COLLABORATION
Teaching is collaboration,
Not an act in isolation.
Empty vessels don’t exist,
Learners’ efforts must persist.
Nothing’s easy the first time,
But “Oh! I get it!” feels sublime.
Both of us must take a turn.
Two must try for one to learn.

LIFE LESSONS
It has been said that life is the
most patient teacher. You will be
presented with the same experience over
and over until you learn the best way
to deal with the situation..
This is not because life is cruel.
Rather, it is because things have
a way of coming back to haunt us
when we don’t deal with them.
One form of intelligence is the
ability to learn from mistakes.
When you are presented with
a painful experience, take the
time to think about how you can
avoid it in the future.
This is an example of a lesson learned.

LIFE LESSON POEM
I wrote this because my beautiful daughter
who is nine was getting teased at school
from other students.
As she told me this one day she
showed me how smart she really
was and did not allow these ignorant
children to affect her at all.
She was bright enough to feel sorry
for them instead of her self.
Thank you Emily my inspiration!

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU’RE BETTER THAN ME?
Who are you to think of me the way you do?
Who gave you the right to rant about me?
Tell me who deemed you the man or the judge?
Why do you hold in so much jealousy?
Who are you to stare and make fun and
make me your next casualty?
You silly little person what makes you think
in anyway that you are better than me?
Material things you may have more of
but that is not what makes me.
I am a very beautiful person inside and
I am filled with nothing but generosity.
So when and if you ever wizen up and
begin to understand that there is more to
life then cruelty. You will come to this place
where I am at.
Filled with love, joy, everlasting happiness
and much assurance. Hopefully you can see
past all the hurt that you are spitting out.
Come on it’s time to grow up and understand
what this life is really about because money
and things don’t make a person only.
Your inside makes who you are
Don’t continue to be so harsh to others
learn to shine brighter than that shooting star
So again I must ask of you be true to who
you really are. In everyway I think of you as
a beautiful person so what makes you so
much better than me?
