my epiphany

[JonathanBelles]

today was a monumental day for me. it started out like any other day. but then at 12:30 (4th period) i was told that i would be mediating (as i am in peer mediation) freshman that on the brink of failing. these kids are in a class called learning strateges. these kids dont have a care in the world about their future and actully dont know how to write a schedule for themselves. in a survey of the 14 kids, 13 of them said that they only use the computer for other subjects than school. 11 of them have said they have thought or tried to commit suiside. i can guarentee you that half of them will turn up in the justace department (probation, jail, on a CSI death investigation table.) Today i was in there for survalence, but on monday and into the coming weeks i will be mediating them. im not sure how, but im just going to do it. i feel these kids. while listening with these kids i learned that i no longer had stage fright. on my way home i decided to walk instead of drive (something i usually dont do) and as soon as i stepped off campus it started pouring and i realized i didnt care (normally i would be pissed, i had a $75 textbook in my hand and was getting soaked.) there was no thunder or lightning, (very unusual) just a very heavy downpour. i to this minute think that god was crying. at ths point i realized my epiphany. that is where i will leave it and i will update later.
