My stomach rumbles, for we had no morning meal. But it isn't really a meal I want, though I would not turn one down.

More than anything else, I want to learn to read.

Every year, regardless of the grade I'm teaching, I read this book, by Marie Bradby and illustrated by Chris Soentpiet, based on the life of Booker T. Washington, to my class. It's why I'm there. It's why they're there. The most important thing that I can teach them is to crave more knowledge, more understanding.
