I want to thow this out there: I know that teachers get a bad rap for "leaving and arriving at the exact contracted time, working for the holidays."

There are so many teachers that are there to make a difference in our youth. Many of us come from abuse, poverty, challenges, and horrible circumstances. We want better for our future.

I myself have been homeless, grew up in an abusive home, very poor family, as a child been evicted on food stamps and had a car repossessed from my family. I have seen the effect of poverty on childhood obesity. When I finally made it out of the house I lost 130 pounds, paid for my own college and am going to graduate school. I have adopted my youngest sibling and helped her get clean and graduate high school.

Killing brain cells... portraying crime as a means for success... Mostly they want to know if i know who he is.

Smile, it actually works.

Oh snap! I'm passing that on to my kids!

I don't think most of them get what he is all about. My friend teaches in the neighborhood he is currently on house arrest in his moms house. Everyone thinks he is so so cool over there, well the kids, but HE IS IN HOUSE ARREST AT HIS MOM's. really..
