A-Maize-ING

This is Maize

This is Maize.  I figured that I should talk about some of the youth on our Pulling Together Journey and I would like to first introduce you to A-MAIZE-ING (aka. Flava-Maize).  Maize was an amazing addition to the SD46 Crew.  He is an old spirit who had many insightful things to say throughout the journey, like "did you open an window" and "that's all that teachers know."  OK.  Those statements to YOU may seem out of context and not so meaningful.  You are absolutely correct.  For me, Maize was able to say the right things at the right time.  He was understanding, patient, fun-loving, and kind.  I truly believe that he understood "the goods" of Pulling Together and embraced them wholeheartedly.  I learned so much from Maize that I would consider him an Elder in his young age.  It was an honor to spend time with Maize during the 2011 Journey and get to know him.  Thank you Maize for teaching me so much.  I am truly grateful.  All my relations.
