precious

The Chicago schools are full of yelling, frustrated & dicouraged teachers, dirty mouthed kids and young eyes that have seen more than you can imagine.

My steryotypes are falling down all around me, I have to watch out so they don't hit me in the head.

These have been some of the hardest days I've trudged through but I've gained so much. I guess you really don't gain anything of worth without hard work.

I'm so glad I came to Chicago.
