I love doing this on calls. I love doing this in class. I've worked with one guy before - and I meet at least three or more every couple of months - and I was walking in a parking lot, all of a sudden this young man grabs my arm and says, "Agent McClannan, guess what, I have a job." For some reason this is always the first thing everyone says to me. It took me a minute to remember his face, then I did and I know it was a guy sitting in my class a few years ago with the. charge of possession of marijuana. You can see the pride in his eyes. Knowing that he left that mark in someone's life, they still remember him over time, and when they see him they don't hide but greet him with positive news knowing that I can be a 'hero' to someone who will always remember me because I helped them make it happen
