Written while a student in the “School of Education”.

Cleaning out an old bag, I found a poem I wrote in a fit of frustration a couple of years ago. I’ve never been a classroom teacher; always, I’ve been a specials teacher or librarian. It amuses me how teachers perceive these support positions.

This is a story about how tough it is to teach when students give up on education. It was written to encourage teacher’s to continue teaching for the students who need their support.

Freedom comes about through risk-taking. Be sure to say “thank you” to firemen, policemen, nurses, doctors, military personnel, educators, and pastors. They make your life more comfortable every day.
