"I
walk around the school hallways and look at the people. I look at
the teachers and wonder why they’re here. If they like their
jobs, or us . I wonder how smart they were when they were fifteen.
Not in a mean way, in a curious way. I look at all the students and
wonder who’s had their heart broken that day, and how they
are able to cope with having three quizzes and a book report due on
top of that. Or wondering who did the heart breaking. And wondering
why.
