Salute BRAVE Teacher

In a quiet classroom when shadows creep, The long corridor you’ve always kept clean, There are stories to tell; Each lesson of sweat, Every staying up late, Each teaching with a smile; Each frustration over a clue, The happiness you spent with kids, The indifference of the colleagues, And sometimes arguments at their finest.  And most of the time the isolation from the leaders, All these speak the truth: you’re a fighter! With every stumble, with every fall, You rise again; you stand up tall. The world may turn a blind eye now, But the stars still shine, and they know how.  You guide the weary, the lost, the naive, You shore up those who are pursuing achievements,  And that’s your win!

She often polished her nails in bright colors that matched her stylish, well-tailored clothes. I was a freshman when I first saw her with my brother Billy in the gym. We did not forma...

A Cry at Night

In silence,  I speak; in silence,  I shout these very words,  and no one can ever hear  until I open up:  Their illness was eating them up. It was a parasite consuming their brain cells.  They couldn’t make responsible decisions.  But despite knowing that these symptoms  Were caused by their mental condition  They blamed others and especially me.  But their illness cannot be their scapegoat.  It's not an excuse to make up stories and gossip.  Their tiny brain can't cover up all those lies,  That results in the loss of someone's reputation.  Their mental illness will lead them to nothing but hell.   The Effects of Bullying at Work (based on my experience) The Daily Struggle: Each day began with a knot in my stomach, knowing I would face the bullies. Their taunts echoed in my mind, making it hard to focus on anything else. I would walk through the hallways, feeling invisible yet painfully aware of their eyes on ...
