unhinged students like kale remind me weekly why i am a teacher. i love transforming little lives, being the adult that a child can confide their secrets in, laughing honestly about something completely silly.

i would be lost right now if it wasn't for kale and all the other little ones that made me smile this week. not bitter, not barely, but a real teeth and all smile.
