He wrote existentialist poetry, listened to the Grateful Dead, and taught me to skateboard during our lunch hour. I managed to keep this crush in class by tutoring him before exam period and taking extra notes in math, a positive influence that only went so far: a physics teacher soon caught him shooting construction workers with a B.B. gun and his spring break became a permanent vacation.

...that his way is the right way. He said that his approach to parenting is about the day-to-day actions of life. “It’s about when you can, not if you can,” he said. “Two seconds can crush the human spirit and two seconds can build it up,” he later added. After Underwood finished speaking, students filled the lobby of Boylston trying to find an opportunity to speak with him and to get their books signed.“This wasn’t just...
