Small Victories

Birdie doesn't let me swear, so I'll have to just say I had a SPITTY day last Wednesday. That's why I was happy to see this assignment (which was handed in this week) when grading papers on Friday (In my bathrobe! No school! Yea!) It's an 8th grade student's "credo," or a list of 10 things he believes. This simple piece of paper, with its short, simple lines, made me feel a little better.


I Believe
by Joe Student

I believe the bible is fake
I believe god is not real
I believe clowns are evil
I believe you can't live without girls
I believe foster care sucks
I believe [ThisTinyTown] is boring
I believe school is boring
I believe winter is cold
I believe Mrs4444 is decent
I believe everyone is mean.


I'm choked up here, you guys. Seriously.

Thanks, Kid.
