The Brave Ones

Today was a good day.

First jump, first leap towards success.

Benchmarks, homework.

They are actually learning stuff.

5th period. Dramatic Literature. Original Macbeth Soliloquies

L as Lady M.
Soliloquy written so authentically (she included stage directions!) that it was hard for her (as a non actor) to read.

Jealous giggles.

She shuts down.

I shut it down. Command. Take over.

I am now L's Lady M.

Her words: my voice.

Mesmerized silence.

L's applause, as reflected toward me. Respect. Envy. Just plain damn impressed.

Setting the bar high. Thank GOD they did it for me.

This is what it's like in Jamie's class.

Yeah, today was a really good day.
