Haiku

In Memory Of
My Good Friend Greg Ofenleger
Rest In Piece My Brother.

I'm sorry but this has little to do with class but I felt like I had to right this one for my friend, my brother and my fellow fire fighter. He died this Saturday and have little information on how. But he came from a good neighborhood that was not poor but was not rich. He graduated from a school who is known for having a good reputation for having good educators, but some know the town to be racist. So this I felt that I needed to write and did so. Rest in peace my brother. You will be truly missed.

Wow, Im sorry to hear that you lost your friend. I lost a friend a few years ago, and it plain old sucks. Makes it hard to focus on things like school... hang in there.

Sorry for your loss.

I'm very sorry for your loss. It is never easy for anyone after a family member or friend passes away. It's interesting how we tend to reflect on our own lives when something tragic happens. It reminds us all that everyday is a new day and that we need to make each day count. Especially when it comes to educating the children in our school systems. As future teachers we will be tested to see how well we can perform when something tragic happens. We have to put some of the emotions aside and carry on throughout the day. For some, the children are the sense of joy that helps the teacher carry on with her day.
