So, last friday I had a ‘trouble class’. At least, that’s what their teacher referred to them as. It was a 2nd grade class. They knew nothing about why they were there. They had no respect or ability to listen to others. After writing the sentence, “I want to learn respect, patience, and kindness.” for a few hours, they didn’t seem to have much of a problem listening. While they were writing their sentences I walked around the room and read to them from the dictionary. Words like honor, humility, respect, patience, and more. I talked to them about what these words meant, why it was important, and so on. I spoke to them about other cultures that embraced these concepts and how different their lives were because of it. I spoke to them of the most prestigious college in Oklahoma, OCU. The same college they see all the time, because it is very close. To them it is something they just know has nothing to do with them. To them, it’s for ‘other’ people. I helped them realize that these principles/concepts I was speaking of were the simple keys they needed to get into that college. To really change their lives, and escape poverty/depression/and more. The kids in the class that were the worst. The ones that really hated me the most. The ones that tried everything to get out of listening to me, by the end of the day there was no anger. The worst one actually came running up to me as I was walking to my car and gave me a hug and said, “I love you.” It was a bit over the top to me, but not to the child. I could tell no one had ever taken them serious before, had listened to them, and got through to them. They were always just given their way and expected to do nothing. So that they felt almost like nothing. No respect, because they had no respect for themselves.
Now, I am waiting on my fourth grade class at the same school to get back from the cafeteria. They are impatient and distracted. Like many young people. They only lack guidance. I hope I can have the same effect with them. They are already learning quite fast. I hope it’s a good day. 
the website that wasn’t good enough.

unfortunately, this wasn’t good enough for the person i created this for (even though i did it all for free)… yet when i look around i see that it’s far better than what i usually find. this is a quality site, what gives? anybody want to buy this off of me? i will customize it for them. dang wish i still had s.corp i created, recently lost with most everything else due to a silly partition table mixup. ack!
