Book News:

I feel like I could post this video alone on the blog and let it speak the volumes I try to speak to my high school students everyday.  Today, instead of fighting another kid, a student asked me to pick him up from the cafeteria when the bell rang.  Instead of sticking his fists where the words hurt, he used his words to be a bigger person.  I told him, we’re dominant on the animal food chain because we have the ability to reason.  I told him not to give someone else control of himself because that’s what fighting is.  I told him not to listen to his friends who won’t have a fighting blemish on their record just from cheering him on.  We have the ability to say, no, I will not be that guy, that girl, that person, that nobody, that somebody, THAT.  I will walk into that cafeteria everyday if I have to, through the hoards of students, to remind just one of my students that they’re important, they’re beautiful, they’re worth it.  Tell someone you love them today, tell them they fill a space inside you that rings when they speak.
