Not many people I know love to go through airport security, but
a Transportation Security Administration employee is my latest role model. When
I got home from my tour of Pennsylvania colleges, I
opened my suitcase to find the below note, left for me by the TSA.
"1924-Good luck choosing a college!"
As a 50+ adult, it certainly made me smile when I realized
that the TSA worker must have seen my large stack of viewbooks and thought I
was a high school student checking out college options. I puzzled a bit about
the "1924". My guess is that it's a TSA employee ID number, but I
haven't been able to confirm that or figure out how to send back a thank you to
this well-wisher.
Mostly, I appreciate the thoughtfulness of this worker. I
pinned the note above my desk because it reminds me that even when I feel
swamped, taking the time to be extra kind to a student or colleague is always
worthwhile.
