One returned


 One returned


In my brief internship teaching 7th grade art at Lake Gibson Junior High, perhaps it was the reason I never continued. It was a daily breaking up fights, getting control, doing little actual teaching to the uninterested. And so I ended up in retail. Years later I received a letter and it read,

In all my years in school, you were my favorite teacher of all. It was from Greg who was picked on by the bored. 

It made me wish I’d have given teaching another chance for the one who returned.
