Freestyle Week #13

I often wonder what it would be like to be an English teacher. Reading all of the assignments, wondering what goes on inside a students head. Where do they come up with some of this material? You have some students who thinks life is a bed of roses ‘cause mommy and daddy have paved their way and you have other students who have grown up in an abusive home and have so much hostility inside that they are ready to explode at the next person who looks at them wrong. This makes you wonder if you should notify authorities or at least it would me if I were an English teacher. That brings me to the shootings that occurred last week at Virginia Tech, you just never know and that is scary. One part of me is happy to live in Bangor, Maine where not a lot of violence occurs but another part of me wonders what lurks around the corner.
