As a young teacher entering the world of education, I found myself feeling alone and confused about my future. I doubted my talent and gift each day while praying to God to show me the way to help my students claim their victory in this life. Day after day, I found myself searching for inspiration to teach and learn while trying to reach the heart of my students. It was at my breaking point that I discovered I had the key to liberate my students and myself in the process. Through poetry I opened a door, and I walked in, freeing all that was in me onto the pages of my life. I realized my pain could become my passion for living life.
This book contains forty-four pages of heartfelt poetry that was written during my first year of teaching at Choir Academy of Harlem.
