We waved from A distance and stayed home with family – Awaiting what the new year had in store. It was not time for new beginnings, A chance to be better and be more graceful.

The answers to these questions are simpler than they seem And we must awake from this unconscious dream. Grades have set an unfair bar. No stranger can tell us who we are. Grades do not measure a person.
