Tomorrow

I'm scared.

Afraid of the first day.


Tomorrow I meet my students.

Will I be who I was?


I've only wanted three things in life.

To be a husband.

To be a father.

To be a teacher.


I was robbed of the first.

Scared to lose the rest.


Everyday I struggle to be the man I was.

Will I face the same battle tomorrow?

  1. I somehow guessed you were a teacher, maybe because I have taught dance for 15 years, or because I am now finishing school (so I have some kind of career to provide for our fam) to become an English teacher, so I recognized some quality teacher have? Good luck to you, I hope it goes well. What subject, and what age do you teach?

  2. Hi Sean - my first day was today too! Also , the 4 month anniversary of brian's death and to add to that my birthday. However, the kids were great and I felt like I just fell right back into the teaching routine. Your students are lucky to have such a great teacher. You still have many gifts to give those students. You will do great. All you can do is do the best you can right now. Good luck!!
