what could i do to make the one i loved love me back ?

It's hard keeping everything the same when the same things look and feel so different

Isn't that why we're put on this earth to begin with, to make it a better place? It's not a religious quest; it's a humanitarian one.

I've had more students die than I ever thought possible. My husband urges me to quit Fairfield and teach at some school without gang members who live their lives only to die or end up as drug dealers.

...there's no rule book or game plan when it comes to the grim realities of our lives.

It's pure instinct that makes me rebel every time someone tries to control my life and hand out more rules.

I'm poor, not homeless.
