Student made goals for themselves for the school year and beyond. This is one student's goal: "My goal for the school year is to make it to my birthday. My goal for a couple of years now is to live past 21 years of age". #deep #realtalk (at Ms. N's English Class)

She would scare me too

"Shut up! All of you. We danced. That is all, and mark this, if anyone breathe a word or the edge of a word about the other things, I will come to you in the black of some terrible night, and I will bring with me a pointy reckoning that will shudder you! And you know I can do it. I saw Indians smash my dear parents’ heads on the pillow next to mine. And I have seen some reddish work done at night. And I can make you wish you had never seen the sun go down!"

On the last day of school in Houston, I came back to class and found this written on my white board. It was written by a student who was easily my most difficult student of the year.  I wrote numerous referrals and kicked him out of class multiple times during multiple periods of the day.  This put a smile on my face and reminded me that every student is still a student and will have plenty of maturing to still do.  This was a great sign of a start.
