In my hometown‚ I didn’t have many friends. My parents decided it would be best for me if we moved. So‚ we moved to a building where there is no one my age? Great plan Mom‚ Great plan. I was expelled from my last school because I got in a lot of trouble. I can’t explain what I did‚ but let’s just say it’s one heck of a story. I guess I’m a 13 year old punk. At my old school people never really talked to me. They thought I was “the emo freak.” The funny thing is‚ they think that because I wear black

Teaching is sacrificial and it is a calling for those who have a servant’s heart. I am frequently reminded of a student in my Beginning Band class two decades ago. His name was Carlton and he was a special needs student in sixth grade. Carlton desperately wanted to learn to play the Baritone horn well enough that he could perform on the Spring Band Concert but band rehearsals were short and he needed more help. So‚ he and I agreed that he would skip recess and I would skip lunch a few times each

Not only was I focused; I was happy. “If you listen‚ you might actually learn something‚” was

On March 29th of 2016 I stood for a moment looking out at the ocean. It was cold and cloudy out‚ and looking down the beach you can see that there were a few people out‚ and even less out in the water. Behind me‚ bundled up in jeans and jackets‚ to the group of my family and friends. Right next to me on one side that’s my uncle‚ who was the pastor and a role model for me and my faith growing up. On my other side should my youth minister‚ who I had become close with over the past few months. Together

Arrived in front of the automatic glass door‚ it smoothly opened‚ and a cold winter breeze gently flicked my straight fringe away from my eyes. It was getting late. I could see the last shafts of sunlight shining into the frozen ground and reflecting back into my eyes like shiny‚ tiny diamonds while the sun was slowly fading behind the modern tall buildings as they were staring down at me with sympathy.

Tapping the table anxiously waiting for that buzzer to finally beep‚ I am ready to end this. beep‚ beep‚ beep. My self control wasn’t always the best. I would speak my mind often. My mouth was at times as fast as a Nascar and as out of control as a tornado. I was at a debate tournament and I was about to ask the opposing team my questions about the South China Sea conflict. I was so anxious to ask but couldn’t due to the timer. My impulsivity is pretty unique. It’s like my super power in that it
