The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.
Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed.
They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us. Like animals heading for hibernation, this is the time of year that you should be stockpiling all the goodies you can get your paws on for next year. From art projects to classroom organization, the whosits and whatsits you collect now will seem worth their weight in gold as you head into next semester. Before you just start filling your closet with things to recycle in your classroom, take the time create an organization system.
