Not So Many Years Ago
I've been waiting for quite some time. Waiting for my students to arrive, eager to learn, happy to be at school. Time passed as I passed the time, but eventually I knew you would arrive. People said I was crazy to wait so long. They said I should get on with things and not look back at Room 8; they didn't believe. I did. I believed day in and day out that I would someday be back on this very playground, in this very building, walking in that very classroom that you now walk. And so it was, as it is, my patience paid off...
