was either studying, autistic, or just straight up didn’t care what I was talking about. He was the only one in the group of 200 students, so I let it go.

After the program was done, several students came up to me to talk and ask questions, including my anti-eye contact audience member. He took me off guard because he started by thanking me for the program and saying how great it was.

“But you had your head down the WHOLE time…” I replied. To which he replied by opening up his notebook and showing me a page filled with drawings of all the lessons he pulled out of Dance Floor Theory. I was shocked as I’d never had a student, with such talent, draw Dance Floor Theory like he did.

Look below and see for yourself what he drew.

I don’t have any contact info for the student. I only know that he is an Orientation Leader at Fordham University, he’s interning with Marvel Comics, and he has a website where he posts his drawings. He said he’d follow up with me after the program, but silly me forgot to get his email and instead gave him my card. 99.99% of students never follow up after a program.

If you happen to know this student, please connect me with him.
