Dalai Lama Foundation Study Circle Montreal

As I was walking a young man joked, "Hey, she got a smoothie for me!"

I walked up to him and said, "You’re right! Please have it." Of course, he was a bit taken aback and said no. I said, "It’s okay. I have one for your friend too."

They took them and we started walking and talking. He asked if I was a professor and I said I was but not at that college. We had a long conversation about their academic and career plans, etc., and I gave some mentoring advice to them.

It was so great to just connect for that time with those students who were new to their campus. It made my day!
