Mr. Rodriguez felt a powerful urge to skip. He couldn't remember the last time he felt this way. The box, filled with rare books and antique maps, was sitting on his desk. It was from Sofia, a student who’d always been fascinated by history. The small, handwritten note spoke of the inspiration he’d given her. He paced his office, a grin playing on his lips, overwhelmed with this incredible feeling. He clapped his hands together, then started humming a song, the joy humming through him like electricity.
