4+ min ago (461+ words) In his book, Rhee writes about how a childhood moment involving a red helicopter toy shaped how he moves through the world. I realized I had such a moment, too. In the fall of 1986, I was a first grader at Buena Vista Elementary School in Walnut Creek, California. One morning, my teacher asked me if I'd be willing to spend some time in another classroom. She explained why, and I agreed. After that, once a week she would tap my shoulder, and I'd step outside and walk a few doors down. I don't remember much about the room itself.

I didn't have the vocabulary for it then. I…...
