Commonplace Fall 2025

20 kids teach me more than I am ready to learn. More than I can sort out on my drives or in the night. 20 kids teach me about a rigged school system. 20 kids pushed me to learn til it hurt. Donald made it to the June podium in 12th grade. I didn’t. Sonny’s sister didn’t. Kneinah didn’t.

Our school got a Blue Ribbon from the State. I don’t know about the rest.
