After taking an exam, I decided I had a few extra hours to implement an idea I had for the past couple of weeks. I bought a piece of foamboard and a thick Sharpie and wrote the following message:
"You Survived! Yay!
Have a wonderful day!
(Free Puns, just ask!)"
I stood with this sign outside a campus building so that students who had just finished a test would walk out and see my message. Though I was in plain sight, there were a few people who never saw me, because they were looking down on their phones to text or start to call someone.Understandable to a degree, but kind of unfortunate.
Most people, however, did see me, and it was worth the couple of hours of standing to see smiles on students' faces. Several people asked for a free pun, which brought added delight all around, as did a smattering of high-fives and hugs. Today, I am grateful for those people (indeed, most of the students that walked out of the exam building) who looked up and saw me, sharing a good sign.
