courage, passion and perseverance. I wish people would stop calling them kids or children. It lessons their status to me (a first grade teacher of children/kids). They are young adults who are also students who are more thoughtful, reasonable and eloquent than of most of the adults that I have met in my lifetime.
Thanks for posting '21 !!!!

And THANK YOU for for being a teacher!!!

Now you must forgive me, but I am an old woman who never had children, and I am consistently referring to these remarkable young adults as “my darling babies!!” and/or “The Kids” - with a heart full of love and respect -

These young adults are literally unfucking my life and I owe them

EVERYTHING

back!
