One Last Thing

Tonight I was asked to write a letter to the court system asking for my student to be allowed to continue his education.

Not fun.

My gift for words failed me. I put it off for as long as I could. I am great at avoidance if nothing else, but at the very least I could do this one last thing for him.

When I finally sat down to start, I struggled with what to write so it sounded just the way I thought it should. (I mean, seriously, who knows what to write in these types of things?) What I came up with seems so pitiful in comparison to what I really wanted to say.

Sigh.

The second debriefing for staff is on Wednesday.

He'll get sent to adult prison this week as well.

  1. Ugh...that last sentence. Yes, I know he did something wrong, but it's just heartbreaking.
