…dust off your butt + get your self respect back.

…such a great lyric from MJ… I almost find myself avoiding to listen this this song because I know that it has the power to ‘set me straight’.

If you haven’t heard by now, the little teaching gig just didn’t work out the way I hoped.

- Was I too weak?

I would like to think of this situation as a test of will… AND I just could not allow my body to endure such pain. Mental and physical.

. Every day that God sent to me I was cursed out by a younger individual that could care less about my well being.

. Every day I had to have a student or 2 removed from my class room because I was ‘bothering’ them in the sense that I was attempting to teach.

. Every day I had a knot in the pit of my stomach.

. Every day I didn’t want to eat.

. Every day I cried.

. Everyday I knew that I would be there would slowly kill me inside.

AND

.Every day since I left I have THANKED MYSELF for getting out of such a toxic situation.

- Ya see… I was going to go and save the world!!!! Little did I know of how harsh the ‘world’ really is. I couldn’t even fathom that inner city public school student could be so lost. Everyone is now telling me that I need to write another book to share this experience…

- I may need to write another book as my own personal therapy :)
