A funny thing happened at 'Back To School Night'
Confession. I arrived last Thursday evening to an event at my daughter's school with a bit of baggage. Taking into account the malaise of my work day, coupled with a commute from Fort Meade, Maryland into Washington D.C. on 295S that included listening to a White House press briefing, I entered into the school building in a mind space not well-suited or prepared to digest the diligent, classroom productions of my own children. I'd like to apologize and profess that I will never allow this to happen again.
Basil, you are but 10yrs old with the wisdom of a thousand years. Dear God how I praise and adore you. Keep flying young girl, keep FLYING.
Basil James Mann, 10yrs old, Student, Inspired Teaching School Washington, D.C.
I AM POEM - 11/7/17
I am brave and powerful
I wonder about the meaning of life
I hear life going round and coming back again
I see a mountain of which I climb
I want to be a supreme court judge
I am brave and powerful
I pretend to be the best judge I can be
I feel like a warrior fighting for freedom
I touch my goals that keep me moving forward
I worry that not everyone will make it in life
I cry when the safety of the world pulls my father away from me
I am brave and powerful
I understand that the world is not fair
I say that the world can give back
I dream to make it to the top
I try to do the right thing
I hope that world will become a place for all
I am brave and powerful
