It’s amazing who you can meet while taking the bus. We usually see interesting people all the time, but never have the courage to start up a conversation for fear of rejection. I sat behind Rosa and the first thing I noticed was her big hair. I wanted to take a picture, but it’s hard to ask to take a picture while sitting on the bus. However, we both got off at the same stop and were going the same direction so I started talking with her. She’s only 19, and since graduating high school she’s done some modeling back east (for a street photographer!), she’s backpacked all through South Asia for 3 months, and is now getting ready to start university in Calgary taking biology. Since she’s Dominican and has an interest in languages, she also speaks Spanish, French and a bit of Italian. Wow. That’s a very wide spectrum of interests and talents. When I met Rosa, she reminded me of the power and the talent of our youth today. I’ve been recently listening to a 16 year old New Zealand musician
