Angela Poe Russell: You never know where your next big life lesson will come from‪.‬ KIRO Newsradio Commentaries

    • News

At SeaTac airport, while getting on the train that takes you to various gates, I saw something I’ve seen dozens of times before. But never thought much of it. The train doors were about to close and I spotted a guy running as fast he could towards the vehicle in hopes he could squeeze inside before the doors shut. Unfortunately he just missed it. I swear his face smacked into the vehicle.

 

It was awkward

 

And some people chuckled.

 

All I could think at that moment was how I had never done anything like that. I’ve never run towards a train or after a bus that was about to leave.

 

My mindset has typically been to wait for the next one.

 

The question was why?
