I have been incredibly down since the happenings of September 11th. I thought of each of you when I saw the Pentagon and I worried that you might know someone in that building. I worried mostly because I thought that you might be afraid. My new students asked about you when they found out that you might have been affected. They said that now they will fear in their every day lives.
Life comes with no guarantees.
Life hands us lessons and we must learn and move on or dwell on negativity and fail. You must find the strength within your heart to move on and to triumph over fear. I am trying every moment. I can only tell you that I will never forget you. I can still name all of you in the pictures that I have displayed in my classroom.
