It was a hand-drawn 4 of me,teeth blackened and the words “I’m stupid” coming out of my mouth.
I managed to fold it up calmly.My mind, 5 ,was working angrily as I struggled not to 6 .I figured I knew the two most likely candidates for drawing the picture.It would do them some 7 to teach them a lesson,and maybe it was high time that I did it!

As I 11 the notes later,many of them said something like,“I’ve got nothing against you.”or “I’m sorry you were hurt.”Some kids said,“We’re 12 of you.”But two notes,from the girls who I 13 were behind the picture,had a list of issues.I was too 14 ,too strict...
Reading those notes,I realized that over the course of this year,instead of 15 my students,I had begun commanding them to 16 .Where I thought I was driving them to success,I was 17 driving them away.

This was a lesson for both the kids and me.Forgiveness does not change the past,but it does enlarge the 20 .
