Perfect gift

Mr. Quinn just handed out the Loie Legacy Awards (given to alums, some of whom are shown above). Then he told us all to hug the people around us. Now I’m not one who’s deprived of affection, but hugging everyone around me made me feel pretty good. I guess Loie was right on when she said the hug is a perfect gift.

One size fits all. My favorite part of orientation today was our hugs. It made our group even more of a family. I’m ready to take on the professional world. And I’ve got 50 new friends right there with me.
