PART 2

Students filled the auditorium.

Faculty members occupied the front rows.

News reporters lined the walls.

The chairman stepped onto the stage.

Then introduced the university’s new president.

The crowd applauded.

Until they saw his face.

Marcus Hill.

The former janitor.

The room exploded with whispers.

Many professors couldn’t believe it.

After leaving the university years earlier, Marcus had earned scholarships.

Completed multiple degrees.

Founded educational nonprofits.

Published bestselling books.

And became one of the country’s most respected advocates for education.

Now he was returning to the very campus where he once cleaned floors.

As Marcus toured the university, he recognized familiar faces.

Including Professor Harold Benson.

The man who had thrown him out of the cafeteria.

Now retired.

Now elderly.

Their eyes met.

And Professor Benson immediately looked away.

Because he remembered everything.

But Marcus wasn’t interested in revenge.

He had something much bigger planned.
