Reflections on Roger: Taliq Tillman
Originally posted on October 18, for Youth Today. He is now a veteran school leader at the Met high school , a podcaster and college instructor. For Arthur, student ownership of their learning is fundamental for everything he and his staff do at the Met. It is his belief that students are most engaged when they drive their own learning. Schools must create opportunities for students to learn and practice the habits and skills that help them self-direct. To do this, I asked Arthur to introduce me to one of his students who demonstrates the possibilities of student-owned learning. He introduced me to Taliq Tillman, a rising senior who has the charisma, work ethic and smarts that will help him do great things in life. Taliq credits most of his success to his school, community and especially his mother. Here, Taliq could express his creative side.

It is not the norm. You will have to convert and betray your ideals to keep the relationship alive. Some great ideas include going on a hike or a walk, having a picnic outside or going to museum. If all you are looking for is some non-serious dates to have a good time, you should be fine. It's like saying I know how to treat you respectfully buuutt I don't feel like it. I wish I could find a support group in South Africa. However, from what I have seen he has all of the qualities I want from someone long-term.
