Alan even resorted to mathematical solutions to crack this puzzle, but it didn’t seem to help either of us.

I did not know what to expect on the first day, but I met a wide range of personalities in the other students. It was incredible to see the diversity.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Truck driver training usually involves a lot of pressure. The intensity of the experience is part of what made it so special for him.  He quickly formed  a very close bond with many of his fellow students, and they are a diverse bunch of characters whom he never would have come to know so well under other circumstances.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Randy sounded a bit odd when I talked to him today. For the past several days, he has mentioned feeling trapped and restless, and anxious to begin training.  I suspected it was just a reaction to all that he had been through, combined with elation from his success, which can be just as overwhelming as the constant anxiety and tension.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Randy was all excited and relieved to tell me that, early in the day, he passed his backing test on the first try.  He was nervous, so he did lose 2 points (could miss 12 and pass).  He's been backing trailers (on and off over the years) since he was 16, but said that being trained in proper techniques has increased his confidence. He said the thing he misses most about home is "me making dinner".  What???  Shouldn't he have just said "me"? The thing I miss most, at least right now, is just being able to sleep.]]></description>
