It is my freshman year. Morrie is older than most of the teachers, and I am younger than most of the students, having left high school  a year early. To compensate for my youth on campus, I wear old gray sweatshirts and box in a local gym and walk around with an unlit cigarette in my mouth, even though I do not smoke. I drive a beat-up Mercury Cougar, with the windows down and the music up. I seek my identity in toughness--but it is Morrie's softness that draws me, and because he does not look at me as a kid trying to be something more than I am, I relax.
