Take heart, Scott.  There's hope for my students after all.  And 
thanks so much for your post... think of us fondly, and send a prayer 
our way.  We need as many as we can get."

--Oh Ebony that was wonderful. I was sad, and happy and everything at 
the same time when I read that.  I feel now that I have a view, if 
only a tiny one into how these kids are living. Thank you for 
sharing. I love your writing it truly coveys a sense of power and 
emotion that I could only hope to one day acheive.. 

But I can't really understand your post, I can't relate to it. I'm 
growing up in a small town, upper-middle class. My life has never 
really been in the positions of those kids, and I wont pretend to be 
able to relate to them. We'd argue that they should never have to 
face what they do everyday, but if they listen to you and others who 
understand them they'll come out better for trying.

Yes, you have my prayers.
