Robin Williams's death was one that got to me more than most famous people passings. Maybe it's just that I grew up with him. But there always seemed to be a sadness behind the comedy and acting that he did
It's no secret that many of the @tropicsm crew love the movie Good Will Hunting. Most of us are #firstgen college grads and Robin Williams's character seemed a lot like the kind, caring, humble teacher we all knew who wanted to help us to get through things
Almost everyone who made it through the wickets of K-12 and college as a poor or working class, POC, and/or LGBTQ person had characters like Sean as teachers who cared about us and made us think things were possible
