Saunders, "My Writing Education"

In the article "My Writing Education" Saunders keeps a focus on kindness by focusing on what he needed to do and how to treat everyone around him, Doug is expressing a lot of kindness in this article, he does it in a way to where Saunders looks up to him in many different ways. One example is when Saunder's wife was having their baby at only 4 months old! Saunders worked so hard because he did not want Doug to think he wasn't being the best student he could be. So he then was working so hard to stay on track in school, Doug then told him to slow down and focus on what is going to be around forever, which was his wife and child. To me this kind of kindness that Doug is preforming is through the roof! Usually professors don't engage in your personal life, but with him it shows he actually cares and understand the circumstances. This kind of action probably meant the world to Saunders only because he admires Doug so much not even just as a writer but as a person too.
