One of my favorite clients was this little short guy with round glasses and a big mustache. He kind of looked like a turtle and he was the most polite and “old fashioned” gentleman in the entire building. The first day I met him he told 
me the most interesting story about his time in prison. In a nutshell, during his days there he had realized that it was his purpose in life to become a motivational speaker. He had gotten a “brood” of guys to flock around him and had become their mentor. He helped them get through the good and the bad days, and his philosophy on seeing life in the most positive way had helped keep many of them out of trouble. He was inspiring and completely committed to his ideas and his motivation to help others – not something we saw very much with our clients.
A couple of months into the job I was helping a client organize his life situation, and I needed to make copies of his IDs. He was rather ADHD, so when he didn’t respond to my request I just thought he had spaced out. I asked again, and he leaned forward and asked if he could go to the bathroom. Confused I told him that he could go in a minute, but I needed his IDs first. ....continued in next post
