Dear Students,
My job is to teach you...
Your job is to take it in.
I get it. School is hard. Life is hard. That never changes. You are the one that has to make up your mind if you're going to go after what you want in life. My job is only part of it. I can relay every bit of knowledge I have to you, but it means not a thing if you don't take it in and give my efforts the best of your efforts in return.
I'm asking for your best effort. It doesn't have to be perfection, just your best. I will give you my best and I want you to give me yours. Yeah, we're going to mess up once in a while. It's okay to make mistakes, as long as you pick yourself back up and do it again.

Reading and writing, like everything else, improve with practice. And, of course, if there are no young readers and writers, there will shortly be no older ones. Literacy will be dead, and democracy - which many believe goes hand in hand with it - will be dead as well. ~ Margaret Atwood
The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education. ~ Martin Luther King Jr.
