|  Why I Teach I teach for the awkward for the friendless and fearful. I teach for the kids who bring tattered, worn books to lunch mingling with the peanut butter and jelly their closest friend their number one confidant. A sounding board for the soundless. I teach for the teased for the boyfriend less girls with long, feathered bangs that hang over their sad, buoyant eyes. I teach to remember. The insides of bathroom stall walls the ink cascading secrets. I am Holden Caulfield with no audience. I remember staring at my adolescent self in the muddled mirror of my Jr. High days unsure of how much I trusted myself to get me out alive. Looking back now, at those timeless, murky years, I teach to offer a light a small dancing candle beam at the end of this mossy, daunting canal.
